They were allegedly among the personalities that had links to Rodel Jayme, the webmaster accused of spreading the “Ang Totoong Narco-list” series of videos that linked the President and members of his family to the illegal narcotics trade.
“Dami ko pang goals sa life and Pinas para sumali sa ganyang bagay. Nashock lang ako nalink ako sa ganyan,” Diaz said in a tweet.
Ho, likewise, denied knowing Jayme nor the viral videos.
“Regarding being included in the ‘matrix’, I don’t even know who Bikoy is, I have never watched the videos nor shared them, and I have no idea who Rodel Jayme is,” Ho said in a separate tweet.
The Department of Justice has filed sedition charges against Jayme, who owns the website MetroBalita.net which allegedly started sharing the controversial video series.
