Kara David has this follow-up on her viral meme
Award-winning documentarist Kara David said in a recent event that “apat pa lang napapatay ko eh,” and this went viral.
To recall, Kara’s wish for her 52nd birthday went viral when she shared this on her Facebook page. Before blowing out the candles on her cake, she said her wish. “Sana mamatay na lahat ng kurakot,” the Kapuso journalist wished.
This amused netizens, but they also supported her birthday wish. Some netizens commented that they are setting aside their wishes for Kara’s wish to come true.
This viral birthday wish, which gave birth to a lot of memes, was prompted by the buzz created by the corruption issue in the Philippines, especially the controversial issue of anomalous flood control projects that dragged the names of several prominent politicians.
During the nationwide protest against corruption last September 21, 2025, many rallyists used Kara David’s birthday wish to air their grievances about the corruption issue.
Just recently, Kara spoke at an event, and her greetings to the audience was fiece. “Buhay pa ba kayo?” she asked, and the crowd cheered and answered “yes.” Then, she said, “Siyempre buhay kayo, kasi hindi kayo kurakot,” adding that only corrupt people will die.
This garnered another round of cheering from the crowd. After that, the veteran journalist said, “Apat pa lang napapatay ko eh. Apat na ba?”
This was shared on Reddit, and netizens could not help but connect this to the famous anime “Death Note,” especially since she was gifted with a “Death Note,” a known notebook in the anime in which the character of Kira would write the names of people and their time and mode of death.
Some netizens connect her statement to the recent deaths of public officials. However, a netizen said that Kara David had this statement on December 17 at a UP event, which was days before the death of one of the most recent controversial political figures. Here are some comments from netizens.
