If you’re always scrolling through TikTok, you’ve probably heard the new remix of “Emergency Paging Dr. Beat” with a fun Filipino twist—budots! Budots is said to be a grassroots electronic dance music (EDM) genre that started in Davao City, Philippines.
“Emergency Paging Dr. Beat” has been a TikTok sensation, especially for the outfit transition trend. For the past few days, content creators and even pop star Olivia Rodrigo have been joining in on the fun! Let’s check them out!
OLIVIA RODRIGO

Olivia Rodrigo, who has Filipino heritage, caught the attention of her Filipino fans when she joined the outfit transition trend using this sound. It shook her Filipino followers, who never expected her to do something Filipino-related. Despite her intentions to just have fun with the trend, it may have sparked a wave of excitement and pride among her fans.
“Olivia using the budots sound, THAT’S A TRUE FILIPINO RIGHT THERE,” a fan commented.
NURSE JOHN
Filipino content creator ‘Nurse John’ also hopped on the trend! He added a comical mix to his skit with the caption on the video: “This trend but you’re a nurse working 4 consecutive 12-hour shifts.” Instead of nice outfits, he featured different scrubs and a very dark eyebag.
