"Gusto ko lang po linawin na hindi sa akin galing ang mga salitang nasa picture," he said in a post.

He went on to say that the meme has existed for a while, and resurfaced recently.

"Doon po sa gumawa nito, paki-delete at wag po sana gamitin ang kung sino man na hindi naman talaga nagsabi niyan. Mag-ingat po tayo sa fake news. Salamat po," he added.

He also used the hashtag #MaramingNamamataySaAkala.
