Internet sensation Sassa Gurl reminded fellow influencers to be responsible for using social media platforms to promote their content.
The 26-year-old “Pambansang Mhiema” aired a “public service announcement” in her latest TikTok video about the weight of their responsibilities on social media.

“Meron lang po akong ‘onting panawagan sa mga Filipino content creators. Lagi po nating tatandaan na ang popularity na meron po tayo ngayon is utang po natin sa mga Filipino audiences na sumuporta sa atin,” Sassa started.
She emphasized, “Napaka-makapangyarihan niyan kaya responsable po natin dapat gagamitin ang ating platform.”
The “Maria Hiwaga” singer warned about betraying the trust of their viewers, “Kaya ‘wag na ‘wag nating tatraydurin ang mga nanonood sa atin sa pagkakalat ng fake news at false information.”
“Kung may time po tayong mag-setup ng ilaw at mga kung ano-anong background, dapat may time din po tayo na mag-research sa mga bagay-bagay na ating ipo-promote,” she added.
It seemed that Sassa’s pieces of advice were timely made amidst the current controversy surrounding former beauty queen Maggie Wilson and the “coordinated online attacks” against her and her company ACASA MNL that were allegedly done by TikTok influencers in exchange for money.
Sassa Gurl, whose real name is Felix Petate, gained TikTok recognition in 2020 for her skits and comedic parodies relating to Filipino culture. She is the first-ever openly queer calendar model for a whiskey brand’s 2022 calendar.
