After receiving a lot of bashing on her viral post questioning celebrities calling for mass testing, comedienne Gladys Guevarra posted a smiling picture of herself with an appeal to stop the attacks.
“Sending this smile to everyone 😊 Tama na yan. Wag na kayo magalit, wala na away away. Para wala stress. Peace na lahat. Hereβs a goodnight smile para sa inyong lahat.”
“Magkakaiba man opinyon natin, pare-pareho lang tayo walang gusto ma -harm. Mali lang siguro mga pagkakaintindi natin. Peace to you all! Tuloy natin lahat ang laban, sa pakikipag tuos sa laban ng buhay. ✌🏻”
Netizens didn’t buy her smiling photo with some telling her that she never understood the importance of mass testing.

Gladys had questioned why celebrities were encouraging the government to carry out mass testing in the country. She asked what was the use of mass testing while a vaccine for COVID-19 has yet to be developed.
βAno ba kase ang magagawa rin ng Mass testing? Matanong ko lang. eh kahit mag Mass testing, kung wala pa naiimbentong Vaccine, ano gagawin? Isusupot yung mga infected?β
For Gueverra, Mass Testing will only result in loss of funds for the government, which could be used instead to help those in need. (As of this writing, the viral post has been deleted.)
βAt pag nagpa MASS TESTING, maglalabas ulit ng malaking halaga ang gobyerno para sa kits? At maghihintay tayo ng matagal sa results?”
“Imbes na yang pondo nakakatulong ngayon sa pagkain sa pangkalahatan, lalo mas mga nangangailangan? Diba? Gets nyo? Ako di ko gets. Kaya ko i-gets, pero parang d ko ma-gets. Gets?β
