Even during times of disasters and calamities, Filipinos still find the humor to lift up their spirit.
The hashtag #WeSwimAsOne trended both on Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday amid heavy rainfall brought by Typhoon ‘Tisoy’.
Netizens dedicated the hashtag to the employees who are still advised to report for work despite the weather.
Twitter user Tito Maroon wished them luck today.
“Best of luck to the members of the Philippine Company Employee Team as they compete in their aquatics event today papasok sa office. Bring home the Golden Hazard Pay!” he wrote on his tweet.
Another Twitter user Shealea Aral tweeted, “Other countries during typhoons: Stay indoors! Stay safe! Stock up on food & emergency supplies! Philippines during typhoons: #WeSwimAsOne”.
Memes were also being shared with the quote, “Ulan ka lang, Empleyado kami.”
Only government offices and other public offices have announced the suspension of work.
