MANILA — ABS-CBN News anchor Bernadette Sembrano on Tuesday shared that her on-screen line "sa 'yo ako" which became a viral "meme" was unintentional due to lack of cue.

"Kapag sa labas kasi maraming nangyayari. At that time, wala kaming floor director. Hindi ko alam kung naka-ere na, inaantay ko 'yung senyas sa akin sa location," she said.

"Minsan, 'di mo alam kung kinu-cue ba 'yung video. Ang daming ganap. Sabi ko titingin na lang ako doon sa camera man, kaya sabi ko 'sa 'yo ako ha.' Ibig sabihin 'I'll get my cue from you,'" she explained.

While being interviewed, an employee also passed by the hallway and threw a question to Sembrano.

"Kanino ka Ate B?" she asked.

"Sa 'yo lang," the anchor replied while smiling.

The supposed off-camera scene in TV Patrol happened last November 15. Netizens quickly found humor from it and referred to the line as an "assurance we all need."

Meme pages and fans also used it to recall the famous comical question "Kanino ka lang?"

Some even tagged their own partners in posts and reposts of Sembrano's line. There were also those who flooded the comment section with jokes and puns.

"Me to crush," a netizen said.

When asked for her reaction to the comical gimmicks of netizens over her short simple line, Sembrano said she was just surprised how it even trended.

Ate B also made a TikTok video to make fun of the line which now has almost 39,000 views.
