First Jeepney Ride Experience of Tito Mars
TITO MARS – The content creator once again caught the attention of netizens after sharing a video about his ‘first’ experience riding a jeepney.
In the video, he documented his ride, expressing his nervousness as it was his first time using public transportation. He humorously asked the driver if they accepted card payments.
“Kuya tumatanggap ba kayo ng card o kaya ng g-cash?” he inquired. “Hala, barya lang pala bayad dito,” he added. Fortunately, Tito Mars had a 20-peso bill in his pocket. “Buti nalang pala talaga madali lang magbayad sa jeep,” he remarked. While traditional jeepneys usually don’t accept e-wallets, some modern versions now accept payments like reloadable beep cards. The post garnered mixed reactions from netizens.
Netizens had mixed reactions to Tito Mars’ content, with some suggesting he should continue making exaggerated videos for more engagement. One netizen humorously suggested he ride a pedicab or tricycle and act overly dramatic to provoke strong reactions. Another commented that he effectively annoys people as a strategy to gain more views, comments, and money.
Tito Mars became known on social media for his videos where he shares his views and opinions. Recently, he has been posting videos of himself taking on eating challenges suggested by netizens, including eating sardines, dried fish, and mango with shrimp paste. His reactions while eating these foods have drawn a lot of criticism from viewers.
The content creator spoke out after receiving widespread criticism from netizens. The controversy stemmed from his videos where he eats foods commonly found on the tables of ordinary Filipino families. According to Tito Mars, he had no intention of disrespecting the food of the less fortunate. He added that he considers himself part of the underprivileged community.
Despite Tito Mars’ explanations, the heated debate on social media continues. Some believe he had no ill intentions, while others think he should be more sensitive when creating content related to the culture and lifestyle of others.
