   • 2012 November 16, “Catching ‘Tiktik’; fearing contagious stupidity”, in Manila Times‎^[2]:

     By the way, those of us who have been following “Sottogate” and the incidents of “Sottocopying” have read the letter written by Kerry Kennedy on behalf of The Robert Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights summarizing her dismay over Sen. Tito Sotto’s not only using her father’s words without proper credit, but also using them out of context. The senator has replied by saying translation to Filipino is not plagiarism and upon receiving this communication, suggested it was fake. (The veracity of the letter has already been confirmed).
