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

A fact about the fakeness of crocodile tears was Kuya Kim’s clap back to a certain @SurrealBeetch, who told him to just cry about ABS-CBN’s situation and change his career to politics. The netizen also called the Kapamilya network as ‘garbage.’
While his response was only the trivia, it can be remembered that Kuya Kim tweeted just the day before about his stance on politics, saying that he has said no to it a long time ago.
I will always be your kuya kim. I’ve long said no to politics. With or without ABS, Ill always be your kuya never your cong. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/nessLv0rSy

Speaking of politics, when @jhedrielmarcus accused his father of receiving payments in his politicking. Kuya Kim simply bared a politician’s salary grade.
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

Meanwhile, @RyanBong17 got a lesson from Kuya Kim about kamote or yam.
Alam niyo ba na ang pagtawag ng Kamote ay anti farmer? Noong 1970s inabot ko pa, pag mali o Bobo ang sagot ng estudyante sinasabihan ng guro ng ” Go home and plant Kamote” kaya naugnay ang kamote sa hindi matalino. #kuyakimtrivia https://t.co/aFdUPB1QC1

As of writing, Kuya Kim’s witty trivia had to stop as the House of Representatives denied ABS-CBN’s application for a franchise renewal.
