A singing VP Leni Labrador and President Diggie gracing Twitter Spaces every night served as stress relievers to some Filipino online users battling post-election stress.
On Wednesday, a group of voice actors took to Twitter and hosted back-to-back Spaces or audio discussions. They entertained Filipinos who were dismayed by the partial and unofficial result of the 2022 elections.
The first Twitter Spaces, hosted by Mark Angelo Roma, @KiyoOnate, @AltStarMagic, is titled “RosasSaDilim” followed by the love advice version titled “MahalangMagmahal.”
They were joined by voice actors who impersonated government officials such as Vice President Leni Robredo (VP Leni Labrador), President Rodrigo Duterte (President Diggie), Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte (Joy Del Monte and Mayor Joy Dishwashing Liquid) and Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto (Mayor B. Kho Juice).
In the succeeding Twitter Spaces, there were also impersonators of Ariana Grande, Bea Alonzo, Tricia Robredo, and Ogie Diaz, among others.
The voice acting of the parody accounts impressed Twitter users and gave them good vibes.
Among the moments that captured the attention of netizens was when parody accounts VP Leni Labrador and President Diggie sang one of the famous campaign songs of Robredo, “Rosas” penned by Nica del Rosario.
