Everyone and their mother wanted to know what umbrella brand these Adamson University students were using. If it could weather gale-force winds and still make it out alive, it must be worth the bag space!

UST students fighting for their lives

There’s a reason Tomasians call it the Aquatic University of the Philippines.

Barangay outing!

Everyone’s invited to this Hagonoy, Bulacan barangay’s outing. They’ve busted out the floaters for kids, the rafts for adults, and do we spy inihaw? Such a classic!

Of course, Pinoys won’t miss hosting games. If you’ve got a street that fills into an Olympic-sized pool that only happens a few days a year, you’d take advantage of it too!

Itaas paa

POV: The manong tricycle driver asks you to put your feet up so your it won’t get wet but now your shorts are soaked. At least your shoes are dry.

This water filter on TikTok was fun when it was only a filter. IRL? Not as fun, but we Pinoys still take it on with a smile.

Animals swimming
