MANILA, Philippines - A lawyer of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo fired off a gay slur against Press Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III on Twitter, calling him a "faggot".

"Manuel Quezon III is a faggot of the worst kind," Ferdinand Topacio said on his Twitter account.

Interviewed by InterAksyon.com, Topacio said he was standing by his statement and refused to take the tweet down.

"Eh, hindi ba totoo yun? I used faggot not in the sense of his sexual orientation, I meant it in regards to his personality as a spineless person, Topacio said.

The lawyer said his tweet was in response to his being described as a Hitler-lover in a blog by Quezon.

In a February 22 blog post, "The Seventh Charge: The Story of the Great Escape," Quezon mentioned Topacio while discussing the foiled attempt of Arroyo and her husband, Jose Miguel, to leave the country, ostensibly to seek treatment for the former president.

Quezon wrote: The Arroyos had, on the surface, complied with the conditions imposed by the Supreme Court: theyd posted a 2 million peso bond, and given their lawyer, Hitler-loving Ferdinand Topacio, a special power of attorney.

Topacio said: "I'm a student of Hitler's life. I do not idolize him."
