Actress-host Gabbi Garcia faced mixed reactions from netizens after a video uploaded by her boyfriend Khalil Ramos showed her recording a voiceover inside a passenger train in Japan.
Khalil shared the video on his TikTok account on Thursday, Oct. 22, showing Gabbi doing a voiceover for “Pinoy Big Brother” and its upcoming season, Collab 3.0, while they were seated inside the public transportation during their trip in Osaka, Japan.
Garcia is among the hosts of the reality show, alongside Bianca Gonzalez, Gabbi Garcia, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee, and Michael Sager.
Ramos captioned the clip: “Maya maya pa.. makakarating na tayo sa Osaka Station.”
While some users were left amused by Gabbi’s talent, others called the act “disrespectful” in the comments section.
“Hindi ba disrespectful sa culture nila? Like mag ingay sa public transpo?”, one comment read.
“‘Di ba parang wala naman yatang maingay sa train nila at parang bawal yata ganyan sa kultura ng Japan,” a netizen asked.
“Kaya naiinis sila sa mga tourist eh,” added another.
The celebrity couple quickly addressed the comments, explaining that they were fully aware of their surroundings.
“Guys, relax, it was literally 3-5 seconds HAHA and maingay din talaga sa train. Modulated and nakalapit lang ‘yung phone sa’kin kaya malakas. Kung maka-react kayo ‘kala niyo naman nagsisisigaw ako sa train,” responded Gabbi.
“Sana na-videohan ko din ‘yung dagsaan ng mga teenagers papuntang Universal Studios na ang tataas ng boses. Kung maka comment iba dito na nag school ng Japanese culture e. Cultured na kayo n’yan?”, Khalil added.
