The word ‘gaga’ that the former beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez uttered on August 11, which she made on live TV while she had banter with fellow judge, Kaladkaren–her trend on social media.
During the Diba Teh of Miss Q&A, Kaladkaren joked about Gutierrez’s pink blazer, which prompted the ‘gaga’ remark.
‘It’s Showtime’ host Vice Ganda tried to diffuse the situation by referring to an international singer.
Gutierrez later clarified that she didn’t know that ‘gaga’ was censored on mainstream TV.
Transwoman and drag performer Jiggly Caliente reacted to the clip, citing that she would not be allowed on Philippine television, poking fun at the TV censorship.
OMG kung Gaga is not allowed. I definitely can't guest on Philippines tv putang Ina Ang bunganga ko. English na lang so I can control my mouth lol https://t.co/9442v1m6Gk
