PUYAT NA ULIT: Makati Mayor Orders Removal of 'Gil Tulog' Signages, Apologizes


The viral "Gil Tulog" road signs that replaced the original "Gil Puyat" markings were swiftly removed, Makati Mayor Abby Binay announced Friday.



Binay clarified that her office never received a permit request for the advertising campaign, adding that she would have denied it if it had.

According to Binay, the city officials who issued the permit “should have exercised prudence.”

“Dapat inisip ang kaguluhan na maaaring idulot sa mga motorista at komyuter. At dapat ay binigyang halaga ang respeto sa pamilya at sa alaala ni dating Senate President Gil Puyat. I have already reprimanded these officials for this glaring oversight,” she said in a statement.




“Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa ating mga kababayan at sa pamilya ni dating Senate President Puyat (I apologize to our countrymen and the family of former Senate President Puyat). These signs have been taken down on my instruction,” she also said.



The Gil Puyat sign was unexpectedly changed to “Gil Tulog,” apparently for a marketing push, and social media users were stoked by the odd shift.


While some found humor in the alteration, many netizens also pointed out that road signs should be respected, finding the modification “disrespectful.”

“That Gil Tulog stunt is stupid, distasteful, and illegal. Take that down,” a netizen wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
