"To all people, including news outlets like politico.com, who were fooled and rode on the fake story about me, I categorically deny that I called Mindanaoans 'taong bundok'. My mother is from Mindanao. I have friends from there and I have been to Mindanao countless times. I have even performed in Marawi City. I have spent happy times all over the island. The statement, posted on a fake account, is as untrue as saying the Philippine Constitution has more than 200 articles. It is a complete lie.
