DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda caught the ire of netizens after posting unprofessional posts on social media against Enchong Dee.
Antiporda has recently posted on his Facebook account ad hominem against Enchong and made insinuations about the latter’s gender preference.
In his post, Antiporda said, “Enchong Dee, lalake ang piliin mong kaespadahan hindi babae!!!”
Prior to that, the controversial USec also about the controversial Jonel linked to Sen. Leila de Lima. Antiporda in his post asked, “Mas disente pa rin ba ang saging na saba ni Jonel?”
Those posts have caught the attention and ire of netizens calling out his unprofessionalism being a public servant.
In his tweet, Kapamilya reporter Jervis Manahan shared the screenshot of Antiporda’s FB posts with the caption from Section 4 of the Code of Conduct of Public Officials.
“Section 4 of the Code of Conduct for Public Officials: Public officials/employees shall perform and discharge their duties with the highest degree of excellence, professionalism, intelligence, and skill. They shall enter public service with utmost devotion and dedication to duty.”

Kapuso host Kiko Rustia meanwhile reacted to Manahan’s post slamming Antiporda’s behavior relating it to his tabloid background and comparing him to the likes of Mocha Uson, Banat By, and Lorraine Badoy.
“Edi lumabas din ang REMATE background ni Antiporda. His only background. Diba mas bagay sya sa PCOO kasama sila Mocha, Banat, Badoy, etc….”

@YOLOinthePH meanwhile agreed with Rustia saying tabloid is indeed Antiporda’s experience, wondering how he got the DENR post.
“Yan talaga ang expertise ni Antiporda. Tabloid na tabloid. Sino ba bobong nag-appoint sa kanya sa @DENROfficial?”

Enchong meanwhile is not giving Antiporta the attention he wanted. Since the post, Enchong has chosen not to react, making Antiporda seem like a famewhore gossipmonger.
Here are other reactions from netizens regarding Antiporda’s uncalled for social media post.
“Sobrang bastos talaga itong si Antiporga! Sobrang bilib sa sarili! Conduct unbecoming of a public official! This is how Duterte’s appointee goes down so low!!!,” said @m_adelie
