Filed Under: Television, Entertainment (general)

HOST: PEOPLE really want to know from the horse?s mouth?I guess that?s you.

Guest: What do you want to know?

Host: Are you or are you not exclusively dating (name of female star)?
Guest: A, ayun ba? Well, I can?t say yes about it or deny against it.
(Hmph, pa-coy-coy ka pa diyan...)

Appointee

Host: Do you think (name of presidential appointee) is right for being chosen as the head of your bureau?

Guest: I think so. He?s a lawyer, so the job is tailor-made for him!
(Lawyer? Tailor? Make up your mind.)

***

Host: Why did the fire spread so quickly and in so wide an area?
Guest: Partly, I think, because there were no far hydrants.

(So? Couldn?t they use the ones that were near?)

***

Host: Why did you leave the show?

Guest: Because they did not follow what we agreed on. So, I just left?right there and there!

(Right there?and where?)

Rainy season

Host: What is your advice for students during this rainy season?
Guest: Make sure you bring all your umbrellas and kapote in case of instant downpoor!

(If not?ah-choo!? poor you!)

***

Host: Are you sure the criminal escaped after the crime?
Guest: Very sure. After the crime, right away, shinert namin yung area all over the paligid.

(And all he left behind was?his shirt?)

***
Host: How did you feel when you lost the race?
Guest: Like a fly being led to the slaughter!
(That bad, huh?)

Sad experience

Host: What did you learn from this sad experience?
Guest: Natutunan ko pong mag-isip, magplano at maging prematured.
(Huh? ?Hey, whatever, good for you.)

***

Host: When and how can we watch your special broadcast?
Guest: This Monday, it will be broadcasted live.
(Uh, ?broadcast? has no past tense.)

***

Host: As a very successful champion in your own right, what advice can you give to our best bet in the international beauty contest coming up?
Guest: Only one: Be confidence in yourself!
(?Nagsalita!)

***

Host: What can we do to have better health?
Guest: We should all pay more attention for our health by having more exercises!

(Isa ka pa!)

Consumers

Host: How should consumers protect themselves when buying a product?
Guest: Make sure to almost remember to read the label.
(Why ?almost?? ?What are you talking about?!)

***

Host: What is the prize at stake in your supermarket?s big raffle this month?

Guest: The winner will go on a shopping free!
(?Whee!)

***
Host: Why are you so successful? What do you think are the factors?
Guest: A lot of prayer, a lot of preparation, a lot of connection?and a very good work itik!

(And, with a good ?work itik? comes?balut?)
