Social media personality Kier Garcia, popularly known as Fhukerat, released a general statement reminding the public about responsible online behavior following renewed discussion over a viral satire art card involving MRT commuters.
The issue resurfaced after a Facebook page bearing the name of comedian and ‘Tiktoclock’ host Wacky Kiray reposted the satirical content and criticized what it described as a disparaging remark about MRT passengers. The page, which has more than 500,000 followers, is not verified, though some netizens assumed it was operated by the comedian.
The viral art card quoted a supposed statement attributed to Fhukerat about riding the MRT and immediately taking a bath afterward—content that was widely shared online but has not been confirmed to be an actual quote.
Following the circulation of the post, Fhukerat shared a message on his own social media account addressing misinformation, without naming or directly responding to any individual.
“Rumors can destroy a person’s name in seconds. Not everything we read or see online deserves our attention or belief,” he wrote.
“Comprehension and fact-checking should always come first. Silence is better than spreading lies.”
In a follow-up comment, he added: “Nag sisimula na naman silang manira pag sumagot ako na masama!”
While many netizens interpreted Fhukerat’s post as a reaction to the circulating criticism, he did not directly mention Wacky Kiray, the Facebook page, or the MRT-related post.
As of this writing, no official or verified statement has been released by Wacky Kiray addressing the controversy or confirming ownership of the Facebook page in question.
