A man went viral on social media after he uploaded a video showing his visit to Rico Yan’s resting place.
On his social media page, netizen Justin Maravilla expressed his love for Rico, who passed away 22 years ago.
In some parts of the video, Justin can be seen leaning on the actor’s tomb and even caressing it.
However, netizens didn’t like how random people visited Rico’s grave and believed they were using the late actor for clout.

Others also expressed concern as random people could freely visit Rico without even asking permission from his family.
They asked Rico’s family to restrict random visitors in the actor’s resting place.
However, some believed that there was nothing wrong if fans, whether from the previous or current generations, visited Rico’s grave.
“Tinatawag nilang weirdo ang pagdalaw at pag yakap sa puntod ni Rico Yan, pinagtatawanan pa ng iba. Ganun naba talaga tayong mga pinoy? Gagawing katawa tawa ang kaligayahan ng iba. As a fan of Rico ganyan din reaction ko nung unang dalaw namin sa puntod nya., iba kasi ang feeling pag napuntahan mo ang puntod nya me halong lungkot at saya,malungkot kasi puntod nalang ang nakkta natin hindi na si Rico,masaya dahil nadalaw natin sya . Nakakababa ba ng pagkatao nyo ang padalaw nila namin sa puntod ni Rico?” a statement from one of Rico’s fanclub read.
“GenZ karamihan ngayon ang naging fans ni Rico kaya sila ganyan ka excited sa pag dalaw sa kanya. Hindi maintindihan ng mga toxic na tao talaga yan , weirdo sa paningin ng mga weirdo din mag isip. Natural lang ang reaction ng ibang dumadalaw dahil now lang din nila nakilala si Rico kahit sa tomb nalang nya ang makkta nila masaya na sila,” they added.
