On New Year’s Eve, four famous artists in the country including Spongecola, Zephanie Dimaranan, Kapamilya singer Darren Espanto and SB19 performed at the Mall of Asia on Saturday night, December 31.

In the report of showbiz reporter MJ Felipe, netizens noticed the wrong caption in the broadcast of TV Patrol. The headline stated: “SPONGECOLA, DARREN ESPANTO, BINI AT BGYO MAGPE-PERFORM SA COUNTDOWN PARTY SA ISANG MALL SA PASAY CITY.”

Fans of SB19 known as A’Tin immediately noticed the wrong caption. One of the fans said: “Your headline is misleading, wala naman sila sa line-up.” Another netizen noted: “Paki-double check po sana ‘yung headline.”
