JUDY ANN SANTOS REUNITES WITH GIMIK CO-STARS
The reunion was filmed for Judy Ann's YouTube channel and uploaded on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
The vlog started with Judy Ann inviting her Gimik co-stars to come over and to bring ingredients for Thai Pork Rib Soup and Steamed Lapu-Lapu.
The whole video was quite funny and chaotic as everyone was just so excited to be gathering together and sharing stories from their experience fwhikle taping Gimik.
One funny moment was when the group was cooking the Steamed Lapu-Lapu, and Mylene instructed Judy Ann to add Kaffir Lime Leaves for added aroma and flavor.
But Judy Ann blurted out laughing, "Akala ko lagyan natin ng kiffy? Rinig ko kasi kiffy!"
Marvin interjected, "Wait, what's kiffy?"
Just for clarity, "kiffy" is Filipino internet slang that refers to a woman's private part.
Marvin interjected, "Ano yung kiffy?"
It wasn't clear whether Marvin genuinely didn't know the word, but it looked like he picked up the meaning.
When Jolina came out with a huge bunch of lemongrass, Marvin quipped, "Iyan ba yung kiffy?"
He added, "Bakit ang bushy niyan, no?"
