In It’s Showtime, a master in academia forgot PH’s first female president.
People online were amused as in It’s Showtime, a master’s degree holder failed to give the correct answer to this question.
“Throwbox” is the newest segment of ABS-CBN noontime show It’s Showtime. 10 studio players and the one who will get the box with a star inside it proceeds to the next round. The player will be answering a general question after choosing a box that has the year to which the question is related and each box has corresponding cash prizes.
For each correct answer, the cash prize will be added to his winnings while for each wrong answer, the corresponding cash prize will be deducted from the player’s money.
In the recent episode, the attention of many people online, especially the viewers, was caught. A contestant, who happens to be a teacher who has a master’s degree and is taking up a doctorate, has joined the segment. Many were impressed by his academia background and they were banking high that he could answer academia questions but were shocked when he failed to give a correct answer to this question.
“Sino naman ang unang babaeng naluklok bilang president ng Pilipinas?”
This was the question to the contestant and his answer was Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. People online were baffled as to how someone with such an impressive achievements in education is not familiar with the said fundamental question.
The hosts Tyang Amy Perez and Jhong Hilario asked the audience and in chorus, the madlang people answered Cory Aquino. This is the correct answer which prompted comedian Tetay to express a banter copying the voice and expressions of Kris Aquino, the youngest of Cory.
The opinions of people online are, however, divided. One commenter expressed that perhaps his major is not about history and that he is better with other subjects.
Arroyo is the 14th president of the country and the second female to stand in this position. The first is Corazon “Cory” Aquino.
