In another tweet, he encouraged others to love one another.
Jake's tweets elicited different reactions from netizens.

On the other hand, here are some of netizens' less-enthusiastic tweets to Jake's posts.
The 25-year-old singer publicly announced his change of name—from Charice to Jake Zyrus—last June via social media.
Jake also declared in his interviews that he is open to undergoing gender reassignment in the future.
