Online seller calls prospective buyer ‘tagaligpit ng plato’

The recipient’s post made others recall the seller’s past candid remarks.

An online seller is under fire for allegedly insulting a prospective buyer who asked about a wedding dress, prompting other netizens to share accounts of getting candid remarks from the shop.

Threads user Bea Uy called out TikTok’s Jaiven Online Shop for allegedly hurling insults in response to what she described as a normal inquiry.

During a livestream on Oct. 16, the seller read out Uy’s question about possible attire for a wedding guest.

“May pink long dress po pang-attend [ng] wedding?” the seller said, supposedly reading Uy’s comment.

The seller eventually offered a pink long gown, but not without a side comment: “Ano ka doon, Bea? Tagaligpit ng plato? Taga-ano? Anong ganap?”

Uy called out the seller in a Threads post on the same day. In the replies, other netizens shared similar experiences with the shop owner.

One user said she asked the store about dresses for pregnant women, and the seller allegedly insulted her.

“She replied, ‘Manganak ka muna bago porma porma, paghanapin mo pa ako suotin mo,’ tapos tawa na siya nang tawa. Like WTF??? Umexit na lang ako kasi ayokong makain niya good energy ko,” the user said.

TikTok lists Jaiven Online Shop’s address as Lucena City in Quezon. Amid the backlash, the shop owner has since hidden all posts on her TikTok account.

A reverse image search, however, showed the account apparently belongs to a certain Josephine “Fheng” Magbanua, who operates a Shopee storefront selling similar dresses and apparel. The account also sells on Facebook via the page UKAY NI Fhenggay. It also previously ran another TikTok-based store called Krest Online Shop.

Magbanua has public TikTok and Instagram accounts where she posts clips from her live-selling sessions. In one clip from October 2025, she responds to a viewer asking about beach dresses with a remark about the weather and incoming storms.

“Beach dress, Ariana? Naglililindol pa, ang dami pang papasok na bagyo, pang-beach naman ang hinahanap mo?” the seller said.

Other users also shared screen recordings of remarks they recalled from the seller’s livestreams.

Some netizens suggested that such remarks may be intended to attract views and generate viral attention, while others saw them as jokes or attempts to lighten the mood.

Still, many criticized the approach, saying such comments can come across as disrespectful of customers.
