Traveling in a place plagued with terrible traffic problems, one could not blame another from getting annoyed while he or she is stuck in the clogged roadways.<\/p>\n

But what if a mobile app could help them not only by offering real-time traffic updates, but also a turn-by-turn voice navigation that could make their stomach hurts by laughing so hard? Impossible? Comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto proved it is not.<\/p>\n

Waze, a GPS navigation app, previously broke the internet when netizens recommended some Filipino celebrities who they would want to hear as its navigation voice.<\/p>\n

Some of the suggestions include “Queen of All Media” Kris Aquino, talk show host Boy Abunda, veteran actor Leo Martinez, Kim Atienza, and famed comedian during the 80s and 90s Babalu \u2014 even politicians like House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and President Rodrigo Duterte did not get away from the list.<\/p>\n

But among those celebrities, many netizens said they would love to hear the boobalicious<\/em> voice of Rufa. Well, the actress seemed like she doesn’t want to disappoint them as she granted their request.<\/p>\n

Known for her catchphrase “Todo na ‘to<\/em>\u00a0(To the maximum)!”<\/em> “To the highest level!” and “Go go go!” Rufa showed a sample on how she can brighten up the day of every driver and commuter dealing with traffic problems.<\/p>\n

Imagining that she is now the Waze voice navigator, Rufa instructed, “Pagkatapos po ng<\/em> (After) five meters, yes, turn right alright and then left, right, left left, agad agad <\/em>(immediately), turn around hanggang makarating sa<\/em> (until you arrive at the) stoplight!”<\/p>\n

Stuck in traffic as soon as the app user reached the stoplight, the actress advised, “Chillax chillax lang muna <\/em>(Just chill first).<\/em> Steady lang<\/em>, don’t rush, keep calm and carry on!”<\/p>\n

“Tapos<\/em> (Then) go go go! Straight to the point! Tapos<\/em> (And then) when you arrive\u00a0sa pangalawang kanto <\/em>(at the second block) turn left \u2014 not right \u2014 but left. Tapos<\/em> (Then) slowly but surely kasi may<\/em> (because there is a) pedestrian lane; hintayin tumawid sina ate at kuya, lolo at lola, <\/em>mother father (wait until sister and brother, grandfather and grandmother, mother and father, cross the lane),” she continued.<\/p>\n

But what if you suddenly encountered your ex on your way? The actress said this is what you should do:<\/p>\n

“‘Pag makita mo na ang ex mo, bumaba ka, lapitan mo tapos… konyatan mo <\/em>(If you see your ex-lover, get off your car, go to your ex then\u2026 hit him)! Tapos takbo na <\/em>(And then run)! <\/em>Drive lang nang<\/em> drive (Just drive)!” she suggested.<\/p>\n

She continued, “Turn left, right, to the highest level whoooo! Don’t forget the clutch kung hindi <\/em>automatic ang<\/em> car (if your car is not automatic), yes!”<\/p>\n

“And you’ve arrived in your destination. Ang dami mong pinagdaanan ‘di ba <\/em>(You have been through a lot, right)?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Calling herself as Rufa ‘Waze’ Quinto, the 40-year-old hoped that she could pass the Waze navigation voice \u2018audition\u2019 that made her become “so waze-ted.”<\/p>\n

The video which was uploaded on her YouTube channel garnered 227,175 views, 10,000 likes and 1,428 comments as of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
