The incident occurred while Davila was reading a news headline and preparing to toss the segment to a field reporter. Instead of introducing the reporter, she mistakenly introduced herself. “Nagpapatrol, Karen Davila,” she announced, before immediately catching the error. Realizing she had used her own name, she quickly corrected herself by saying, “Ayyy… Karen de Guzman,” as the report began to play.

The official Instagram page of ABS-CBN News later shared a behind-the-scenes video showing the aftermath of the mistake. In the clip, staff members behind the camera can be heard laughing as Davila joins in on the fun. When asked what happened, the broadcaster explained that her brain simply went on autopilot. “Automatic na yung utak mo, my gosh, Karen de Guzman,” she said with a laugh, noting that her "muscle memory" took over during the live spiel.

The video prompted a wave of supportive and funny reactions from colleagues and fans alike. Kapamilya host Bianca Gonzalez joined in the fun by commenting, “You are literally the best DEAR,” referencing Davila’s iconic way of addressing people. Singer Vina Morales also chimed in, describing the moment as “so funny and so cute.” Karen Davila is widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in Philippine news and public affairs.

With a career spanning decades, she has served as a primary anchor for various flagship programs.

While other veteran journalists faced criticism for their involvement with the same source, Davila was praised for standing by her journalistic principles.

The lighthearted nature of her recent blooper serves as a reminder of her relatability despite her high-profile status. This humanizing moment is just one of many instances where the broadcaster has shared a glimpse of her personality beyond the news desk, much like her popular features on social media.

Netizens were thrilled when two of the biggest names in showbiz, Angelica Panganiban, appeared in an interview with Karen Davila. The discussions gave fans a deeper look into their personal lives and motherhood journeys. Both actresses shared candid stories that resonated with many viewers.
