Content creator Tito Mars raised the eyebrows of the netizens again after he made a video about his ‘first’ ride on a jeepney.
In a video, Tito Mars recorded himself riding a jeepney, saying he was nervous because it was his first time using public transportation.
He was also asking the driver if they’re accepting cards as a payment.
“Kuya tumatanggap ba kayo ng card o kaya ng g-cash?” said Tito Mars.
“Hala, barya lang pala bayad dito,” he added.
Fortunately, Tito Mars had a 20 peso in his pocket.
“Buti nalang pala talaga madali lang magbayad sa jeep,” he said.
While e-wallets were not often accepted in traditional jeepneys, several modern versions already accept modern forms of payment, like reloadable beep cards.
The post received mixed reactions from the netizens.
“Next time naman na icontent mo Tito Mars eh sumakay ka sa padjak at tric. Tas mag inarte ka sa video. Yung pinaka OA para gigil na gigil yung nga apektado ng content mo hehehe,” netizen Heart said.
“He did a great job annoying people on social media by doing these kinds of things. Strategy for more views, more comments, more money!” netizen Marchita commented.
“Niyakap na ni tito mars yung toxic engagement sa soc med, nilamon na to ng views and pera. for the views and for the pera talaga, tinanggalan ng dignidad ang sarili, ginawang katawa-tawa kahit hindi naman siya ganon irl… para lang sa pera. gets ko naman yung ginagawa ni tito mars kasi more hate more views,” netizen Aldrin remarked.
