“What hafen Vella?” has become a recent trend on social media
Many people have been joining the “What hafen Vella?” trend on social media, especially TikTok, and here’s the person behind this.
The said phrase came from a contestant of the segment Kalokalike of the Kapamilya noontime It’s Showtime back in 2013. However, the old video has been gaining popularity online just recently.
The contestant poised as the look-alike of Twilight actor Taylor Lautner who played the character of Jacob in the vampire movie.
His name is Christopher Diwata from Orion, Bataan. During the segment, he had a monologue that went viral these past few weeks. “What hafen vella….Why u crying again? I know….vamfire! right? Vampire will feyt me! I trusted to protect bella!!but you did not!I will sure you die edward!!….. I will sure you die!……..” he said in his monologue.
Netizens, social media stars, and even celebrities have joined the trend and created their own version of this. Based on the article in GMA Entertainment, Christopher shared that he was surprised that his old TV stint resurfaced. People have been tagging him on social media.
“Talagang nagulat na lang po ako noong may tag po sa akin na viral na po ‘yung What hafen Vella,” he said.
Christopher also joined the Copy Face segment of Dapat Alam Mo! on GTV in 2023 and he did that same monologue. He is happy that people are still remembering what he did more than a decade ago.
“Ginawa ko po kung ano po ‘yung best ko para matuwa po ‘yung mga tao. Maraming marami pong salamat sa mga sumusuporta po sa akin,” he said.
With the virality of his monologue, he was tapped to be part of a promotional video for an online retail platform.
