Alan Cayetano Becomes the Center of Online Jokes After Boom Labrusca Post
BOOM LABRUSCA – A seemingly playful Facebook post by Boom Labrusca quickly went viral, triggering laughter, criticism, and heated discussions online.
Actor Boom Labrusca recently sparked online discussion after sharing a social media post that appeared to poke fun at Senator Alan Peter Cayetano by referring to him as a “halfie.”
The term “halfie” is commonly used to describe individuals of mixed racial or ethnic heritage. However, Boom seemed to give the word a different meaning in a Facebook post uploaded on Saturday, June 13.
In his post, Boom shared a screenshot taken from Senator Alan’s Facebook Live broadcast on June 12. Along with the image, he wrote a caption that immediately caught the attention of social media users.
“Half dds , half Independent Half blogger , half Pastor. Gusto ko halfie ka. Gets?!”
The post quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions from netizens. Some found the caption amusing, while others took the opportunity to share their own opinions about the senator.
Among the comments left by users were:
“Huwag kukurap may lalabas sa noo”
“Dami nasisilaw sa galing at katinuan ni SP APC. Parang inasinan mga puwet.”
“Wala ba syang planong i-fire yung stylist nya?”
“Buhay nanaman ulit sya”
“Kung sa LOTR may gandalf Sa senate may grandhalf”
“Actually SELFIE yan, sarili lang iniisip. Dikit ngayon sa dds yan kase dun sya nakakaisip ng pakinabang. Dami ng na traydor nyan. Erap, Gloria, Pnoy. Lahat yan dinikitan nya hanggang sa hindi na nya kelangan. Typical na Linta.”
“saan kayang planeta galing tong si alien”
“First LOL ko of the day grabe sa caption”
The online exchange comes amid the recent controversy surrounding the term “halfies,” which became a trending topic following remarks made by Filipino-American pageant titleholders Brandon Espiritu and Jether Palomo.
The two personalities previously drew criticism after suggesting that the Philippines would struggle to compete on the national pageant stage without individuals like them. Their statements generated widespread backlash from pageant fans and social media users, reigniting discussions about identity, representation, and what it means to represent the country.
With the word “halfie” still fresh in public conversations, Boom Labrusca’s post added another layer to the ongoing debate, prompting both laughter and criticism from netizens who quickly joined the discussion online.
