Social media personality Rendon Labador has called out fellow content creator Ser Geybin following the backlash over a now-deleted video titled “Slide”, which featured a minor in what netizens deemed an inappropriate and suggestive setup.
In the video, Ser Geybin is seen encouraging a young girl to slide down a chair that many viewers interpreted as resembling an adult-themed prop. The content immediately drew widespread criticism from the online community, especially parents and women’s groups, for its tone-deaf and potentially exploitative nature.
Labador didn’t mince words as he condemned the video, emphasizing the need for accountability among influencers and creators.
“HINDI NAKAKATAWA AT HINDI BIRO!!! Ginagamit ninyo ang mga bata sa kagaguhan ninyo,” he wrote. “Mga content creators, huwag kayo masasanay na basta mag-public apology lang ay okay na. Dapat ito maimbestigahan at hindi dapat palampasin.”
He further called on government agencies to take action: “Apology accepted palagi at dapat talaga itama. PERO dapat ito mapagtuunan ng pansin. Tinatawagan ko ang karapat-dapat na ahensya ng gobyerno para aksyunan ito. Oras na para maging accountable ang mga content creators dito sa Pinas.”
In follow-up posts, Labador reiterated the urgency of setting standards and consequences for content creation involving minors.
“Kung walang sisita, hindi natin maitatama,” he added. “Lumalala na yung paggawa ng mga iresponsableng content… Oras na para tutukan yung mga ganitong isyu. Nakakabahala na at hindi dapat pabayaan lang.”
He even referenced a recent case involving a motorist named Yanna, whose publicized road behavior led to swift action from the LTO.
“Yung kay Yanna, naaksyunan ng tama. Tumalino ang LTO sa issue na yun at gumalaw talaga sila. Salamat po at mababawasan na ang mga entitled na tao sa public roads.”
In response to the uproar, Ser Geybin issued a public apology on his Facebook page on the evening of May 14. In his post, he acknowledged the misstep and said the upload was made without fully considering its implications.
“Pasensya na talaga kung bigla akong nawala nitong mga nakaraang araw,” he wrote. “Kailangan ko lang munang magpahinga at mag-focus sa sarili. Dumaan ako sa mga bagay na medyo mabigat mentally and emotionally… Muli po, patawad po at hindi na po mauulit.”
Despite the apology, many netizens and fellow creators—including Labador—believe the issue warrants formal scrutiny, citing the importance of protecting minors from harmful or exploitative online content.
