Kapamilya newscaster Bernadette Sembrano said that the video circulating on social media where it can be heard that someone farted in the middle of their closing spiel.
However, Sembrano said the videos were altered and someone only added a farting sound effect to make it look like one of them passed gas during the show.
“Natawa kaming apat sa video but At the same time — mapapaisip ka rin kung gaano kabilis kumalat ang mga maling balita.” Sembrano wrote.
In the said vlog, she interviewed some people working for TV Patrol and said that the reason why they laughed was because of a ‘private joke’.
“Private joke,” Henry Omaga-Diaz said.
“Tumawa kasi si Karen [Davila] Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya tapos humagikgik na,” former Vice President Noli de Castro stated.
Some netizens shared the edited videos which already reached millions of views online.
Sembrano also said that their closing spiel was their only opportunity to let loose after their stressful newscasting.
“The extro spiel of our newscast is the only time we let loose. Ang bigat na nga ng balita- pero Pinoy nga tayo kasi kaya pa nating tumawa kahit ang bigat ng problema.” she said.
“Ayan alam na ninyo ha ! Bungisngis ang anchors ninyo ! Thank You too For All your Support sa abscbn News!” she added.
