GMA network statement about Ely Buendia and the fake posts about his death circulating online.
ELY BUENDIA – OPM rock icon and E-heads vocals, Ely Buendia faces fake posts about his death online and GMA-7 has released an official statement.
Ely Eleandre Basiño Buendia or Ely Buendia for short is the vocalist of the famous and iconic OPM rock band Eraserheads. Previously, he shared something controversial about his bandmates which is about their relationship with each other. He revealed that they are not the same as their contemporaries like Itchyworms and Parokya Ni Edgar.
In a previous article, he shared that in reality, he and his bandmates were really not that close and their song “Minsan” is not about them. However, he stressed that they have a good working relationship only that in 2002, they decided to disband when he left 13 years after being with them.
He was criticized for telling the truth that they were never really friends and lambasted those comments that slammed him. Currently, he is the guitarist and singer-songwriter of the band Apartel. He joined the bands such as The Mongols, Pupils, and Oktaves before following E-heads disbanded.
And just recently, not stranger anymore to this kind of issue, Buendia once again faces fake news about his death. This is not his first to encounter such. With the GMA logo being used to spread this false information, the Kapuso network released an official statement and clarified their non-involvement in spreading this fake posts online.
They are not in any way connected to the persons behind this and stressed that they are not responsible for the fake news. The news organization said in their social media post, “GMA News wishes to clarify that it did not produce posts saying that Ely Buendia has died. Links of the posts, which may be spreading on social media and messaging apps, make unauthorized use of the logos of GMA News and Balita Pilipinas.”
GMA urged the people to stop sharing the false details and to instead follow their legit accounts for legit news and updates.
