Just the night before, Ho was present at a dinner the President hosted in Malacañang. Ho also clarified the private dinner was not exclusive to supporters of the President: “We were invited to a ‘private dinner’ in Malacañang. Hindi po sinabi na for ‘supporters’ of the President. I was there to have conversation & decided it would help to know the other side of things.”

Meanwhile, Filipino Olympian weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz quickly also dismissed her involvement in the Malacañang’s new “ouster plot matrix” on Wednesday, May 8. This was after her name, including Gretchen Ho, appeared in a presentation shown by Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo to Palace reporters on personalities that supposedly have “online collaboration” with Jayme.
Diaz said she doesn’t know Jayme and laughed off the issue.
“Sino si Rodel Jayme? Hahaha di ko po kilala. Lol nakakatawa naman,” she told ABS-CBN News in a message Wednesday.
She tweeted that she is busy making yet another milestone for her weightlifting career and asked the Filipinos to pray for her to rank up in the next Olympic qualifying games.
Gusto ko lang pong sabihin nasa rank 5 po ako for First 6 months ng Olympic Qualifying, ipagdasal niyo na sana makapagrank 1-5 ako sa next olympic qualifying. Marami pa po akong lalaruin kailangan ko magfocus, maniwala kay God na eto ang dream niya para sakin pic.twitter.com/45IfvgEPL9
