Know your meme: What Alice Guo said that visibly exasperated Hontiveros | ABS-CBN News

In a now-circulating clip on social media, Sen. Risa Hontiveros is seen visibly frustrated, lowering her head out of view during Senate proceedings, but without context.

That five-second emerging meme — now used as a reaction for manic Mondays, or for any sort of exasperation — came from the September 9 hearing of a Senate panel investigating Alice Guo's escape from the Philippines and her alleged links to illegal POGOs.

Hontiveros was asking Guo whether she knows Atty. Elmer Galicia, the lawyer who notarized her counter-affidavit in August, but instead of answering "yes" or "no," she invoked her right against self-incrimination.

When prompted again to answer, Guo instead told Hontiveros that she prefers to consult her legal counsel first, eliciting the now-viral reaction from the senator.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago would've gone ballistic if she was here.

[myblue]

This hearing is an utter waste of time. You can never get the truth from a professional liar.

[JulieReyes-qv]

Ang galing ni Risa, chill lang pero may sense lahat ng tanong. Alam na alam ang ginagawa at itatanong. Salute!

[jeusjohn]

[DeathBySnuuuSnuuu]

"I consult ko lang po si Atty. David kung magsisinungaling po ako."

[UCGYjS-bEXlPDYKGbboww]

You really need a lot of patience with this woman. She is wasting the country’s money and resources and she doesnt care. Yung amnesia tactic niya nakakasawa na. She needs to cooperate or else walang katapusan itong hearing na ito. I salute Risa dahil ang haba nang pasensiya na. Kung yung ibang senador yan iba na ang mga lalabas sa bibig nila.

[TishYang]

I salute ma'am risa sa haba ng pasensya pag ako cguro yan pektosan ko na yes or no lang dipa masagot😂

[joeyam]

This is a battle between two nationalities. If I were Alice's attorney, I will resign as her legal consultant. What he's doing now is a mere example of "Traydor" to his country and countrymen.

[betacross]

Mga corrupt people are creatures of comfort. Ilagay nyo yan sa uncomfortable detention as in pagkain lang walang aircon or any luxury then you can break them. Di tatagal yan sa hirap maniwala kayu.
