WEEKS into his temporary liberty, controversial actor Vhong Navarro finally broke his social media hiatus. 

On Facebook and Instagram, the actor posted photos of him with his family accompanied by a message of gratitude for all the prayers for him, and a holiday greetings to all his supporters. 

Navarro, an original member of the dance group the Streetboys, has also returned to Tiktok.

On the respective Tiktok entries of his fellow dancemates, Navarro made a surprise number  at the tail end. 

In Nicko Manalo’s “As it was” dance entry with Meynard Marcellano, Joey Andres and Christo Cruz, Navarro showed up as the dance concluded. 

In another entry by Manalo where they danced to the pop hit “Me & You” by Cassie, Navarro threw confetti.
