The image depicts the figures wearing face masks and standing near a police vehicle, though it remains unclear if the car was unrelated to the individuals or part of a security detail.

The actor’s caption was direct and carried a tone of "fair play." He noted that since these individuals had spent considerable time documenting his private life without consent, he felt it was only appropriate to share their likenesses with the public.

"Since ilang araw niyo rin naman na kinukunan ng picture and video yung labas ng bahay namin, okay lang naman din siguro na i-post yung picture niyo para patas lang," Paulo wrote in his X post.

The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the boundaries between public figures and their followers.

Many fans were quick to express their alarm, citing the actor’s right to a "safe space" away from the cameras.

Some netizens even drew chilling parallels to Paulo’s 2020 award-winning film, Fan Girl, which explores the dangerous extremes of celebrity obsession.

The identities of those involved have not been disclosed, and it is currently unknown whether the individuals are overzealous fans or part of a more organized group.

During the 2026 Sinulog Festival in Cebu, Paulo went viral for politely but firmly declining an invitation to visit a digital gaming booth. While on a festival float, the actor explicitly stated, "I don't like gambl1ng," while making a defensive "X" gesture with his arms to a booth host.
