The Twitterverse responded to the prank, making the hashtag the number one trending topic in the Philippines.
#1 TREND WITHIN JUST AN HOUR :D can't wait what's next at @goodtimes899 @djmotwister @suzy899 @Mia899 http://pic.twitter.com/46xKVVZi
Immediately after the end of the radio show, Mo Twister immediately asked fellow DJ's Tin Gamboa and Mia Bayuga to prepare a letter of apology.
@suzy899 @Mia899 can you draft the apology letter already and email it to me? Thanks loves.
But just two hours after, Pempengco goes on Twitter to express her feelings about the prank.
@djmotwister you are...unbelievable.
@djmotwister too bad. Remember, you interviewed me? I thought you were nice. anyway, I should talk to you FACE TO FACE. :)
Perhaps the most damning statement, Pempengco tweets that she hopes the radio jock has a good lawyer.
@djmotwister I hope you have a good lawyer.
Pempengco's followers welcomed the tweet from the international singing sensation.
@LishaLove1 it's okay. I feel bad for other celebrities too. So, I think it's time. right @djmotwister? :)
It's my birthday tomorrow.. I just can't wait to go back to the Philippines. @djmotwister see ya ;)
Twitterverse was quick to inform Pempengco that the disc jockey is not based in Manila anymore, as he broadcasts from his apartment in New York City.
@rlyneMARIE oh he is? It's okay. we'll see each other for sure.
Fans even asked Pempengco to sue Mo Twister (Mohan Gumatay in real life) in the United States.
@OfficialCharice @djmotwister DJ Mo is in NYC! Sue him here in US!
Pempengco seemed open to the idea.
@BigDogCha @djmotwister Yep! It's even better he's in the US.
As of 4:28pm today, the tweets have been erased from Pempengco's timeline.
Immediately after Pempengco's barrage of tweets, Magic 89.9 (Quest Broadcasting Incorporated) released an official statement announcing that the three radio jocks will be suspended for two weeks without pay for their actions.

Mo Twister also issued a personal apology after Charice's tweets were posted on the microblogging site.
I want to take the opportunity to apologize to Charice for a stupid & cruel joke on our show today. We attempted to be funny at her--
--expense and, in the process, hurt her feelings. It’s with deep regret that we have come to learn that. On behalf of @suzy899 and @mia899-
--we apologize Charice for our stupid behavior and immature attempt to generate laughs. You have worked so very hard, not just for yourself-
-and your family, but to put our country in a positive light, to promote immense Filipino talent, and you have done that successfully.-
--We are proud of you and we are embarrassed because we failed to support that. I wish I could make it up to you and rest assured-
--that we will exhaust every avenue to do so. We are sorry. You’ve been nothing but supportive of our show in the past. We failed to show-
--failed to show our appreciation today. @OfficialCharice
