In a tweet on Thursday, June 3, Eat Bulaga host Joey de Leon shared the two meanings of “talunan” for those who won and lost in the May 2022 elections.
He shared a video of him differentiating the two different meanings of the written word “TALUNAN”.
“Same word, different meanings,” he said in the caption.
“Ano ang kaibahan at kahulugan ng salitang ito sa mga nanalo at hindi nanalo nitong nakaraang eleksyon?” De Leon asked.
“Sa natalo, talunan,” he said referring to the candidates who were defeated in the election.
“Sa mga nanalo, talunan,” he said, referring to winners in the elections, which means jumping for joy.

“Bakit si BBM Presidente ngayon? Kasi after DU30, yung may 31 naman! After that, DU30 TOO! Gets?” De Leon joked.
