'Hugot lines' amid stormy weather draw laughs online

The Filipino humor is waterproof.

 

With Metro Manila and large parts of Luzon under stormy skies the past few days, "hugot lines" about love and the weather became a hit among Filipino netizens.

Each of the tweets garnered more than a thousand likes and retweets. A screenshot of the posts was posted on Facebook and when viral as well, getting nearly 13,000 likes and more than a thousand shares some two hours after being posted.
