Lastly, Filipinos connect inwards by means of me-time, self-care activities, and introspection to know themselves more. Filipinos also got creative in adding interesting elements in their daily life at home. Within the walls of their homes, Filipinos journeyed into renovating their space, decluttering their stuff, and diving deeper to assess their learnings and reflect on other realizations in life.

Filipinos bring gold in art, sports, and entertainment
A lot has happened in a year, and Filipinos on Twitter explored various topics to make sure they are connected with the latest among the community. This year, we see how diverse communities gather on Twitter, from fandom, gaming, and even finance buffs.
Hashtags such as #artph showed how Filipino artists and enthusiasts remain a strong force on Twitter. Meanwhile, connecting to Filipino roots and pride also emerged due to our podium finish in sporting events, and when a Filipino starred in the global Netflix hit, #SquidGame. In music, P-Pop is in full spotlight thanks to emerging P-pop groups and their growing fanbase.

Filipino Pop culture dominates the conversation

The boom of cryptocurrency in the Philippines
There will always be one breakthrough topic or moment each year. Conversation about cryptocurrency went on the rise in the Philippines. The concept is fairly new for most Filipinos, but it drew interest as seen on the use of hashtags such as #bitcoin, #crypto, and #nft. The skyrocket rise of cryptocurrency and related conversations was also seen on the emergence of accounts that are solely focused on crypto. In the Philippines, many have connected with Bunnie (@bunniefied), Ayu (@jiims), and Wat (@kuyawat).

Excitement unleashed through emojis
Though Filipinos kept tabs on international sporting events through digital screens, the distance did not stop them from expressing their excitement as the game unfolds. Most used emojis this year showed our golden moment and how it gathered and connected Filipinos together, with the flexed biceps emoji representing strength especially in weightlifting, along with the trophy and medal emojis.
