The post – which has alarmingly gathered over 80,000 Facebook reactions and over 700 shares – includes a photo of the couple with a supposed quote from Domingo that reads: “Sobrang sakit! Ilang buwan ko na lang siya makakasama.” (It is really painful! She only has a few months to live.)

“I don’t use Facebook so I don’t see posts like these but thanks to people for sharing to me. Probably why people would ask me if I’m OK,” she said.

Pineda has been diagnosed with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness, inflammation and a skin rash. Domingo and Pineda first revealed this in August 2023 while they were preparing for their wedding.

The couple got engaged in 2022, then tied the knot in January 2024.
