Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV made the proposal after President Duterte
used his recent public address to rant against Facebook.
Duterte is furious after Facebook took down alleged fake accounts linked to
his government.
“Instead of banning Facebook in the Philippines, why not just BAN DUTERTE AND
HIS MINIONS from Facebook? Less toxicity na and less fake news pa,” Trillanes
tweeted on Sept. 30.

The Facebook takedown of pro-government accounts drew the ire of Duterte early
this week.
Duterte, who won the 2016 polls largely with the help of social media, trained
his sights on Facebook, questioning why he should allow them to stay in the
country.
The 75-year-old also called for a meeting with Facebook, saying he wanted Mark
Zuckerberg’s company to explain their purpose in the country.
