ZACK TABUDLO – Singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo showed his playful side after addressing a trending issue most unexpectedly right on stage.
Zack Tabudlo once again made waves online after he responded with humor to public chatter about an alleged issue involving his body odor.
In a recent TikTok upload, a clip showing Zack performing at the Marikina Year-end concert, where he jokingly alluded to the controversy while addressing the audience. The moment immediately drew attention on social media, particularly from fans who admired how he chose wit over irritation in dealing with the situation.
“Bababa ako mamaya pero kailangan ko munang magpabango, e. Medyo maasim daw, e,” said Zack as he sprayed perfume on himself while still on stage. His lighthearted comment prompted laughter and applause from the crowd, transforming what had been a sensitive online topic into a fun and relatable highlight of the live performance.
The discussion about Zack’s supposed smell first emerged during his appearance at UST Paskuhan 2025. A video shared by UST Tiger Radio showed the singer-songwriter moving closer to fans near the barricade while soaked in sweat and wearing a gray shirt. The clip quickly circulated online, leading some netizens to speculate and leave remarks about his body odor, which soon escalated into wider online buzz.
After the video spread and discussions intensified, Zack decided to confront the issue head-on. He released a four-minute response video where he stressed the importance of empathy, understanding, and simple human kindness. Instead of reacting defensively, the singer-songwriter reminded the public that flaws are a natural part of life.
“We’re all human at the end of the day. Lahat tayo tumatae, lahat tayo pinagpapawisan, lahat tayo nagkakamali sa buhay. Being nice isn’t hardest to do. Be nice, guys,” said the singer-songwriter in his message.
