A former Law dean of the University of the Philippines (UP) on Wednesday defended a student who drew insults from netizens after he was seen on television forcibly driving his car through a flooded street.
“You may be amused by the mistakes or misfortunes of others. But, this does not entitle you to degrade their entire character or make conclusions about their whole person," said former UP College of Law Dean Marvic Leonen in a Facebook post defending Christopher Lao, the driver whose car went floating on a flooded street after he forced his vehicle through it.
“Christopher Lao does not deserve the treatment he is getting from others in Facebook and Twitter. And yes, he is from UP College of Law and we are still proud of him," Leonen added.
Shown by GMA News on Tuesday, the video of Lao is now viral on social networking sites and, as of this posting, has made him the 8th trending or most discussed Twitter topic worldwide.
In the Philippines, Christopher Lao is the 4th trending topic, a notch under #zubiri or Senator Miguel Zubiri who announced his resignation Wednesday.
On Twitter, more people talked about Lao than Koko Pimentel, the lawyer said to have been victimized by the election fraud that also made Zubiri resign. Pimentel is only the 6th Twitter trending topic nationwide, as of this posting. — With Paterno Esmaquel II/VS, GMA News

Re: Ex-UP Law dean defends student who drove car through QC flood
Daghan sad kaayo ug hinawayon sa kalibutan oi. Abi nasayop ang tao (or nag tinanga) does not mean everyone now has the right to make fun of or insult him. Hilas gyud nuon kaayo iyang tinubagan, nangita siya ug ma-basol sa nahitabo niya bisag siya ray sad-an. Pero to make a Facebook page so people can practically crucify and mock him is too much.
(I have to admit though, seeing the car float and get pushed like a water raft made for some perfect comedy, hehe!)

According to a friend who's from the UP College of Law, the guy was actually rushing to the hospital to his kid. Perhaps we can all give him a break.
