Pumped Viral Rapper Fred D' Germ Leaves Filipinos Shocked with Newest Single on Filipino Dirty Habits

Safeguard responds to Fred D’ Germ in the most satisfying way possible. 

Just days after the 2020 Philippines Handwashing Habits Survey* revealed that only 50% of Filipinos are  washing their hands properly, an online ‘influenza’ named Fred D’ Germ has been making rounds on social  media — promoting improper handwashing, or the lack thereof of proper safe wash habits.

Acting like an online ‘influenzaaa’, Fred D’ Germ’s online presence started out with him posting memes  within the context of improper handwashing. His social media accounts were seen leaving comments, and  trolling local celebrities and influencers like Anne Curtis, Jolina Magdangal, Karla Estrada, Melai  Cantiveros-Francisco, and Rufa Mae Quinto to not bother washing their hands and just wipe it off. Fred D’  Germ also hacked Safeguard Philippines’ social media accounts and posted a photo of him holding a  newspaper with the headline ’50% of Filipinos Don’t Know How to Wash Hands’, expressing approval of  this alarming survey result. Not only this, but his video introduction on Facebook where he can be seen  doing a dance trend popularized by Mimiyuuuh has already amassed a total of forty-five thousand reactions  with 2.6 million views.
