The digital world can be a dangerous place when satire is mistaken for reality.

The post, which was meant to be satirical but lacked clear labeling, painted the influencer as elitist and insensitive.

The controversial statement that circulated online read: “Sumakay ako isang beses sa MRT, sa Taft, hindi na mauulit. Ang daming tao, siksikan, nakakadiri. As in, naligo agad ako pag-uwi.” Because many netizens failed to realize the post was a joke, it sparked an immediate wave of mockery and anger across various platforms.

Tired of the mounting backlash, Fhukerat finally decided to address the issue. She released a statement reminding everyone that not everything seen online is true and that rumors can have devastating effects on someone's life.

“Rumors can destroy a person’s name in seconds. Not everything we read or see online deserves our attention or belief. Before reacting, before sharing pause. Comprehension and fact-checking should always come first. Silence is better than spreading lies. Not every story is worth your voice,” Fhukerat stated.
