MANILA, Philippines — Senator JV Ejercito on Tuesday belied allegations posted on Twitter that he impregnated another woman.
“A big lie!” Ejercito said, responding to a Twitter post on Tuesday.
The Twitter post read: “Hahaha tahimik ka ata @jvejercito. Busy mag settle sa nabuntis mong chief-of-staff? Lol.”
(Looks like you’re being quiet, @jvejercito. Are you busy trying to reach a settlement with your lady chief-of-staff who you impregnated?)
But the senator shot down the rumors.

In a Viber message, Ejercito lamented the proliferation of fake news, saying these were “propelled by irresponsible social media users.”
“Sobra bastos and irresponsible ng mga nasa Twitter ngayon. Makapanira lang,” he said.
