A friendly reminder from bessie Jennylyn Mercado: "You don't spill tea, you serve them sizzling hot."

Jennylyn Mercado obviously enjoys using Twitter, and a proof of that is her hilarious responses to her followers.

The Descendants of the Sun lead actress may have begun being active on Twitter again just recently, but she has instantly become one of microblogging site's most-loved personalities.

Aside from being naturally witty, one thing that Twitterverse loved about Jennylyn is her innocence and genuity.

The Ultimate Star is not ashamed of her typographical errors. In fact, she makes fun of herself when committing such.


Since she is relatively new to the popular site, Jennylyn admitted her ignorance of the Twitter language like the usage of the Filipino word "tapakan" and the shy finger-twiddling emoji.

Honestly speaking, if one is new to Twitter, understanding these slang terms may be actually very tricky!

"Mga bessie I need help. Pwede pakiexplain kung bakit gusto niyo magpatapak saka ano ibig sabihin neto [twiddling fingers together emoji]," she asked her followers.


Luckily, spoken-word artist Juan Miguel Severo was quick to educate Jennylyn.

He explained, "Kapag gustong magpatapak ibig sabihin non nuknukan ka ng ganda kayâ willing silang yurakan mo ang pagkatao nila.

|Itong [twiddling fingers together emoji] ay gawain ng mga anime characters kapag nahihiya sila at nagpapa-cute/pabebe/pa-inosente effect."

After learning how to use the "tapakan" word on Twitter, Jennylyn used it to allude to her idol, Sarah Geronimo.


In her birthday message to the multi-hyphenate celebrity, the Kapuso star tweeted, "Happy Birthday @JustSarahG!!! I am such a fan of yours. Enjoy your special day. God bless.

"P.s. Apakan mo ko please [three heart emojis.]"

On the other hand, Jennylyn made use of the anime-inspired emoji when she felt flattered when a certain netizen compiled her funniest tweets.


Indeed, Jennylyn's adorable innocence is cute, but this high-spirited actor also knows how to redeem herself, too!

She obtained her proud moment when she discovered how to use the word "tea," a slang for gossip.
