The harassment, which has included spreading personal information about the student organization's officers, has prompted the university student council and college student councils of UP Visayas to issue a unity statement condemning the online attacks against college students who performed at a school event. 'Charot'Included in that portion of the performance is a line "Let's kill this president charot" done with movements inspired by K-pop group Blackpink's "Kill This Love." "The line's satirical nature did not sit well with Duterte supporters as they took their threats and harassment to Facebook and launched different attacks against Skimmers and its cheerers," the student council said. It said some online accounts also "publicized some personal information of the Skimmers governor and Skimmers adviser, making them a target." Organizations within UPV have also issued their own statements of support for Skimmers while social media users have also voiced support on Twitter through the hashtag #HandsOffSkimmers.
