Here’s the reaction of Tony Velasquez on the “Hokkaido” joke of President Bongbong Marcos
TONY VELASQUEZ – The ABS-CBN news anchor reacted to the “Hokkaido” joke of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
In a press briefing in Noveleta, Cavite, on Monday, October 31, the president said in jest: “Welcome to Hokkaido.”
He went to the area to distribute relief goods to residents affected as well as conduct an aerial inspection.
His joke was in response to speculations that he went to Japan amid the devastation of Severe Tropical Storm Paeng over the weekend.
Many wondered where the President was as he presided over a situational briefing.
The Palace had already denied that the president was in Japan. However, it did not specify Marcos’ location.
On Sunday afternoon, the #NasaanAngPangulo which translates to “Where is the president?” trended on the microblogging site, Twitter.
His joke earned mixed reactions from netizens.
Among those who reacted is no less than ABS-CBN news anchor, Tony Velasquez.
“Nakuha pa ni Pang. Marcos Jr. na magbiro, bilang sagot sa mga haka haka na nasa Japan siya habang meron nang nagaganap na malawak na kalamidad sa Pinas dulot ni Paeng. “Welcome to Hokkaido” ika niya. Natawa kaya yung mga namatayan sa bahay at guho?” he wrote.
Anthony Velasquez also shared a mini-comic criticizing the joke made by Marcos Jr.
