MANILA, Philippines – CNN news anchor Pinky Webb was trending on Twitter last night because of a seemingly unconscious gesture: hair flickering.

Webb was interviewing presidential spokesman Harry Roque on the controversial issue of the termination of the 1989 agreement between the University of the Philippines and the Department of National Defense. As Webb continued his interview that included UP professor Danilo Arao’s comment on the challenge to UP former students serving in the current administration, the Law School former student apparently lost his composure and questioned the line of questions from the presenter. Webb, in turn, remained calm and collected and, in a moment, gave a hair twist.
