Philippine President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has spoken out forcefully against controversial Russian-American streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, following the vlogger's arrest for his disruptive antics around Metro Manila. Marcos' remarks, delivered through his official YouTube vlog, reflect growing public frustration towards nuisance streamers who create content by provoking or harassing unsuspecting individuals—often for the sake of going viral.
Zdorovetskiy, best known for his pranks and Kick live streams, is facing mounting criticism after several clips circulated online of him mocking and intimidating ordinary Filipinos. In one such incident, he jokingly threatened to rob an elderly woman at Bonifacio Global City. In another, he harassed mall security and even attempted to ride away on a stranger's motorcycle. His behaviour, filmed and uploaded for entertainment, has now prompted both legal action and strong condemnation from the highest levels of government.
