Singer Leah Navarro declared ‘persona non grata’ in Gen San over ‘retribution’ tweet

General Santos City has declared singer Leah Navarro a “persona non grata,” Monday.

This is related to Navarro’s reaction to Atty Theodore Te’s tweet, which points out that the strong earthquake in Mindanao seemed to be a “retribution.”

In Te’s tweet on October 31, where he seemed to be asking: “What’s with all the earthquakes in Mindanao?” Navarro replied, “Retribution?”

Inquirer.net reports confirmed that Leah Navarro has been “unanimously approved by the council” to be declared “persona non grata,” although it has to be finalized.

Navarro, meanwhile, apologized.

In his Twitter post on Monday (Nov. 4), Navarro said she had also removed the post in the wake of calls for relief from earthquake victims.

“I apologized and deleted my tweet, but they just couldn’t find in their hearts to forgive my one-word reply in the form of a question” Now they’ve twisted it into a declaration. Why not help Mindanao instead? Stop wasting time on me, I’m not a victim, ”she added.

Even Te’s tweet has been deleted.
