Comedian and “Eat Bulaga” host Allan K warned the public about a Facebook post using his name and image.
On Wednesday, March 25, the TV personality shared a screengrab of a Facebook post urging Filipinos to stock up on food, water, and solar power stations.
The post also encouraged people to withdraw their savings, claiming that “money will no longer be any use” once a “serious crisis” hits.
“Hindi natin alam kung anong mga mangyayari sa mga susunod na buwan. Maaaring kahit papano, maayos pa sa ngayon, pero hindi natin alam, paggising natin kinabukasan, kung ano na ang sitwasyon,” the page said.
Allan K disowned the post on his Instagram account, clarifying that he does not have a Facebook account.
“Hindi po ako ito. Wala po akong Facebook account,” he wrote.
The Facebook page, despite having a verified badge, describes itself as a “fan page made with love for Allan K. and Dabarkads” and has 306,000 followers.
The post that caught Allan K’s attention has garnered 86,000 likes and reactions, 19,000 shares and 7,300 comments.
Meanwhile, comedian Pokwang was among those who commented on the Allan K’s Instagram post.
“Sabi ko na nga ba mare, @allan_klownz, hindi ikaw ‘yan kasi gandang-ganda sakin lagi ‘yan, bwahahahahahhaa,” she quipped.
Major oil crisis
Meanwhile, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. assured the public that the country has enough crude oil to last until June.
As of March 20, the Philippines has up to 45 days’ worth of fuel supply, according to the Department of Energy.
Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said the country has 23 days’ worth of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) for cooking, 38 days’ worth of jet fuel, 45 days’ worth of diesel, 53 days’ worth of gasoline, 61 days’ worth of fuel oil, and 97 days’ worth of kerosene.
The global community is facing a major oil crisis amid the conflict in the Middle East, as suppliers struggle to ship products due to military strikes involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
This volatile situation has caused a sharp rise in petroleum prices, leaving motorists to contend with high fuel costs.
