In the second video, Villafuerte and the group, now joined by Yassi, are seen speeding across the water. The Twitter/X user concludes his thread with a request for help and refrains from blaming other parties:
“I encourage everyone in this post to refrain from blaming my fellow Bicolanos. We need assistance right now. Instead, focus on holding the elected officials accountable and ensuring they fulfill their duties to their constituents who badly need help.”

One user even highlighted the time when Vice President Sara Duterte fled the country with her family when Typhoon Carina made landfall.
In related news, Luis Raymund Villafuerte, Luigi’s father, denies claims of being stranded in Siargao.
“Ngayon panahon ng kalamidad, dapat lahat nagtutulungan at nagkakaisa. Pero ang mga desperado at sinungaling na kalaban namin nagkakalat ng fake news,” Luis stated.
According to Luis, the posts being spread throughout social media were from a previous event before the storm.
