Bayani Agbayani was called “Finance Undersecretary“?
Congressman Mike Defensor mistakenly called comedian Bayani Agbayani as the Department of Finance (DOF) Undersecretary.
The name of Bayani became one of the top trending topics on Twitter on Monday due to an unintentional funny reason. During the hearing of the House of Representatives on President Rodrigo Duterte’s request for necessary powers in dealing with the present health crisis in the Philippines due to COVID-19, Representative Defensor called the comedian Finance Undersecretary.
The lawmaker said, “Kay undersecretary Bayani Agbayani ng Finance.” Immediately, one of his colleagues interrupted and corrected his statement: “Paglilinaw lang ha, undersecretary Bayani Agabin.”
Then, Defensor stated, “Ay, Agabin, thank you, Mr Speaker, Bayani Agbayani ba nabanggit ko? I apologize Mr. Speaker.” As this was televised, netizens were quick to share the specific clip on social media.
Here are some of the comments from netizen.
“Hilarious. Idol niya si Bayani. Na hooked siya “aswang” story ni Bayani sa ICSYV. Wala lang breaker lng. At least nagpatawa.” – Twitter user @Mezo87393734
“Congrats for being undersecretary of finance Bayani, naligo lang ako may posisyon ka na HAHAHAHAHA” – Twitter user @ninasofhiavb
“Bayani for the new Undersecretary of Finance. HAHAHAHA this made my day. Agbayani always really stands as a comedian.” – Twitter user @SovereignShewaa
Meanwhile, before the community quarantine was implemented due to COVID-19, Bayani also ventured into vlogging just like other Pinoy celebrities. His most recent vlog, as of press time, was with his “Kompare”, fellow comedian, and rapper Andrew E.
Bayani is also part of the Kapamilya sitcom Home Sweetie Home with Tony Gonzaga and Piolo Pascual. The said show previously featured John Lloyd Cruz before his hiatus and who is also close to Bayani.
