LOL: Kuya Kim Is Responding to Trolls with Random Trivia You Can Read in His Voice
Jul 10, 2020 • Kyzia Maramara
Kim Atienza, better known as Kuya Kim, understands that hate is never the answer to hate. He’s always been a pretty chill guy, spitting weather reports and random animal facts on the evening news. But being a public figure working for a network in the middle of a controversial case means trolls are out to get him. Don’t worry, just like his khaki pants and signature safari hat, he responds to the haters in a way that’s true to his branding, by having them drown in knowledge.
Those with few followers beware
Alam mo ba pag 5 lang ang followers malamang ito ay isang troll account. Ang troll ay mula sa salitang Danish na Trold na ang ibig sabihin ay ugly dwarf. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/Q1CZ5Up2WD

Dear trolls, Kuya Kim is onto you.
The origin of “kamo”
If they “hated” my network (past tense) that means they love it now. (present tense) Alam mo ba na ang Kamo ay lumang salitang tagalog mula sa dalawang salitang “wika mo” #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/EDIZXWfuDH

This man’s knowledge goes beyond weather reports and facts on the animal kingdom. He is also educated on random etymology facts!
To those who attacked his dad
Alam niyo ba na lahat ng mambabatas ay bayaran? Meron po silang salary grade na 31 at may yearly salary na 257,000. (plus allowances) Bayaran po lahat sila. Hindi po sila libre. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/Dc99gwfQe7

Twitter user @jhedrielmarcus might want to go to the nearest hospital to treat his burns. On the other hand, government officials do get paid a lot and most of them do nothing for the duration of their terms. This is why it’s important to vote wisely since it’s the people’s taxes — your salaries — that provide for these people’s income.
Crocodile tears
alam niyo ba na crocodiles shed tears not because of emotion? They release saline deposits by crying. Ang idiom na crocodile tears ay pagluhang hindi sinsero. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/YqJMlfVp0G

At this point, maybe the haters are doing this just to mine knowledge from him.
Of farts and a-holes
Alam niyo ba na ang utot ay 방귀 (bang gwi) sa korean at mula sa old English word na “feortan” meaning to pass wind. Ibat iba din ang amoy depende sa nakagawiang kainin. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/iLoxowKYr8

alam niyo ba na ang medical term sa a**hole ay
Anus or the opening of the rectum to the outside of the body. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/2VduKL4S5M— kim atienza (@kuyakim_atienza) June 30, 2020
Last night’s wave of random facts wasn’t the first time Kuya Kim clapped back at the haters. He has been doing this for weeks, opting to educate them instead of returning the hate.
Dedma
Alam mo ba na ang salitang deadma is a transliteration of the word patay-malisya. “Dead Malice” is linguistically incorrect but an accepted pinoy slang. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/5On00pq29V

Here’s Kuya Kim flexing his knowledge on linguistics.
Of middle fingers
Did you know that each finger has a separate tendon to make it move? The middle finger is the only finger whose tendon is connected to the ring finger. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/yA11DoJ6E5

Try again, trolls.
Did you know where “corny” originated from?
Alam niyo ba na ang corny ay nangangahulugan na ang joke ay promdi o provincial o mula sa isang corn farmer. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/aYbIE8YHaZ

While we aren’t sure where bashers get their unlimited reservoir of hate, Kuya Kim has an equally bottomless supply of knowledge. And like he would say nightly on the evening news, mag-aral nang mabuti upang buhay ay bumuti.
What’s your favorite response from all of the above?
