A disgusting zero points were earned by the two Filipino divers after they both landed on the pool with their back hitting the water which splashed off the liquid to the judges. Their failed attempts happened on Dive 4 with a difficulty level of 3.

On social media, netizens are making fun of the video which contains the embarrassing performance of the two Filipino divers in SEA games competition. John David Pahoyo earned most of the negative criticisms because he was ranked 8th in the result while John Elmerson Fabriga was a 7th placer.
