Jayvee Ayen’s valedictory address gained mileage on social media after several users noted
that his speech shared a similar introduction and theme to the 2019 valedictory address of a Far
Eastern University graduate.
The most recent photo that Solis claimed to be his won the top prize in the Smiles for the
World photo contest conceptualized by Chilean Ambassador Roberto Mayorga.
It came under intense scrutiny on social networks on Sunday after the real owner of the photograph,
Gregory John Smith, revealed how “an impostor… abused my copyright.”
Solis submitted a photo of a boy whom he said was named Nilo and was from Zamboanga City. The
caption stated that the boy helped his father farm seaweed.
During Chile’s National Day on Wednesday, September 18, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines,
Solis was awarded $1,000 and roundtrip tickets to Chile and Brazil.
Smith, a social entrepreneur, said the photo belonged to the Children at Risk Foundation, which he
founded. The child in the photo was from Brazil, not Zamboanga City, he said.
Smith posted a comment on a recent feature article on the ambassador claiming ownership of the photo.
