Buknoy Glamurrr’s Management, Star Image Artist Management released a statement refuting the post circulating about the vlogger involving a prank in a Catholic Church.
The deleted statement reads, “Yes, Buknoy committed mistakes in the past, but spreading fake news and mocking the Catholic Church is ungodly. Please be a responsible page owner.”
Star Image Artist Management also called out the Philippine Star about the inappropriate use of their logo to spread the viral post.
“To Philippine Star, your logo is being used/imitated to spread this immoral kind of post. Please act accordingly.”
The said post came from a facebook page named Nyebe, claiming that the vlogger mixed in orange juice powder with holy water in St. Paul the Apostle Parish Church.
The post also claimed that the vlogger got arrested afterwards.
Netizens expressed their dismay over the ‘fake news.’ However, some noted that they weren’t surprised by the viral post given Glamurrr’s prior behavior.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble but as much as how I despise the mere existence of Buknoy Glamur, the news spreading about his alleged Holy water Tang Prank is FAKE. This Facebook page initially put a link for the full story but it will direct you to Lazada. #FactCheck muna. pic.twitter.com/oc1CyjTd8c
filo besties. so i just saw the latest issue of buknoy abt mixing tang and holy water. I’m not defending him but before you share it on you platforms, and before attacking him pls make sure that you aren’t a victim of FAKE NEWS.
I’m not defending of buknoy or what soever but all I can say is that FILIPINOS are indeed a victim of fake news. They bashed him/her to the point that many people want him/her to di3, they jumped into conclusion without searching or digging more if the news is definite. pic.twitter.com/k6DP1KgAsT
This is the reason why FAKE NEWS still exist dahil hindi kayo marunong mag fact check sa reliable news. Not a fan of Buknoy but cursing him because he did something awful kahit hindi naman niya ginawa is fucked up. There’s a difference between Phil Star and Phil St4r OKAY?
the admin of this facebook page can be sued for defamation. THIS NEWS ABOUT BUKNOY IS FAKE! so stop spreading this. #FactCheck muna bago kuda. pic.twitter.com/cLjkFVK9hD
Sorry to be a party pooper but aren’t you guys alarmed at how quick people attacked Buknoy, Barbie Forteza, and even Loonyo after being targeted by satire news pages on FB?
Goes to prove how Filipinos are susceptible to fake news. Bash muna bago fact-check.
