Joyce Tan Custodio, girlfriend of Michael Pacquiao, has spoken up amid the renewed online buzz about their age gap—addressing the issue head-on with honesty, humor, and a call for calm.

In a recent social media post, Joyce acknowledged being overwhelmed by messages as videos and gossip continue to circulate online. Rather than engaging in heated exchanges, she reminded both followers and critics to take what they see on social media with caution.

“Guys sa mga nakaka panuod ng reels/chicka videos ang cute niyo mas affected pa kayo sakin sa nababasa/napapanuod niyo na minsan halos maling information na nalabas sa news.” she wrote, pointing out how easily misinformation spreads.

Joyce is no stranger to public attention. Before being linked to Michael Pacquiao, she was known in celebrity circles as a former stylist of Michael’s mother, Jinkee Pacquiao. Her past work in fashion and proximity to the Pacquiao family have added another layer of public curiosity—something that has only intensified scrutiny of her personal life.

Michael Pacquiao, the son of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, has been steadily carving out his own path as a musician and athlete. As his public profile grows, so does interest in his relationships, often inviting unsolicited opinions from netizens.

Despite the noise, Joyce made it clear that she remains unfazed. She shared that she and Michael have grown accustomed to public judgment and would rather see people focus their energy on more positive pursuits.

“P.s. Don't worry sanay na kame,magpayaman nalang kayo kesa magaway away kayo sa comment section🤭🙏🏽”

Closing her message on a reflective note, Joyce reminded everyone about kindness, faith, and perspective—emphasizing that, in the end, online opinions don’t define real life.
