8 Hilarious Local News-Turned-Memes in the Philippines That Made Our 2018

The year is almost ending, and no matter how challenging 2018 was, we did manage to get by thanks to memes we see on our newsfeed daily. Our thanks also to the local news in the Philippines for not disappointing by being the origin of the best memes we had this year. Although we don’t condone what’s done in most of the videos in this list, we surely had some good laugh at what the internet turned them into.

Before we say goodbye to the memes of 2018, let’s take a look back at our favorite ones that made us #ROFL this year.

Umiral ang kademonyohan ng aking kamay

Blame the possessed hands for his crime and this meme-able scene.

Wala kang kwentang kuya/kaklase

We all love our siblings, but sometimes it’s just difficult to get along. This also applies to our classmates and friends.

Obvious ba?

Never interrupt someone sleeping because, ‘Obvious ba?’ Be careful not to get burned.

Bakit ako matatakot?

Let this be your mantra when confessing to your bae. Just don’t challenge someone to a gun showdown, especially if that someone is the president of the Philippines.

PS: Drink moderately.

Wala na, finish na!

Rape is not a joke, but this man IS. And as for his freedom? ‘Wala na, finish na!’

Advance ako mag-isip

Admit it: we all think that way even before Albert Mangapit a.k.a. ‘Advance ako mag-isip’ guy made the local news and coined the phrase in the Philippines.

Malakas ang guardian angel ko sa likod & Battousai

Christmas wish list: this man’s guardian angel to protect ourselves from Kenshin Himura a.k.a. Battousai-wannabe.

Paano mo nasabi?

Who would forget this infamous scene? In fairness, we got a lot of meme-worthy materials out of this guy. Here’s our personal favorite.

We hope to see more meme-worthy news from local news in the Philippines next year! But in the light of how these people are basically delinquents and criminals, we also hope that justice is still served with due process and information is made available with proper reportage.
