Maiqui Pineda calls out post falsely claiming her days are numbered amid autoimmune disease battle
Maiqui Pineda, the wife of television personality Robi Domingo, called out a malicious post falsely claiming her days are numbered amid her battle with an autoimmune disease.
In a now-expired Instagram story, Pineda shared a screenshot of a Facebook post from a certain page called Pinoy Spotlight that includes a selfie of her and Domingo, as well as a solo photo of him teary-eyed.
There's also a fake quote from Domingo that read, “Sobrang sakit! Ilang buwan ko na lang siya makakasama.”
The fake post also had the caption, "Robi Domingo nagsalita na! Inaming may taning na ang buhay ng kanyang asawa!"
Pineda, in a text caption, asked the public to help report the page "for false information on health."
"I don't use Facebook so I don't see posts like these," she said, "but thanks to people for sharing [it] to me. Probably why people would ask me if I'm ok.”
“I only share here [on Instagram] since I've built a good relationship with a lot of people who follow and message me. You guys know me best," she added.
Pineda was diagnosed with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness, inflammation, and skin rash, in August 2023.
She and Domingo were college batchmates at the Ateneo de Manila University. They confirmed their romance in 2018 and announced their engagement four years later.
The couple got married last January.
