Ed Sheeran arrives in Manila, Philippines for concert, but for Ted
Failon, Ed Sheeran is just no one, a "nameless" person when he asked
"Sino ba si Ed Sheeran?" ("Who is Ed Sheeran?")
Ed Sheeran 's Manila arrival this afternoon has been met with
controversies. First, as reported on TV Patrol, his companion
reportedly blocked a Filipino press member from getting near to the
British singer and called him a "monkey". Second is that statement by
news anchor Ted Failon right after the report was shown on TV Patrol.
Ed Sheeran is a British singer, whose hits include 'Lego House' and
'Thinkin' Out Loud', the latter being his massively popular single
around the world.
But for Ted Failon's world, the name Ed Sheeran does not exist. He
asked co-anchor Noli De Castro, "Sino ba si Ed Sheeran? Sorry ha, pero
sino ba siya?" (Who is Ed Sheeran? Sorry, but who is he?)
Noli replied, "Yung kumanta ng Thinking Out Loud." The older anchor
surprisingly knows Ed Sheeran, but not Ted Failon, who probably just
fired back after hearing that report about Ed Sheeran's companion
calling out a Filipino photographer at the airport as "monkey".
And if he is really not familiar with Sheeran, 'coz he's probably got
stuck up from old school music, but it would have been better if Ted
just kept it to himself, 'coz a news anchor, he is expected to know
everything and be familiar with what's being reported in their news
program.
Ed Sheeran Live in Manila concert will be held at the Mall of Asia
Arena Thursday night, March 12, 2015.
