Netizens recalled this 2013 tweet that was shared by David Licauco
Kapuso actor David Licauco has this reaction to his tweet in 2013 about Jose Rizal that went viral just recently.
David is part of the successful primetime Kapuso series Maria Clara at Ibarra. He played the character of Fidel who was paired with the character of Klay or Maria Clara Infantes played by Barbie Forteza.
In the series, their onscreen tandem is known as FiLay and viewers are loving their chemistry. This Kapuso historical portal fantasy drama series was based on Jose Rizal’s novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
Through this series, many millennials are being encouraged to know historical novels and somehow learned to love history. However, netizens found it ironic that David himself did not like the Rizal subject in school.
On August 29, 2013, David Licauco shared this tweet: “studying jose rizal’s life for tom’s finals. Ano makukuha ko dito -_-“
In a recent interview, based on the article in the Philippine Entertainment Portal, the Kapuso actor shared his thoughts on his past tweet that went viral. “Nagulat ako at natakot kasi baka mamaya meron pang ibang tweets na mahalungkat ng mga fans,” he admitted.
He said that since Twitter is known as a platform in which people would rant about anything, he also used this to air his thoughts at that time. “So, hindi ko naman yun dinelete kaya medyo kinakabahan. Pero siguro naman maiintindihan nila yun kasi bata pa ako nun, e,” he added.
In a separate interview, the actor shared that it sound crazy that after 10 years since that tweet was shared, he did a series based on Rizal’s novels.
He admitted that at first, he felt nervous that people might think that he is “walang kwentang tao.” However, he stressed that he was just 17 or 16 years old back then. He is just relieved that people did not react negatively.
