True Faith frontman Medwin Marfil quipped by inquiring if Richard Gomez designed the stage for the UniTeam’s Tacloban Rally on April 9.
Medwin took to twitter to share a photo of the UniTeam’s stage.
In his tweet, Medwin asked if Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez was the brains behind the phallic designed stage runway at the Leyte Sports Center in Tacloban.
“Si Richard ba ang nag design ng stage ng rally ng Baby M fanz kagabi sa Tacloban? Asking for an artist friend ”

Tweets of Medwin and Dionne referenced Richard’s controversial painting in 2019.
Gomez previously went viral over his yellow phallus painting exhibited at the Manila Art 2019.

Last 2018, Gomez's painting of a male genital was also quite the talk in the art world and in social media.

Netizens were aghast at why a simple painting of a yellow dick would cost 196K.
Several art-loving netizens even called it upfront to legitimate artists who have far more meaningful artworks but are not getting much-needed attention.
Medwin and this band meanwhile are certified Kakampinks.
Since the start of the campaign, the band has volunteered several times to join VP Leni and Sen. Kiko’s people’s rallies.
When issues about paid Uniteam rally performers came to light, Medwin was one of the first to reveal hefty offers to perform in their rallies.
“Not believable. Kahit na nag-declare na kami na #KakamPink ang #Truefaith we’re still being offered to play sa for Baby M. When we were in Borongan, our manager got a call asking if we’d play for Unitik-tik. Pang 4 na ata na offer yun. We refused, of course. May bayad powh.”
Not believable.
