We’ve seen Scarlet Snow do wondrous and adorable things, among these are: when she displayed advanced reading (and fruit naming!) skills; when she taught us how to share our blessings and when she proved she was a friend to the animals! Now, it turns out, she’s not just an animal-lover; she can also be an animal impersonator!
Over the Holy Week break, we were treated to a video of Scarlet being asked by her dad Hayden to mimic animal sounds–I’m sure you’ve done this with your kids–and she does them flawlessly, from sheep, dog, cat, mouse, donkey, and horse, that is until her dad asks her to make the sound a rabbit mistakes!
The cute toddler ended up mimicking a mouse, but despite her mistake she quickly makes “pa-cute” and breezes through it with the quickness of a seasoned comedienne.
“The rabbit said, ‘What’s up, doc?'” the celebritot said, leaving both her dad and her mom Vicki (heard in the background) laughing their hearts out.
Son of widowed labandera graduates with cum laude honors
For 25 year old Francis Sinaban of Isabela, poverty did not become a hindrance to finishing his studies with flying colors.
The working student, who made ends meet as a dishwasher when he was 12 years old, shared with ABS-CBN news how he persisted despite having wounds on his hands from the job.
After his dad Frank suffered a stroke and eventually passed, Francis was left in the care of his mom Nida, who washed clothes to earn a living. It was her who pushed Francis to go back to school. So he went back to high school at the age of 17 and persisted despite being bullied by his classmates. While studying, he worked at a fast food chain to help his mom with his tuition for college.
On April 14, all their sacrifices paid off when Francis graduated with cum laude honors, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.
“Hindi pa huli sa marathon. Hangga’t may pangarap ka habulin mo lang. Mas malayo yan kapag nakatayo ka lang at walang ginagawa. Pag hinahabol mo mas malapit ka sa finish line,” said Francis.
Watch: 3-year-old kid acts like a kontrabida
A 3-year-old girl is now the latest social media star. Brianna “Yanni” Gonzaga from South Cotabato shows off her acting skills in a now viral clip, earned nearly 300,000 views. In the video, Yanni appears to be scolding someone. In an interview with ABS-CBN news, her mom Goerlyn shared she was pretending to argue with her mom’s boss Cholo and lola Bebs, who used to take care of her.
The video has been shared over 5,000 times but the reception has not been completely positive. Some criticized her mom for encouraging that kind of behavior. Goerlyn admitted she was hurt by the comments, saying that her kid just loves to act. But in reality, she’s a sweet and respectful kid.
“Actually, nasasaktan din pero tuturuan ko na lang si Yanni na paglaki niya, di na pansinin ang mga taong ganyan. Di lang kami particular sa po at opo kasi di man kami Tagalog, Ilonggo kasi talaga kami sa bahay pero no bad words talaga yan siya,” she explained, adding that Yanni loves watching TV dramas like Ang Probinsiyano.
The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office cautioned Goerlyn and moms like her to keep this from affecting a child’s true character.
“Okay siya kung ma-proseso at malagay sa tama na ma-distinguish ng bata na what is she doing is just merely acting,” Michael Jess Lapid, psychologist of MSDW said.
