Here are the top tweets in Twitter Philippines this 2020


What better way to have a rundown of 2020 than a year in review by Twitter?

The social media app has revealed the most unforgettable moments on its platform this year — posts that made people laugh or shed a tear or get enraged, posts that touched their hearts, and posts that made them say, "Banger!"

From a video of a singing boy to quotes that will help you through the day, here are the tweets that will undoubtedly make you go, "Wait that was this year?"

1. Sam Smith's post about a young Pinoy singer

 

 

Who could forget the young Filipino boy who was singing Sam Smith's "Too Good At Goodbyes" in a public karaoke like no one's business?

The singer's post about the phenomenal kid is this year's top retweet and most liked tweet in the Philippines, according to Twitter.

"WHO IS THIS KID!!!!!? YOU ARE OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE WHOEVER YOU ARE," Smith wrote.

The viral singer turned out to be Carl Montecido aka Steven Clarcson. He hails from Bacolod and he was actually among the top 64 finalists of the second season of GMA's singing competition "The Clash."

In an interview with Nelson Canlas on "24 Oras," Smith said they would love to do a duet with Carl if there would be an opportunity.

"He is incredible. He is a better singer than I am. I’ll be so scared singing with him. He’s unbelievable," they said.

2. The insane catfishing incident

 

 

 

Here's an unbelievable story from Jzan Tero. Remember that "I got catfished" thread that had everybody up in arms?

Apparently, it's Twitter's most quote retweeted post this year as netizens expressed their outrage and support for the victim.

3. Body positivity and motivating tweets

 

 

Filipinos also used the platform to promote body positivity among Filipino women. According to Twitter, this tweet got a lot of engagement from Pinoy users.

4. Inspiring art and touching words

We all need a little pick-me-up now and then.

Luckily, there are some really kind people on Twitter who remind us that we are not alone.

 

 

For example, this adorably drawn snail reminded people not to be too hard on themselves.

Another Twitter user meanwhile tweeted, "I PRAY, MY FRIENDS GET THROUGH THE BATTLES THAT THEY DON'T TELL ME ABOUT."
