It all started with the Philippines hosting the Miss Universe pageant in 2017. Publishing a barrage of humorous tweets referencing the pageant, today’s premiere Filipino Facebook entertainment page Filipino Tweets that Matter (FTTM), was founded on January 30, 2017.
FTTM initially opened its doors to the Facebook community with the aim of giving every Filiipino netizen a well-deserved break from serious content. With such purpose and direction, the FTTM team has been doubling its efforts to curate and showcase Filipino humor within Twitter’s capacity of 280 characters or fewer.
Growth of the page has become more visible after a popular fast food restaurant released a groundbreaking series of web commercials in February. With the community picking it up, FTTM published a special album of memes inspired by it. Just two full months after the foundation of the page, with the continuing interest from the public, FTTM has reached a new milestone — a community of a million people.
Up to date, FTTM remains on top of the Filipino netizens by heart and numbers and has fully uncovered its network to the public by giving access to submissions. Nightly at 10 o’clock in Philippine Standard Time, FTTM opens its twitter inbox (DM) to accept tweets that may be reviewed for posting. The page's team can be reached on Twitter and Instagram by its official handle @FTTMph while inquiries, recommendations, and counter reports are encouraged to be sent to hello@fttm.ph.

Our team has approached Miss Cielo Alegre, who is currently based in Adelaide, South Australia, and asked for her statement on her buzzed encounter.
“I am from Legazpi City but I have been working in Australia for 2.5 years. I am an auditor so “Engagement Partner” is actually a job title that we use for our big bosses. I am just glad that people learned something from me. I am aware that there have been people still arguing about the correct answer but I believe most people ...were satisfied from what I posted because that doesn’t sound too formal. Twitter account ko po talaga yun guys. So to wrap it up, ang tinatanong po talaga sakin dito pag walang previous question is “where do you fit in your family?” Yung birth order pwede din pero medyo formal kasi sya for conversational english. So finish na patahimikin nyo na ako. Haha,” her statement reads.
