Netizens slammed former Vice-President Noli De Castro for being ‘rude’ to fellow journalist Winnie Cordero during her report on TV Patrol last night.
Cordero was in Quiapo to report the preparation for the feast of the Black Nazarene. De Castro said that Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada should act on the complaints of devotees against ambulant vendors but according to Cordero the city administrator already discussed the matter during their meeting.
De Castro interrupted her and insisted that it was not implemented last year even though Estrada assured him during an interview that he would act on it.
On Twitter, netizens expressed disappointments that Cordero wasn’t given a chance to answer De Castro regarding the issue and for immediately cutting her off the segment.
Twitter user Norberto D. Bana III @jjunbana wrote, “Pity Winnie Cordero whose news broadcast was interrupted by the commentary of the idiotic former VP Noli De Castro! @ABSCBNNews”
Other users also comment on the issue.

As usual, pinapainit nanaman ni Noli de Castro ang ulo ko. Akala mo kung sinong magaling wala namang nagawa nung siya ang nakaupo.

The act that Noli de Castro showed to Ms. Winnie Cordero was very rude! Bakit di mo patapusin si Ms. Winnie sa sinasabi niya? @ABSCBNNews

Noli de Castro is such a hypocrite. He acts as if he was never the VP of this country, you're to blame as well with our country's situation
