ABS-CBNNews.com, citing a Bandila report, reveals that Senator Tito Sotto has denied copying the 1966 speech of the late U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy. Sotto delivered the third and last part of his anti-RH Bill speech at the Senate on Wednesday, September 5, and was once again accused of plagiarism.
Â
During his speech, Sotto adamantly said that he used Tagalog in his speech to make sure that he wouldn’t be accused of plagiarism again. However, in another ABS-CBNNews.com report, social media user Michel Eldiy pointed out that a huge chunk of Sotto’s speech was actually a word-for-word translation of Kennedy’s "Day of Affirmation" speech, which he delivered in post-colonial South Africa in June 6, 1966.
Â
So, what’s Sotto excuse this time around? He told ABS-CBN News that the alleged plagiarized passage was sent to him by a friend who didn’t exactly tell him where it came from.
