Content creator Aaron Maniego has received hate online after netizens accused him of being a clout chaser and refusing to perform in former vice president Leni Robredo’s last election.
After sharing that he’d be appearing in ‘Sparks Camp’, the Philippines’ first-ever BL dating reality show, netizens commented that he was a clout chaser and many more accusations.
For the clout na naman sya?

He was also accused of making fun of the gay community, particularly the “femme” group.
We have a wide variety of lgbtqia+ influencers/celebs. I don’t hate this guy but imo, giving him a wider platform would not be the best idea. I don’t think pretending to be femme and creating content which puts femme people in a very awkward pov helps? Idk, thoughts? https://t.co/39CSTKqml4

Maniego supports Robredo. However, netizens claimed that he rejected an offer to perform in one of her campaigns for fear of getting bashed by BBM supporters.
