This prompted Kusug Tausug party-list Rep. Shernee Tan-Tambut to post on the social networking site, Facebook her disappointment at Raissa Robles.
According to her, she respects Robles for being an opposition to the incoming Marcos administration but she should not forget that as a journalist that her duty is bound to put fairness and facts before biases.

Here’s the open letter of Shernee Tan-Tambut:
