Coco Martin made the rounds on social media as a scene from his long-running series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano trended. Netizens found the scene to be funny as the actor delivered his lines so quickly which made it incomprehensible.
The said scene was in the June 9 episode of FPJAP where Cardo Dalisay (Coco Martin) confronted Fernando Mante (Christian Vasquez).
One netizen uploaded the scene on his Facebook account which garnered 17k reactions from other people.
The line that Dalisay was supposed to say was, “Hayop ka, akala namin mapagkakatiwalaan kayo! Bakit kayo nagsumbong sa pulis?”
However, the netizen heard it as “Ayp ka! Akala namin pagk@walwalan kayo! Bat ka nagtumbong ta pulith!?!”
Dalisay confronted Mante as he discovered that the latter tried to call the police from which Dalisay’s team was running away.
The episode ended with Dalisay threatening Mante’s family.
“Kapag inulit niyo pa ‘yung ginawa niyo, sisiguraduhin namin sa inyo na buhay niyo ang malalagay sa panganib,” said Dalisay.

I admit I used to be one of those who make jokes about speaking w/ lisp. But I realized there’s nothing funny about it. Took me time, i know, & I regret it.
Itigil na natin yang paggawa o pagtawa sa lisp jokes. 2021 na. https://t.co/HAv9P0rZXf
