Archie Alemania made the rounds online after seemingly mimicking Gab Valenciano while performing in the Uniteam grand rally.
On April 18, the Uniteam held a grand rally at Citi De Mare, Filinvest Ground, SRP Coastal Road, Cebu City. Alemania was one of the guest celebrities to perform on stage.
Netizens noticed that the way the actor hyped the crowd to cheer for Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte is similar to Gab Valenciano.
Gab previously performed in the Leni-Kiko grand rally, where he created a cheer for the Leni-Kiko tandem. The cheer includes Gab’s dance move, where he repeatedly stomped his feet on the ground.
Archie accordingly copied Gab’s dance moves and how he performed them, which received criticisms online.
One netizen posted a video clip on Twitter saying that Archie’s version was a cheap copy of Gab’s.
Looks like he’s trying to copy Gab Valenciano?
