<p>Veteran actor Mon Confiado took to social media on Friday Morning, August 9, to call out a Facebook troll who used his name and image in a fake story.</p><p>The now-deleted post by the Facebook page “Ileiad” falsely claimed that Mon had an unpleasant encounter with a fan in a grocery store in Marikina, where he allegedly refused to pay for 15 chocolate bars and berated the cashier.</p><p>Mon, known for his roles in various films and television shows, was understandably upset by the post, which was intended as a “joke” but quickly spread across social media.</p><p>In a Facebook post, he expressed his frustration, stating, “Ayoko na sana patulan itong certain Ileiad na ito… pero tama pa ba ang ginagawa ng mga content creator na ito? Gumawa ng story using my name &amp; my photo…”</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmconfiado%2Fposts%2Fpfbid08UeD4KfXCtCUxZBmAWFH85bZg2ckAkHbWiHigx2nrGqrh4iU8JsF8Pz2TsUUZiivl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>He went on to describe the fake story, which accused him of inappropriate behavior, including pointing a finger in a fan’s face and stealing candy bars. The post, which Mon noted was later edited to include a “disclaimer” after the creator claimed it was a joke and a &quot;copypasta,&quot; continued to circulate online, prompting confusion and concern among those who believed it to be true.</p><p>In his post, Mon questioned the ethics of such content creators, saying, “Bakit ka magjo joke sa&#x27;kin? Close ba tayo? Parang sobra na itong mga ito ah at para makakuha lang ng mga likes kahit makasagasa sila ng tao. Tapos sasabihin Joke.” He emphasized that the incident never happened and that he is not the kind of person being portrayed in the post.</p><p>Copypasta, a common internet phenomenon where blocks of text are copied and pasted across social media, is often used to provoke reactions or for humor. However, Mon was quick to point out that not everyone would understand this, especially when his reputation was at stake. “This is not funny! You are ruining my name kahit ‘Copypasta’ ito! Not everyone will understand this,” he commented.</p><p>In a conversation shared by Mon, Ileiad apologized, stating, “It’s not my intention to tarnish your image in anyway.” However, Mon remained firm, criticizing the page for using him as the butt of the joke and refusing to take down the post. He concluded the exchange by indicating his intention to take legal action.</p><p>Support for Mon flooded the comments section of his post, with many netizens urging him to pursue legal action.</p><p>One commenter advised, “I think it’s better you do not engage comments with the person any more. If you’re planning to sue him, just do it. The more you exchange conversations with him, he will just bait you to say something that will make you look bad. Ganyan ang mga gawain nila. Teach him a lesson.</p><p>Another netizen echoed the sentiment, writing, “Kasuhan mo bro. Para matuto. At para hindi tularan ng iba. Defamation of Character yan. Very malicious ang intent.” The majority of comments also called for a mass report of the page, criticizing it as worthless and damaging.</p><div><br/></div><p>— by Samantha Prats</p>
