Maxdefense' Fake News on the Light Tank Issue

At nagkalat na naman pala ng FAKE NEWS si Max Montero ng Maxdefense. Ang hilig sa expression na “kumain ng Tae” e SIYA MISMO ang kumakain ng Tae. 

Unang una, wala akong Manok sa mga bili ng AFP, hindi katulad niya na LAGING me Manok, kaya pilit na pilit pinapasikat ng mga Hudas na Military Leakers niya. I feature in my Blogs kung ano ang ni re release sa local or international Press about the AFP procurement. 

Pangalawa, as I keep saying, hindi ako si Johnny Mercury. Pinagpipilitan lang niyang si Kupal na iisa kami para palabasing konti lang ang bwisit sa gagong ugali niya and so he can attack both me and Johnny at the same time.
