Joey Marquez Got Victimized by Death Hoax 2 Times on Social Media
JOEY MARQUEZ – The veteran actor and comedian reacts to fake news spreaders after got victimized by a death hoax two (2) times.
Joey reveals his feelings after getting killed twice on social media on talent manager Ogie Diaz’s interview. According to the comedian who said it was a hoax, videos claiming he was already deceased have gone viral on YouTube.
“Tsong, buhay ka pala,” Ogie joked to Joey. Patay ka na akala ko.” The actor recalls his last false death, which was reportedly caused by a heart attack, and now there are allegations that he died of diabetes.
“Dalawang beses na nga akong namatay, eh. Inatake raw ako noong una. Ngayon naman diabetes raw. Ano kaya ang susunod?” the actor said.
Ogie predicted that the word of his death would be spread three times. However, the comic remarked that the third death announcement may no longer be a hoax. He went on to say that because he had reportedly passed away, calls from his wife’s friends and relatives came in.
“Noong una tong lumabas, lahat ng kamag-anak ko tumawag. Tapos nung tumawag, tinatanog ako kung kumusta na ako. Sabi ko, ‘eh di buhay pa. Kausap n’yo ko eh’. Akala daw nila namatay na raw ako,” he shared.
“Pangalawa naman sa mga kaibigan ni Malou (asawa no Tsong Joey). Nagwo-worry sa kaniya at tinatanong kung kumusta na raw ako. Kino-console siya, kung okay lang siya, kung kaya niya. Sabi niya ‘bakit?’, ‘eh hindi ba nagka-diabetes si Tsong, nasa hospital’,” he said.

The actor was also surprised by a delivery boy who had heard on the internet that he was in the hospital and dead. He also said that his son Vito called and joked about dying twice, and that he and his father just laughed.
Joey urges to the spreaders of fake news to end the death hoax against some celebrities and to stop profiteering from such misinformation. He said that he can persuade people to do whatever it needed to build something without actually making anything.
Regardless of what occurred, the actor benefited from it. Joey stated that the phony news was beneficial to him because he now knows who will truly care for him when he passes away.
“Ito nga ‘yug pinakamaganda sa lahat, eh. ‘Yung di ka pa patay alam mo na kung sino at ilan ang nagmamahal sa ‘yo. Kasi karaniwan kung kailan ka namatay tsaka lang sasabihin na mahal ka, tsaka lang sasabihin na concern siya. Sabi ko, ‘sa bagay mas maganda ‘to kasi ngayon pa lamang, alam ko na kung sino ‘yung nagmamahal sa akin na buhay pa ako,” Tsong Joey said sincerely.
Those that spread bogus news, on the other hand, should follow Ogie’s advice and “don’t murder people to gain money.” Also, don’t believe everything you see on the internet; instead, use trusted sources and news outlets.
