    But pooh-poohed wrongs don’t make a right. The people knew better. Student groups issued statements of protest. A petition signed by more than 30,000 Filipinos demanded Sotto’s resignation. Tweets and Internet memes mocked his arrogant sense of impunity, ensuring that “sottocopy” and “sinotto” will forever be part of his legacy. All this led Sotto to paint himself a victim, of “cyberbullying,” and threaten his critics with the now-infamous cybercrime bill.
