SINGER-composer Jim Paredes of Apo Hiking Society became social media’s newest sensation on Monday with an allegedly leaked sex video going viral.
A known Duterte critic of the Liberal Party popularly called “Dilawan,” Paredes’ five-minute video first hit the Internet on Sunday, according to various blogs and media outfits.
Despite his claim that the video is fake, however, netizens were quick to show screenshots of the video showing the same moles and tattoos Paredes has always had, some even zooming in on a ring he is always seen wearing in clips for TV, news and other social media uploads.
Pro-Duterte blogger and social media influencer Thinking Pinoy a.k.a. RJ Nieto quoted what Paredes posted on his blog 10 years ago in 2009: “I just could not feel anything good about watching colleagues in showbiz… being humiliated by voyeurism. Sure, there are millions who have probably seen them, and what further damage could my watching the videos do, I asked myself. I couldn’t possibly make the situation worse by watching. I thought by way of justification.”
The pro-Duterte blogger ended, “Ten years later, Jim Paredes made Thinking Pinoy want to bleach his eyes,” quoting, “Source: Paredes, Jim. ‘Those sex videos and us.’ JimParedes.com. 30 May 2009. http://bit.ly/JimParedes.”
Facebook and Twitter users continued to have a field day as of posting time regarding the sex video, while Paredes’ fellow “dilawan” coming to his defense.
@trendingpolls said, “Sana nga April Fools lang ito! The circulating scandal video or photo looked exactly like Jim Paredes! Why did he do that?”
@CIRE41 wrote, “Yung sex video ni Jim Paredes ay audition piece pala sa role na Mang Kanor.”
@joyceching654: “Nakakaloka si Jim Paredes. Akala ko ba disente ka, eh bakit may pa-sex video ka ngayon, ganyan ba ang #DisentengDilawan?
@favradio: “OMG hindi lang pala si De Lima ang may #scandal pati rin pala si Look at Me? ‘Jim Paredes Gurang Scandal’ Panoorin.”
@bae_warden: “If the Jim Paredes sex tape isn’t in fact an elaborate April Fools’ prank, friendly reminder that the violation here isn’t that he made a video meant to be private, but that someone may have invaded his privacy and uploaded something that wasn’t theirs to upload.”
@benign0: “As of this writing [Monday, 4:26 p.m.] Jim Paredes has not posted any new tweets (other than one unrelated one) in the last nine hours since he tweeted ‘fake’ in response to that Netizen’s query [@AllforMinhyun: ‘But your sex video is not fake news, right? Ooops!!!! #Disente.’” to which the same netizen followed it up with, “He is silent on his own DIRTY SIDE. #Disente want me to share your article way back in 2009? Oooops. This is not April Fools. Mark this day as another nightmare for you.”
