“Off to Danao City” read Roy Castillo’s status update, and while we’re guessing a number of people didn’t see it or weren’t “friends” with “him,” those that did see this post on their Facebook homepage were wondering, “Who the f*** is Roy Castillo?

Wednesday, at about the same time Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg’s fan page was hacked, hundreds, if not thousands of people began seeing Roy Castillo’s status update in their news feed.

Though no one is sure the two incidents were related, it seems like a mighty big coincidence.

While some Facebook users began to panic when they realized they could not remove Castillo from their friends list, others found the new drifter hilarious.

ImageA Facebook fan page entitled, “Roy Castillo WTF” was even created, and the online hisses and boos flooded the comment sections.

What should be mentioned is the fact that, while name is male, the photo associated with the profile is pretty obviously a female. There has been some speculation over whether the girl in the photo is Filipino (Danao City is in the Philippines) or Latino, since the girl’s face is partially covered by black “shutter shades,” but no matter his or her ethnicity, Roy has certainly left his/her mark on the Facebook community.

Now that the mysterious Roy has either been removed and/or left, inquisitive minds want to know, “Did Roy ever make it to Danao City?”
