The actor, known for being vocal on social issues, used a popular fitness app reference to address the viral video showing the lawmaker fleeing from law enforcement agents.
The incident unfolded when agents from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) attempted to serve an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the senator.
CCTV footage, which quickly circulated on social media, captured the lawmaker in a literal sprint, eventually stumbling on stairs before reaching the safety of his office.

Reacting to the chase, Jake took to his social media page with a short but stinging post: “strava reveal naman diyan, sen.”
The reference to Strava, a mobile app widely used by runners and cyclists to track and share their routes, immediately resonated with netizens. As an avid marathon runner himself, Jake’s jab suggested that the senator’s "sprint" was worthy of a fitness log.
According to a report by Bandera Inquirer, the actor’s statement was a clear expression of his frustration over the current state of the country's legislative chamber.
Beyond the humor, Jake took a more serious political stance by including a link to the "Impeach Sara Duterte Signature Campaign" in his follow-up posts.
This move coincided with a turbulent day in the Senate, which saw a leadership coup where Senator Alan Peter Cayetano replaced Senator Vicente "Tito" Sotto III as Senate President.
While many followers cheered the actor’s "bravery" in calling out a high-ranking official, some critics pointed out the irony of his family ties.
Netizens challenged Jake to hold his own half-brothers, Senators Jinggoy Estrada and JV Ejercito, to the same standard of accountability.
Despite the mixed reactions, the "Strava reveal" remark has become a defining meme of the latest political showdown, highlighting how celebrities continue to bridge the gap between entertainment and national discourse.

Jake Ejercito is a Filipino actor and social media figure, born to former President Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez. He entered the limelight in 2016 via "Eat Bulaga!" and has since starred in dramas like "The Broken Marriage Vow." He shares a daughter, Ellie, with Andi Eigenmann; despite their 2014 split, the two maintain a successful co-parenting relationship centered on her well-being.
About a month ago, Jake showcased sentimental images of Ellie Eigenmann on social media to celebrate her latest academic and personal milestones. The actor expressed his admiration for Ellie’s poise and bravery during her participation in the Yale Model United Nations Singapore 2026. He noted the bittersweet feeling of watching his daughter mature so rapidly, affectionately referring to her as his "little girl." The online community offered a wave of support, praising both the young girl’s achievements and the actor’s visible devotion as a father.
Previously, Jake participated in the viral 2016 nostalgia trend, where he posted several old photographs, one of which featured him next to a Rodrigo Duterte cutout. The image immediately ignited a debate among followers regarding his previous political leanings and choices during that election cycle. To clear the air, the actor explicitly stated that he never endorsed nor selected the former President on his ballot. He concluded the discussion by revealing that his actual vote for the presidency in 2016 was cast in favor of Grace Poe.
