Edu Manzano created a short buzz on Twitter earlier today for saying that President Noynoy Aquino was spotted with Grace Lee in Promenade, Greenhills. A few hours later, he retracted what he posted and admitted, "'Nakuryente' ako, and I was foolish to tweet unconfirmed chismis."

Presidential Spokesperson corrected Edu Manzano's Twitter post by saying that PNoy was in a board meeting with National Economic Development Authority.

Isa na namang personalidad ang umani ng batikos mula sa publiko dahil sa microblogging site na Twitter.

Mabilis na kumalat ang nai-post ng TV host-actor na si Edu Manzano sa Twitter na diumano'y nakita niyang magkasama sina Panguloy Noynoy Aquino at Grace Lee.

Kaninang pasado alas-dos ng hapon, Marso 21, nang i-post ni Edu sa kanyang personal na Twitter account ang sumusunod:

"PNoy and Grace Lee spotted at Promenade Greenhills today. In the middle of the day. To be fair, it IS a nice day for a leisurely stroll."

Hindi sinabi ni Edu kung siya mismo ang nakakita kina PNoy at Grace.

Pero agad namang pinabulaanan ni Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda, sa pamamagitan din ng Twitter, ang tweet ni Edu.

Aniya, "@RealEduManzano Ur tweet is tsismis. The President is presiding over a NEDA Board meeting. It started at 10, the meeting is still ongoing."

Ilang sandali pa ay agad namang binawi ni Edu ang kanyang nai-post at humingi ng paumanhin sa publiko.

Base sa paliwanag ni Edu, tila may nakapagsabi lamang sa kanya na nakita sina PNoy at Grace sa Greenhills.

Ito ang mga sumunod na Twitter posts ni Edu:

"Pnoy was NOT in Promenade with Grace Lee today. It was unconfirmed gossip, and I was overeager. I deserve all the backlash. Lesson learned.

"Sorry for the confusion, everyone. In local parlance, 'nakuryente' ako, and I was foolish to tweet unconfirmed chismis."

Dahil sa paliwanag na ito ni Edu, marami tuloy ang bumatikos sa kanya dahil sa maling impormasyong inilahad niya sa Twitter.

Sinagot naman ito ni Edu sa pamamagitan ng muling pag-amin sa kanyang pagkakamali.

Sabi niya, "And to those who have posted personal attacks against me, I sincerely understand. Lord knows I've given you a lot of material to work with."

    overeager or not, the tweet was factually wrong. but edu did the right thing upon realizing his mistake. he quickly took responsibility---that's how it's done. and he certainly does not deserve the humorless reaction from pnoy.

    babyshy you seem to forget that Noy2 is the president,and it is the malacanang's job/duty to adress any issue that has to do with the president,and of course they are going to react to a very malicious tweet or issue. cherchezlafemme a true character of a real man not only accept ones wrong doing but ALSO doesn't gossip so you are half way correct!and also a well educated person should know that before posting malicious comments about a very public person should investigate his sources thoroughly!

    jams_mom Edu just burned it... PNoy has meetings ongoing so it's none sense doubting Edu's Admission. . . Anyway, though he is a politician, he has not established a bridge with PNoy so there is nothing to worry about burning things that does not exist...

    Tunay na lalaki and may pinag-aralan dahil nag-apologize? Of course dapat lang mag-apologize sya dahil obvious na mali sya. In the 1st place ang taong may pinag-aralan at "tunay na lalaki" eh hindi magtu-tweet ng unconfirmed and malicious info without basis. Halata naman na may malicious intent sya kaya nya tinuweet un eh.

    Yan kasi pa tweet tweet pa. Tell me, ano bang mabuting naidudulot ng tweet for personal use? Maaari pa for business, like announcements for promos or stuff, yan ipa-follow ko.. I mean, really, is there a need to tell everyone everything? And celebs say they crave privacy. Echos!

    okidokimac, remember that edu is STILL a politician, and he would not want to burn bridges... i have doubts about edu's admission of his 'mistake'...

    Kasi naman, Edu.... Pero okay naman at di mo sinagot isa-isa yung nag-bash sa iyo. At least, umamin ka na ikaw nagbigay ng ammunition sa mga taong batikusin ka. Di tulad ng isa diya lahat na lang pinatulan, siya pa raw yung may class at well-read, hahahaha!
