Danzel Fernandez Faces Online Backlash for Opulent Lifestyle on Social Media
Laguna, Philippines – Danzel Fernandez, the son of actor-politician Dan Fernandez, has joined a growing list of political scions facing scrutiny for sharing glimpses of a lavish lifestyle on social media. As a board member of Laguna’s first district, Danzel has attracted both followers and critics since ramping up his online presence during the pandemic in March 2020. He boasts over 38,800 followers on Instagram, 118,000 on Facebook, and 54,000 on TikTok.
His social media accounts document his role in public office while showcasing his personal life. Recently, a video tour of a luxurious rest house in Batangas went viral, prompting comments that questioned the source of such wealth. One user remarked, "naol may rest house at private helicopter," highlighting public sentiments regarding entitlement among political families.
Another clip surfaced featuring Danzel and a sibling arriving via helicopter, allegedly arranged by their father. This, too, fueled online controversy, especially amid ongoing discussions about public servants’ extravagance during periods of economic strain.
Danzel has been in public office since 2022, following in his father’s political footsteps. Dan Fernandez has a long-standing career in public service, having held multiple positions, including a representative role and mayor of Santa Rosa City.
The backlash against Danzel comes at a time when citizens are increasingly demanding transparency and accountability from public officials and their families. Recent controversies surrounding flood-control projects have intensified scrutiny on those connected to government contracts, despite no direct links reported between Dan Fernandez and alleged corrupt practices.
As public critiques grow louder, neither Danzel nor his father have publicly addressed the social media backlash, leaving followers and critics alike awaiting a response.
