Christopher Lao Stars in BPI Auto Loans Viral Online Video! Bounces Back From Falling Victim to Cyber-Bullying!
TechPinas Exclusive!
Remember Christopher Lao? The UP Law student who achieved online infamy way back in August, at the wake of Typhoon Kabayan?
Quoting TP (in our Christopher Lao : 'The Guy Who Wasn't Informed' coverage):
Back then, Christopher fell victim to cyber-bullying with thousands of people on Facebook calling him downright bobo and tanga, and several other thousands on Twitter slamming him for blaming other people for his own 'shortcomings'.

Watch it here FIRST!
TP Message: "Oh, Christopher! You are a living proof that we all can make it through the rain."
