Some people apologize after receiving a barrage of remarks like &quot;check your privileges,&quot; while others continue to live in their own bubble.</p><p>Recently, content creator and financial advisor Zac Alviz faced flak online for writing an “insensitive” Facebook post, which has since been deleted.</p><p>His post was: “In moments like this, [doon] mo masasabi na worth it ‘yung condo investments mo. Ang daming binabaha, may tulo sa kisame, lumilipad ‘yung bubong. Pero ‘pag high-quality condo, in most cases, sara mo lang bintana mo, okay ka na. Resume Netflix na ulit.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1753225897129image2 (1).jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Even some of his fellow content creators expressed their disappointment at the Facebook post.</p><p>“Napakaangas mo naman. E ‘di ikaw na naka-condo. Sa susunod nga bago kayo mag-angas sa akin siguro magpa-facial muna kayo,” Rendon Labrador wrote.</p><p>“Paano ko kaya gagamitin ‘tong kasalukuyang pagdurusa ng ibang tao para maiyabang ‘yung maganda kong sitwasyon,” TPC, a podcaster with 1.1 million followers, said. </p><p>The now-deleted post sparked so much backlash online that he had to apologize.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1753225939448image1 (2).jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"/></div><p>“I want to sincerely apologise for what I said in my recent post. It was insensitive and irresponsible, especially given the situation so many are going through right now,” he said.</p><p>&quot;Coming from the bottom myself, growing up in Valenzuela and Malabon, getting soaked in floods at church and school, and doing life alongside people who’ve faced these same hardships, I should’ve known better.”</p><p>Admitting that he often lacks empathy, he added, “I’ve always been self-aware of a flaw I carry. I often lack empathy. Even as a kid, when I saw someone homeless on the street, my first instinct was to ask how they got there instead of simply offering help. My default mindset tends to focus on solutions, often overlooking the feelings and experiences of those around me.”</p><p>“That said, I want to genuinely apologise to anyone I may have hurt or offended. My goal has always been to inspire and motivate others despite my own imperfections. I’m not better than anyone and I never meant to come across as entitled or out of touch,” he said.</p><p>“I’m taking this as a moment of learning. I’ll do better and I’ll be better. I appreciate those who called me out with love and honesty,” he continued. </p><p>“My heart goes out to everyone facing difficult challenges right now. I’m really sorry,” he ended. </p>
