Hamilton composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda just had the cutest and funniest Filipino conversation on Twitter with music genius Lea Salonga.
Apparently, Lin-Manuel sent Lea a tweet way back in 2014. On the old tweet, he expressed how much he loved Lea’s performance on a video while also saying that he didn’t know who the other guys were. His tweet included a link to the video.
DUDE PARE, @MsLeaSalonga I don’t know who these other guys are but you sound amazing mahal kita minamahal kita https://t.co/0YLEDJhiNN

Three years after, Lea replied to Lin-Manuel’s tweet. She said that the link isn’t working anymore.
@Lin_Manuel Dude, pare, just tried clicking the link and I see nothing. What video is this of?

Lin-Manuel funnily replied how old the tweet and video were.
@MsLeaSalonga Dude pare that’s from 3 YEARS AGO!

Lea took the time to find the video and asked Lin-Manuel back.
@Lin_Manuel Dude, is it this one? https://t.co/BXz4h9Ofvq

Lin-Manuel said yes adding, “Ang bait mo!”
@MsLeaSalonga Yes dood! Ang bait mo!

Fans like us were giggling over their cute convo. One even suggested teaching Lin-Manuel newer Filipino terms aside from “dude pare” like “besh, beshie, mams, and mamshie”.
LOL!
