PRO-SURFER Philmar Alipayo has reached a new social media milestone, surpassing one million followers on Facebook—thanks to both his supporters and critics.
Philmar shared the news on his account, expressing gratitude for those who have followed his journey.
“Salamat karajaw naka abot nata sa 1M. Ma pasalamaton ako karajaw sa mga nag-supporta sanan nag-sobaybay sa ako, padajon rata gihapon,” he wrote. (Thank you so much for helping us reach 1 million! I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and followed me. We’ll keep going.)
Some followers admitted they only hit the follow button to keep up with the controversy involving his fiancée Andi Eigenmann and best friend Pernilla Sjoo.
Philmar, unfazed, had a simple reply: “Salamat kay isa ka sa nag mahal nako.” (Thank you because you are one of those who love me.)
