Viy Cortez Reacts to the Issue of Someone Giving 50M to a Senatorial Candidate
Social media personality and businessman Viy Cortez has strongly denied the blind item that emerged about a well-known social media personality couple who were allegedly paid ₱50 million by a senatorial aspirant to campaign in the upcoming elections.

In a Facebook post released by Viy on February 2, Viy corrected this statement, and spoke strongly about this issue. According to Viy, if what was said in the blind item was true, he would not have helped in a business like selling intimate washes for men and women.

In his post, he said, “Shutakkayo what 50M are you talking about HAHAHAHAHA would I still sell kipay and ratbu washes if someone gave me that,” emphasizing his disbelief in the allegation.

Viy added that he gave a funny statement to those who continue to spread such blind items, and joked, “Buy now so you don’t get angry and it will come true HAHA.” He answered this with a pleasant tone, as well as showing humor in the midst of the controversy. Viy chose to laugh rather than sulk at the gossip circulating on social media.

This issue spread in 2024, when a post by senatorial candidate Camille Villar appeared on her Facebook page, where Viy Cortez was seen with her in a supermarket owned by the Villar family. Many netizens gave their reactions and comments about the photo and the subsequent stories. When the public saw their photo, Viy’s connection to the Villars also became a topic of conversation, so speculations began that Viy was involved in the political aspect of the Villar family.

Due to the spread of stories and blind items, Viy gave a personal response to the speculations and stories about him. He chose to speak out to clarify the issue and defend his name. Despite being a well-known personality on social media, it is clear that he did not hesitate to speak out and give his opinion to maintain his integrity and name. According to Viy, he is not affected by the false or false allegations against him and his business.

Aside from Viy’s statements, reactions from netizens regarding the controversial blind item have not subsided. Many of them have given their opinions, and some have paid tribute to Viy for being brave and not afraid to speak out against false information. Meanwhile, some have also continued to spread rumors that spread false details, so the conversation about this issue continues on social media platforms.

This issue has become a good example of how social media and blind items can have a huge impact on public personalities, and how they have chosen to defend their names in the face of false accusations.
