Content creator Davao Conyo (Phillip Hernandez in real life) refused to create parody content about the ongoing controversy involving Kapamilya stars Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings, and non-showbiz personality Jamela Villanueva, emphasizing the need to respect others’ personal struggles.
The issue began on December 3, 2024, when Jamela Villanueva accused her boyfriend, Anthony Jennings, of cheating during their nearly seven-year relationship. Jamela shared screenshots of private messages between Anthony and Maris, alleging a secret relationship between the two while she and Anthony were still together.
The revelation quickly became a trending topic on social media, drawing public attention and debate.
As the controversy unfolded, a fan asked Davao Conyo during a Q&A on Instagram Stories to create a humorous entry about the issue. The request read: “Make entry for Maris issue please. Hahahah. Looking forward.”
Instead of acquiescing, Davao Conyo used the opportunity to address the importance of sensitivity in content creation.
“Ante, hindi maganda yang pinagtatawanan ang may pinagdadaanan. Sana di mo ma-experience,” he replied.
Davao Conyo firmly expressed his stance against exploiting others’ personal struggles for entertainment.
“Making fun of others for the sake of quick views is one of the lowest forms of content. It’s lazy and malicious,” he stated.
He explained that while humor can help lighten situations or hold people accountable, targeting individuals for their mistakes is harmful and counterproductive.
“Shaming a mistake is different from shaming an evil person,” he said, adding that content creators who exploit such situations lack integrity and should be avoided.
Davao Conyo’s response quickly trended on X (formerly Twitter), with many fans praising his maturity and ethical approach to content creation.
Davao Conyo’s principled stand resonates with his audience, reinforcing the importance of responsible content creation and respect for personal boundaries.
