“Mag-intrams sa Intramuros.”
Witty Facebook events with wordplay on people or places are suddenly taking over the timelines of online users in the Philippines.
Seemingly a successor of the viral “Suntukan sa Ace Hardware” gag in 2016, random “events” created for fun have been popping up online for the past weeks.
