There’s a lot to be angry about our country’s administration so when ‘IsangTaong Kademonyohan’ appeared as a trending topic on Twitter, everyone’s thought immediately went to Duterte. It turns out that it isn’t even about the government at all.
It’s the perfect bait and switch as Twitter users searched for ‘IsangTaong Kademonyohan’ thinking that there were new memes about the government, and were only led to tweets from fans of an idol sister group called MNL48.
GAGO I SAW "IsangTaong Kademonyohan" AND THOUGHT ITS ABOUT PDUTS 😭😭😭
