"Rest in power, Gold," according to their post.

"For many, Gold is a comedian with crude humor. But for us, he is one of the few people who fought against human rights violationsand indoctrination. Justice for you, Gold. Thank you for your support of Project Jade. Get some rest," they added.

It is known that Gold has received several death threats after he joked about Iglesia ni Cristo. He also makes social commentaries to remind the public about human rights and abuse of power.
