Kara David dubbed as 'Queen of Potential Sound' by netizens
Kara David has now stamped her place in the Philippine internet's hall of fame with the netizens calling her the "Queen of Potential Sound." The moniker was coined by several social media users, who got inspired by her reactions and witty dialogues on TikTok. On Monday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," the award-winning broadcast journalist said that she didn't know that her candid dialogues would turn into memes. "When I started TikTok—I just wanted a venue where I can teach and at the same time show some behind the scenes when I shoot 'Pinas Sarap' and 'I-Witness.' Walang intention whatsoever to be viral," she told GMA News Online through a text message. "Honestly, nagugulat pa rin ako na 'yung isang Gen X na Tita tulad ko ay puwede pa rin palang maging relevant sa TikTok na very Gen Z," she added. Kara proved once again why she's the Queen of Potential Sound as she hilariously described the taste of a suman made from kamoteng kahoy—and yes, it was as witty as ever! "I-Witness" airs on GMA Network every Saturday at 10:15 p.m. after "Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko." Meanwhile, "Pinas Sarap" airs every Saturday on GTV at 8:15 p.m. after G! Flicks. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
