The videographer and content creator who went viral on social media after discovering that internet celebrity Whamos Cruz used his clips without permission took a swipe against someone.
It can be recalled that Whamos’ “Piliin Mo Ang Pilipinas” was well-received by netizens, but everything changed when content creator Jak Seventy-Three made a video to point out his recorded clips the internet celebrity used without his permission.
Instead of apologizing, Whamos insisted that his editor was the one at fault and also tried to justify that he used the clips to promote patriotism.
“Hindi po ako ‘yung nag-install ng video na ‘yun. Ang nag-install po nung video na ‘yun sa entry ko is ‘yung editor ko….Ako na po ‘yung humihingi ng pasensya sa editor ko sa nangyari,” he said.
“Ginamit naman po ‘yun sa tamang paraan, hindi naman po sa maling paraan, hindi naman po sa pangit na video ‘yung pinasukan nung video niyo po,” he added.
Several hours after Whamos released his explanation, Jak took a swipe against Whamos.
“Good morning sa lahat ng mga Editors, Travel Enthusiasts and passionate Content Creators, except sa isa dyan,” he stated.
Fans of Jak urged him to make Whamos accountable for grabbing his footage.
“Waiting po kung anong isasagot ninyo sa statement ng isang content creator, many will be disappointed if you don’t sue him,” netizen Zydee said.
“Papanindigan nyang ikaw din kumuha, eh sa malamang kumita na sya don eh. Bakit pa tatanggalin hahaha,” netizen Chinito remarked.
