Ara Galang’s Comment on Aby Maraño–Babes Bolick Controversy Is the Internet’s New Battlecry Against Cheaters

The past couple of days, the top trends included a really angry phrase. “UL*L G*GO KA” in all caps, so you could feel just how angry the original writer probably was. But what exactly is the story behind this trending phrase?
Volleyball player Aby Maraño and basketball player Robert “Babes” Bolick have been in a relationship for eight years, but things seem to have changed recently. In a series of new posts on Instagram (some of which have been taken down since then), Bolick is seen with a new girl who is identified as Cassandra Yu.
It seems there’s a third party involved in the famous sports couple’s relationship. But unfortunately, Maraño seemed to have only known about this through social media.

Right after Bolick’s posts, Maraño also took to social media to share cryptic posts. On IG stories, she shared a text photo featuring 2 Kings 20:5 and another with the words “May Your next tears be tears of joy.”

Before Bolick’s posts were taken down and before he turned off the comments section, eagle-eyed netizens found a comment from Maraño. “Solid naman ng vacation nyo. Hindi ko alam may bago ka na?” the comment read. Based on her comment, it seems that Maraño had no idea that Bolick had already moved on.
While all the craziness of this scandal is happening, Bolick got to post yet another photo with a simple caption of the wide eyes emoji and the username of Yu. When he first posted this, comments weren’t turned off yet, so friends and fans of Maraño flooded the post.
ULOL GAGO KA is trending, the power of The great Ara galang!!
Love you tyang aby! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/wdpFwpyMzb

And perhaps the most memorable comment of all is the one from Ara Galang, Maraño’s fellow volleyball player and close friend. Angry over what happened to her friend, she cussed out Bolick quite hard. Now, “UL*L G*GO KA” is turning out to be the new shout-out for cheaters.

It seems like this new relationship isn’t so new. This eagle-eyed netizen seems to have connected the dots from some older posts of Bolick and Yu that indicated that their relationship isn’t as new as it seems.
Bolick and Yu seem to have just announced their relationship, because it seems even Bolick’s family didn’t know about it. Unfortunately for the new couple, there’s disapproval from his family.

Bolick’s sister, Connie, took to her Instagram stories to show her support for Maraño and call out Yu for sharing a photo with Bolick while everyone was thinking that Maraño and Bolick were still together. A photo of Connie with Maraño was captioned with “The only sis in law we need”, while Yu’s post was accompanied with “Have a little respect! Delete your post!”
So far, there has been no official statement from any parties. But netizens continue to throw support for Maraño.
PROTECT TYANG ABBY AT ALL COST

Despite all the things I didn’t like about her, Tyang deserves no less than a love that’s real and honest. Potangina mo, Bolick!

“A friend like Ara Galang pls #ULOLGAGOKA“

A couple of things we’ve learned from this: (1) if you’re in a relationship, please at least give the decency to break up properly with your S.O. before jumping into another relationship; and (2) find yourself a friend like Ara Galang!
What do you think of this fiasco?
