“Nagpa-patrol, Karen Davila,” Davila said.

“Ay! Karen De Guzman,” she corrected, lifting the paper she was holding at that time.

“Just in: Karen Davila, kausap ang sarili? Charot,” an

online user

quipped.

“Sinong ‘Karen’ ba talaga?” the caption read.

“My gosh! Alam mo ‘yung parang nag-au-automatic na ‘yung utak mo,” Davila said to the camera after her blooper.

She also took to social media to apologize.

“OMG… ay… Karen De Guzman! Apologies,” the journalist wrote, adding a grinning-with-sweat emoji on the same day as the blooper.

“Kaya pa ma’am? @iamkarendavila, HAHAHAHAHA! ‘Pag si Karen De Guzman field reporter, bigay niyo kay Ate B or kay Alvin. Haha. Karen na kasi tapos D pa ‘yung last name. Ang cute niyo po,” the X user wrote.

“Exactly,” Davila wrote in response, adding rolling-on-the-floor laughing emojis.

De Guzman also reacted to Davila’s post.

“Hahaha. Hi, Ma’am @iamkarendavila!! You made my day po, hihi,” she wrote, adding heart emojis.

“Buti na lang talaga, hindi na po need i-mention ang surname after lead in, haha. Forever a fan of Ms. @iamkarendavila!” she added.

This was not the first time Davila had a blooper during a live telecast.

Davila was halfway behind him when she suddenly realized the camera was already rolling.

She immediately backed out of the frame, while de Castro remained oblivious to the blooper.
