Jam Magno Voluntarily Turns Herself in to Authorities
JAM MAGNO – The controversial social media personality voluntarily surrendered to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) at the Butuan City Field Unit in connection with three cybercrime charges filed against her. According to Magno, this move was her way of showing respect for and trust in the legal process.
Before the issue could spread widely online, Magno posted a video of her surrender on Facebook Reels. In the video, she appeared composed and camera-ready, wearing makeup, which caught the attention of many viewers. Her calm demeanor, despite the charges, drew mixed reactions from netizens—some admired her confidence, while others remained critical.
After surrendering, Magno was immediately released upon posting bail. She paid ₱24,000 for each charge, amounting to a total of ₱72,000. She did not disclose the names of the individuals who filed the complaints against her, nor the specific reasons behind the accusations. However, she thanked the CIDG personnel for their professional and respectful treatment during her time in custody. In her caption, she wrote: “RELEASED IN PERFECT CONDITION I am so grateful to the CIDG – Butuan City Field Unit for taking care of me when I VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED to your office today. Padayon!!”
Jam Magno has long been a polarizing figure on Philippine social media. Known for her outspoken and often harsh commentary on political and social issues, she is especially recognized for her strong support of former President Rodrigo Duterte. However, she recently drew attention again when she publicly expressed admiration for Duterte but stated she no longer supports his children—further fueling online discussions.
Magno is no stranger to controversy. Her blunt, sometimes sarcastic remarks have repeatedly placed her at the center of public debates. Despite this, her social media presence continues to grow, with every issue she faces seemingly drawing more attention to her platform.
