ABS-CBN News broadcast journalist Karen Davila and Lyca Gairanod became an instant meme online after their video went viral on Monday, August 16.
In the clip, Davila asked Gairanod when is her birthday.
The young singer then replied that she was born on November 21. After hearing this, Davila quickly covered her mouth and screamed in shock.
She revealed that they both have the same birthdays.
Startled by her reaction, Gairanod stepped back a little and showed a confused expression written all over her face.
“Oh my God! Birthday ko iyon! Birthday mo November 21?
“Hindi ko alam ‘yun ah, wait hindi ko alam ‘yun. Magka-birthday kami,” Davila exclaimed.
That same day, Gairanoid’s name landed on twitter Philippines’ list of trending topics.
The video went viral online as many netizens found Davila and Gairanod’s interaction toward each other hilarious.
Even Davila reacted to her video and admitted that she can’t stop laughing after watching it.

Towards the end of the video, Davila felt that they are destined to meet and she promised to throw a party on her and Gairanod’s birthday.
“We are meant to meet. How many people ang makaka-tsamba mo, ini-interview ka, ka-birthday mo? Dear set in stone, kapag nag-birthday tayong dalawa, ako ang magpapa-party,” she said.
The interview was originally posted on Davila’s YouTube vlog where she visited Gairanod’s house in Tanza, Cavite.
She also showed the singer’s new life after winning The Voce Kids Philippines.
