Do you still remember the good old days?
Filipinos are revealing their “core memories” by sharing their most memorable childhood stories through a microblogging platform’s feature.
Twitter users are reminiscing their favorite childhood games, Pinoy food and fast food chain go-tos by telling their stories on threads.
For instance, some fans of P-pop girl group BINI are highlighting different games in the latter’s choreography for the song “Pit-A-Pat.”
The thread includes snippets of their performance creatively incorporating dance steps attributed to every child’s favorite games like “Mataya-taya,” “Nanay-Tatay,” “Tagu-taguan,” “Ten-twenty,” “Sipa,” “Doktor Kwak-kwak,” “Bubuka ang Bulaklak,” “Bahay-bahayan,” “Bato-bato-pik,” and “Luksong Tinik.”

Some are using the platform to inspire others to reach out to those they have hurt or belittled in their past.
“It can definitely bring closure and heal the both of you. It may have been years or even decades ago but it’s never too late to say sorry,” a Twitter user said, sharing screenshots of a grade school classmate.
