The rider who went viral on social media after doing a dangerous motorcycle stunt along the Marilaque Highway in Rizal finally ended his silence amid the criticism he was receiving.
In his post, Recs Akmad refused to apologize for his actions, saying that the criticism he was receiving on social media would only increase his views.
“Thank you sa mga basher, dumami views ko,” Akmad said.
In another post, Akmad said that he was not affected by the criticism he received because most people didn’t know the whole story of the incident, even if the whole scene was recorded and publicized on social media.
“Ubusin nyo na lahat ng pang bash nyo wala naman kayong ambag sa buhay ko hindi nyo naman alam ang tunay na nang yare kaya ubusin niyo na pang bash niyo,” he said.
It can be recalled that Akmad was one of the motorcycle riders who performed the ‘Superman stunt’ while speeding along Marilaque.
The video published on social media showed that Akmad remained in his Superman position despite the sharp curve approaching.
Meanwhile, his colleague, Moto Vlogger John Louie “Motopush” Arguelles, was sideswiped by Akmad, resulting in them ramming the road barrier and some tourists resting in the area.
Arguelles passed away after several attempts to be treated.
Akmad was reportedly facing multiple charges for the outcome of his stunt.
Netizens were disappointed by Akmad’s unapologetic behavior.
“Imbes na humingi ka ng paumanhin at nag pakumbaba, pinairal mo pa pride mo. Kung sinabi mo sana na wag kang tularan sa pagiging bida bida at inamin ang pagkakamali mo, baka maaring matanggap ka pa ng iba. Hindi ka mababash kung hindi mo ginawa yon,” a netizen said.
“Ibig sabihin po ba nun ay edited lang po yung viral vids nyo sa manukan? Linawin nyo po yung tunay na nangyari, baka nahihibang po kaming lahat,” another netizen commented.
