Viva artist Christine Li has refuted online claims that she is the “girlfriend” of former Ilocos Sur Gov. Chavit Singson.
The actress on Monday, April 20, posted a video denying that she was the woman seen sitting beside the former politician in a shared table arrangement.
The video showed an unidentified woman sitting beside Chavit and appearing to hold his hand under the table.

Online posts also circulated showing Christine’s photo juxtaposed with Chavit Singson’s, implying that she is his “girlfriend.”
The actress saw the posts and denied the claims in a video.
“That’s not me,” she said. She also played back the video and added, “Nope. Still not me.”
Christine then said she has “never met Chavit Singson” in her life.
“I don’t know him personally, but I know his son, whom I reached out to, kasi baka matulungan niya ako dito sa issue na ‘to,” she said.
The actress also shared a glimpse of her conversation with Chavit’s son, who expressed shock over claims linking her to his father.
Christine said she is a “victim of fake news” and appealed to the public to refrain from believing everything they see online.
“Please stop spreading misinformation about people,” she said, adding that she does not want to go out in public at the moment following the claims.
“I can’t even defend myself because it’s been posted anonymously. It’s so unfair, guys,” the actress added.
Christine also shared her “frustration” over gossip being spread on social media instead of being used to build communities in a positive way.
“Minsan na nga lang ako mabalita, ganito pa!” she quipped.
