PTV-4 reporter Louisa Erispe is currently viral on social media because of a blooper she committed while doing a live broadcast for Rise and Shine Pilipinas.
Rise and Shine Pilipinas is PTV-4’s morning news program that airs every weekday. It is anchored by Aljo Bendijo, Diane Querrer, Chi Atienza-Valdipenas, and Gab Bayan.
On March 2, 2022, in observance of Ash Wednesday, Louisa did a live field report in front of the Quiapo Church.
In the viral clip reposted by netizens, Louisa described the way people were observing social distancing. But instead of saying "simbahan," she blurted out, "tindahan."
Louisa said, “Makikita natin na kahit nasa labas sila ng tindahan…”
Upon realizing her blooper, she immediately corrected herself.
However, she really couldn’t help but laugh.
While continuing her report, she tried looking at the back to hide her facial expression. She also pretended to cough because her voice was already shaking.
Louisa said while really trying to hold her laughter, “Makikita natin na hanggang sa ngayon, natutupad pa rin ang social distancing.”
Her voice was already high-pitched when she said, “At iyan na muna ang latest…” then she coughed, looked away at the camera, and continued laughing.
Even the sign language interpreter couldn't help but smile.
Chi Atienza-Valdipanas, who was at the studio, witnessed the blooper that she was also caught on camera laughing!
She managed to thank Louisa, but the technical director already cut her spiel for the next segment!
The Facebook video posted by Elishua Balinton has already generated 950K views, getting mostly “haha” reactions.
The Instagram Just For Fun account @kabulastugan also reposted it with the caption, “Ma’am Tani."
It can be recalled that a similar incident happened to GMA-7’s meteorologist Nathaniel “Mang Tani” Cruz.
While doing his live report for Balitanghali, Mang Tani accidentally called reporter Jun Veneracion "Josie," the name of the typhoon. Mang Tani also had to hold his laughter and pretended to cough.
Back to Louisa's blooper on the feed of @kabulastugan, the clip already has more than 76k views and 8.9k likes at press time.
It also caught the attention of Jugs Jugueta, Nar Cabico, Janno Gibbs, and TV Patrol showbiz anchor Gretchen Fullido.
LOUISA REACTS TO HER VIRAL VIDEO
Earlier today, March 3, Louisa acknowledged her bloooper, and quipped in her Instagram post, “Yes, i'm that sabowg girl. LF: Tindahan na mapupuntahan.”
Did the blooper get her into trouble?
Louisa continued, “Chariz. Good vibes lang tayo [heart emoji] mahalaga employed pa rin ako [laughing emoji]”
