- Netizens complained about the large amount of exposure of Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto on GMA News’ Facebook page.
- The page has started posting multiple articles about the loveteam ever since an update about them went viral.
Filipinos are usually passionate when it comes to celebrities they support.
It’s also normal to be a fan of a loveteam that networks, or fans themselves, establish. And because these two people are always together doing shows, commercials, and even concerts, it’s not surprising that they have developed feelings for each other and actually enter a relationship.

One of the real and reel life couples is Jak Roberto and Barbie Forteza. Of course their fans are thrilled and want to hear more and more about them, but recently, netizens have started to complain about the amount of times they’ve seen the loveteam at the page of GMA News.
It started off with a viral post about the couple not planning to give each other a present for Christmas. Facebook users have shared it as not everyone saw it as news-worthy.
The post reached more than 7,000 shares on the social media platform.

This was followed by updates regarding the couple’s every move and decision such as when they decided to just give each other presents, their travel goals, their eagerness to see each other again, and their New Year’s resolution for each other.
Non-fans of the group have began complaining on the exessive amount of exposure the two are getting, especially when every single article is share on the GMA News page.
Others have began suggesting for the network to stop with the Jakbie posts.

While others just decided to unfollow the page instead.
2019 first order of business:
Unfollow GMA Network sa Facebook dahil sa walang tigil na kapunyetahang pagbabalita nila kay Barbie Forteza at Jak Roberto.

Unfollowed GMA network's FB page. Puro Jak Roberto at Barbie Forteza amputa. Kulang nalang pati pag kurap ng dalawa ibalita eh.

This Twitter user just doesn’t know who Jak and Barbie are.

But the questions is, will the network hear out the plea of the netizens?
