It seemed Alex Gonzaga continued to be one of the most hated celebrities in the country today.
It came after several netizens questioned and criticized Gonzaga for boasting about her Twitter blue check.
On Tuesday, April 25, Gonzaga proudly “paraded” her blue check in a tweet, even tagging Twitter CEO Elon Mask.
According to her, “Ayyy! Wala talaga akong blue check noon kaya nagulat ako bigla akong nagkaroon. Thanks ah bro @elonmusk. rockz.”

While the majority of netizens have criticized Gonzaga, there were those who gave possible reasons for her blue check.
“Actually binigyan ng blue check ni Twitter yung nga accounts na may million followers :)”
