Mr. Flip refers to Felix Filip , the Germany-based developer behind the game GoreBox. Senator Risa Hontiveros was referring to him in connection with the Senate inquiry into the Tacloban school shooting, where he declined to attend the hearing.

Context

Hontiveros said she was disappointed that Mr. Filip chose not to appear at the upcoming hearing, because she wanted to ask him questions directly.

The reports also say the committee planned to ask the German Embassy for help in facilitating his participation in the investigation.

Why he was mentioned

The name came up because the Senate was looking into the role of the GoreBox game in the broader issue surrounding the Tacloban tragedy.

Bottom line

So, “Mr. Flip” is almost certainly a reference to Felix Filip , not a separate public figure.
