Jake Zyrus introduces himself on social media

Charice Pempengco on Tuesday introduced Jake Zyrus to the world. 

On his Instagram account, Zyrus has replaced all of his previous photos with one that simply states words of appreciation. 

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the love and respect. I love you back and I'm sending peace to everyone," he added as a caption.

The singer has also deleted all of his tweets following the change in his Twitter name and handle.

Below are his first two tweets as Jake Zyrus.

Zyrus first came out about his sexual identity in 2013, amid the controversy surrounding misunderstandings with mother Raquel concerning the changes in his style, living independently, and his relationship with then-girlfriend Alyssa.  —Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA/KVD/AT, GMA News
