Yulo clarified, though, that he tweeted the screenshots out of excitement as fans started shipping the two icons as Bautista came out as bisexual in 2018.
"It saddens me to see tweets about @iammarkbautista because of my tweet out of excitement. Kindness, message of encouragement and appreciation is not a sign of flirting. Let’s focus on #SeaGames2019 and winning as One," Yulo tweeted later.
