Kara David receives Death Note replica from UP Diliman faculty

Broadcast journalist Kara David received a "Death Note" replica from her colleague Ronin Bautista, a faculty member at UP Diliman, presented during a class.

The gift is a playful nod to David's viral birthday wish that corrupt politicians in the Philippines would "die."

The "Death Note" is a fictional notebook from a popular manga and anime series where writing a name results in death.

Netizens humorously reacted to the gift, linking it to David's viral birthday wish and commenting about adding names to the notebook.

David's birthday video, where she made the wish, has gained 33 million views on Facebook amid ongoing corruption issues concerning flood-control projects.

David currently hosts the documentary show "I-Witness" and the infotainment program "Pinas Sarap."
