Mark Lopez, a vocal social media activist and a known Rodrigo Duterte supporter posted through his Facebook account, a photo of ABS-CBN journalist Jorge Cariño who was posing with former President Benigno Aquino and Vice President Leni Robredo at his wedding anniversary.

Cariño on Saturday renewed his marriage vows with his wife, Daisy, after 25 years of marriage.

Held at Club Balai Isabel Isabel in Talisay, Batangas, the event was attended by several prominent personalities.

Aquino and Robredo acted as godparents in the ceremony.

"One, this is where patronage politics begin, and where propriety ends. And we all know that when patronage politics creeps in, what follows are influence peddling, graft and corruption, and ultimately, plunder," Lopez said.

"Two, what happened to ethics in the journalism profession? What about integrity? How do you now disprove bias, favoritism and unfairness when you lock in a personal relationship with public officials you are supposed to watch over?," he added.

The netizen said that the Philippine media has always been proud and adamant of its lofty status as the watchdog and fourth estate, but the event is an exception.

"So what now Jorge Cariño? How do you now treat Ninang Leni?" he said.

"How awkward it must be that before you interview her on a breaking news about a scandal involving her, your approach would be "mano po Ninang"" Lopez added.
