2019 SOUTHEAST Asian Games gymnast Carlos Yulo caused a stir on social media after he made public Mark Bautista’s congratulatory message sa kanya.
“Congrats, man!!! Amazing!” came Mark’s DM (direct message) which Carlos reposted sa kanyang social media account. Hindi lang ‘yan. He also posted a screenshot of Mark’s Instagram profile.
“Okay I’m shocked. He messaged me and he followed me aswell wtf?!” came Carlos’ reaction.
Minalisyahan ng netizens ang message ni Mark. To some of them, he was flirting with the champion gymnast.
In the same manner, may malisya rin ang tingin ng mga social media people sa response ni Carlos. Kasi naman, may “WTF” pa siyang idinagdag sa kanyang message. Siya raw ang naglagay ng malice sa message ni Mark. With that, nagkaroon ng DISCOURSE sa Twitter.
“You know what’s sickening? The minds of other people. Yes anjan na tayo na dapat sana this shouldn’t be in public cause di maiiwasan ng mga kapwa natin Filipino na mag isip, alam naman na sadyang mapanghusga talaga kapag PINOY! But on the other hand, why si Caloy pa mag aadjust?”
“Ang nega ng mga tao dito. Para sa isang congratulatory message from a person he idolized. Mark Bautista is Mark Bautista what the hell ang mararamdaman mo if bigla ka i-message ng taong naging famous artist din ng Philippines.”
“There’s nothing wrong with that. Siguro naman kahit sino di alam yung masasabi kapag ganon. Nakakagulat naman talaga. Walang mali don. Pero kapag siguro nag isip kapa beyond the very meaning dahil lang sa WTF and emojis, ikaw na siguro yung mali.”
“Na shock si @c_edrielzxs dahil hindi pa niya naaabsorb na ganun na sya kasikat na isang MARK BAUTISTA ang mag message para i congratulate sya at mag follow sa kanya. Wala nman sila malisya pareho.”
“Our Athletes need our support pls spread positivity. #wewinasone,” came Mark’s reaction later.
