Netizens Tease JK Labajo In Recent IG Post In Support Of His Beauty Queen Girlfriend
JK Labajo recently asked his fans online to help vote for his girlfriend, Miss Universe Philippines — Cavite candidate Dia Mate. "heya it’s me please vote for the beautiful bebe Ms Cavite through the MUPH app thank you," he wrote on Facebook and Instagram.
While most of the comments were in support of him and his girlfriend, a lot of netizens also commented about feeling ~*deja vu*~ this pageant season. According to Merriam-Webster, deja vu is "a feeling that one has seen or heard something before."
Netizens also made several callbacks to Olivia Rodrigo's song of the same name, where she sings about her ex and his new girlfriend, who is "another actress" (in this case, another beauty queen) just like her. Hmm, seems familiar indeed, LOL!
"I think I've seen this film before," several netizens commented. It can be remembered that JK also asked netizens to vote for his ex, Maureen Wroblewitz, in the Miss Universe Philippines 2021 competition. She eventually ended up as first runner-up.
Netizens also think that a new song dedicated to his new girlfriend miiight just be in the works.
JK is one of those artists who isn't afraid to poke fun at themselves, and he made sure to let netizens know that in the comments section of his Facebook post.
"Haha deja vu," he commented, adding that the netizens should keep quiet unless they want this to be on the news again. LOL, oops—all in good fun!
