Broadcast journalist Karen Davila and singer Lyca Gairanod on Saturday recreated their surprised reactions upon finding out they shared the same birthday, on their 2021 birthday.
"OMG!! It's our birthday! It's happening," Davila said on Instagram as she posted a photo of her and Gairanod redoing their surprised faces when they first learned that they share the same birth date, Nov. 21.
Their reaction, which was captured as an outtake of Davila's Aug. 14 vlog with Gairanod, has since spawned various memes on social media.
Davila admitted that she didn't expect their reaction to go viral, which added pressure as to how they would celebrate their birthdays.
To mark the occasion, Davila said she and Gairanod decided to hold a gift-giving event in Tanza, Cavite, the singer's hometown, where they could share their blessings with other people.
During the event, Davila and Gairanod gave away bicycles to residents of Tanza which they could use for their livelihoods. They also handed out smartphones and loading kits to the attendees.
"I didn't want it to be about me and Lyca, but we wanted it to be other people. May pandemya tayo ngayon, and what we wanted to do is help people and give them gifts," Davila said on her Nov. 20 vlog.
"Ang celebration na ito, kumbaga tayo ang magbibigay kesa tayo ang reregaluhan," she added.
Davila, who has been a broadcast journalist for more than 20 years, started vlogging early this year where she interviews politicians, celebrities, and social media influencers. Gairanod rose to fame in 2014 when she won the first season of the The Voice Kids Philippines.
