Social media personality Rendon Labador didn’t hold back in criticizing controversial motovlogger Yanna, who recently went viral after a heated altercation with a fellow motorist, which included her making a rude hand gesture.
Despite Yanna’s public apology, netizens and even the Land Transportation Office (LTO)—which issued a show cause order—continued to hold her accountable.
On May 1, Rendon expressed his disappointment in a strongly worded Facebook post.
“Yanna, paalala lang… ang pagiging influencer ay isang malaking responsibilidad. Mayroon tayong social responsibility na dapat tayo ang manguna sa pagpapakita ng respeto sa kapwa. Nakakalungkot na hindi mo naibagay ang ugali mo sa itsura mo. Muka kang mabango pero ang baho naman ng ugali mo,” he wrote.
He followed with a firm piece of advice, coming from his own experience with controversy: “Mahirap yang pinagdadaanan mo, alam ko. Kahit maging feeling tough ka, alam kong nasa dilim ka ngayon. Sana ibaba mo ang ego mo at humingi ka ng tawad sa mga tao.”
Rendon also took a swipe at what he sees as Yanna’s unwarranted pride: “Hindi ko alam kung saan ka humuhugot ng kayabangan—hindi ka naman sikat, hindi ka naman sobrang ganda, at lalong hindi ka sobrang yaman para mag-attitude.”
Emphasizing the importance of accountability, he urged people like Yanna to stay away from public spaces if they can’t show respect, especially as part of the motorcycle community, which he says should be upheld, not tarnished.
“Ito ay isang positibong gawain na dapat nating mahalin.”
To end his post, Rendon offered help—but not without a dose of tough love: “Yanna, andito lang ako kung kailangan mo ng totoong payo. Yung mga kaibigan mong influencer na ginagatungan ka pa ay hindi mo totoong kaibigan. Magbago ka na habang hindi pa huli ang lahat. Andito lang kuya Rendon mo—sasampalin kita ng katotohanan.”
The motovlogger has yet to respond publicly to Rendon’s remarks.
