Sometimes, all it takes is a random word… said twice.</p><p>Fans have long noticed Maja’s habit of repeating certain words or phrases, especially when she’s being playful or simply caught in one of her naturally funny moments. It’s not always what she says that’s funny—it’s the timing, expression, and the way she delivers it that makes the repetition instantly hilarious.</p><p>It’s a little quirk that has popped up in her interviews, casual conversations, and personal videos over the years, becoming part of the charm fans recognize in her.</p><p>And maybe repetition just comes naturally to Maja. After all, she has a song called Dahan-Dahan, with lyrics that play with repetition too. So when it comes to her humor, apparently it&#x27;s ulit-ulit.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@hzaiah_/video/7328032231430049030" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7328032231430049030" id="v46346630281827336" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v46346630281827336" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7328032231430049030?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-20T06%3A11%3A08.010785%3A1e31b1c5-1ef7-4344-89b5-a13297c13a1e%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:724px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:724px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@majinglez/video/7430824722109107472" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7430824722109107472" id="v26683500112132384" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v26683500112132384" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7430824722109107472?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-20T06%3A11%3A08.010785%3A1e31b1c5-1ef7-4344-89b5-a13297c13a1e%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:724px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:724px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@najaslvdr_/video/7332058046450961670" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7332058046450961670" id="v95446684330247260" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v95446684330247260" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7332058046450961670?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-20T06%3A11%3A08.010785%3A1e31b1c5-1ef7-4344-89b5-a13297c13a1e%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:724px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:724px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Dahan-Dahan lang Maja Maja, we heard you the first time!</p><p>Let’s see if we’ll catch another iconic repeated word or line from her in <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/someone-someday"><strong><u>Someone, Someday.</u></strong></a></p>
