Actress Jessy Mendiola was not happy that some netizens were making content using the late actor Rico Yan.
It can be recalled that there was a current trend where some netizens were filming themselves during their visit to Rico’s resting place, which was open to the public.
However, some fans believed that people were using Rico for clout.
Jessy was one of those people who expressed disappointment with the said content creators.
In her Instagram post, Jessy asked the content creators for respect and let the late actor rest peacefully.
“Wala na ba magawang matino ang mga social media addicts? Konting respeto naman sa namayapa na at pati na rin sa pamilya ng yumao. Susme. Lahat na lang ba para sa likes, followers and views?” said Jessy.
“Nakalimutan na yata ng mga tao ang salitang ‘respeto’. Wala nang decency,” she added.
Rico passed away in 2002, but the actor has been gaining new fans because of social media.
As of writing, Rico’s family has yet to give a statement on the new social media trend involving the late actor.
It can be recalled that before the trend, Rico’s ex-girlfriend, Claudine Barretto also received criticism on social media for speaking about her ex-boyfriend every year and visiting his resting palce.
