The line ‘Bakit malungkot ang beshy ko?’ originated from a scene in an episode of ‘Magpakailanman’ way back in 2019, featuring the story of former viral best friends MJ Ortega and Lala Vilegenio from Navotas City. In that particular scene, they showcased their camaraderie through a showdown, which included doing cartwheels while asking, “Bakit malungkot ang beshy ko?”
The clip went viral again after three years. Netizens and celebrities alike have joined the bandwagon and have made their own impressions.
