The topic "Kuya Kim" has since been trending on Twitter!
WHY KUYA KIM WAS LAUGHING
TV Patrol's showbiz news anchor, Gretchen Fullido, was apparently part of the "inside joke."
Gretchen challenged Kuya Kim to say the word "tinapay" during his weather report.
In the video she uploaded, Gretchen asked her followers if Kuya Kim would be able to do her challenge.
Kim answered, "Sisiw."
So during the actual report, he ended his weather update with this piece of advice to the viewers: "Sa mga lalabas para magbakuna, magbaon po tayo ng payong at magdala po ng pagkain gaya po ng tinapay para hindi po tayo magutom habang naghihintay."
A few minutes after that spiel, he started laughing until the end of the report.
In Gretchen's video, she could be heard saying, "Nasabi nga niya iyong tinapay, iyong trivia naman niya! Hahaha!"
Kuya Kim then told Noli de Castro, "Ito ginugulo ako, e!"
Gretchen replied, "Wala akong ginagawa, tawang-tawa siya sa sarili niya!"
Kuya Kim quipped, "Wala na nga tayong suweldo, matatanggalan pa tayo ng trabaho!"
Gretchen also wrote in her caption, "BAKIT NAGTRENDING SI KUYA KIM KANINA. WAIT FOR IT!!! I DIEEEE
"Naitawid ba ni @kuyakim_atienza sabihin ang word na 'TINAPAY' sa kanyang LIVE weather report??
"AT… BAKIT SIYA TAWA NG TAWA??? ANYARE KUYA KIM???
KAYA MO PA BA??? I DIEEEED AGAIN…… HAHAHAHA!"
Gretchen's video already has more than 23K views as of this writing.
