A number of netizens are urging veteran journalist Jessica Soho and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray to back out of their arrangements with Nas Academy amid the Whang Od-Nas Daily controversy.

The netizens also asked Soho and Gray to take a stand on the issues.

Gray and Soho are the two most prominent Filipino personalities teaching a course on the Nas Academy online learning platform. 

The netizens are voicing out their concerns on the personalities’ posts associated with Nas Daily and its founder Naseir Yassin.

On Gray’s Instagram post showing a screenshot of the virtual launch of her Nas Academy class, a user commented, “Please investigate what is happening to Whang-Od academy and The Cacao Project.”

“Since you are very vocal on promoting Nas Academy, I hope you’ll be vocal on what is really happening with those two entities. This is important to your culture and I know you would be our best advocate,” one of the commenters said. (READ: The other controversies of Nas Daily’s Nuseir Yassin)
