It looks like Filipino Actor Gabby Concepcion can’t get over Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent public boo-boo either. Concepcion posted three different photos about the incident on his Instagram account yesterday.
During a speech on Tuesday, Duterte mistakenly cursed at Concepcion when he meant to criticize ABS-CBN Corporation Chairman Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III.
Although the president corrected himself later on in his speech, Philippine social media went hysterical and created memes related to the mistake.
Concepcion shared three screenshots of articles and a meme referring to the incident but seemed to not be bothered by it.
“Lol. [I was] suddenly admitted to a hospital because of mistaken identity,” Concepcion wrote in his caption in Filipino and English, referencing a plot line in a TV show he stars in.

He made the same joke in the next screenshot he uploaded.

Finally, he shared a meme that calls him “colateral (sic) damage” with the caption “We all make mistakes.” He also jokingly thanked the president for watching his show Ika 6 Na Utos (The 6th Commandment).

Now that’s what you call moment marketing.
Concepcion is a veteran movie and TV actor in the Philippines. He currently stars in the GMA afternoon teleserye (soap opera) Ikaw 6 Na Utos with actresses Sunshine Cruz and Ryza Cenon.
