Filipina sisters make it to PH top tweets in 2019
Here's why Brianna and Samantha Rubia's posts have become the most retweeted in the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – 2019 was a good year for the Filipino Twittersphere – especially for the Rubia sisters.

On Tuesday, December 10, Twitter Philippines released a thread of the year’s top highlights on the social platform. A pair of Filipina sisters made it to this year’s top tweets.

Brianna Rubia’s tweet of her parents was 2019’s most-liked and most-retweeted post in the Philippines. She tweeted a video of her parents swooning and cheering as her sister Samantha sang “Part of Your World” from Disney’s A Little Mermaid.

Amused users replied to Brianna’s tweet, praising her parents for how supportive they were, and, of course, making memes out of the video.

One of Samantha’s own tweets also went viral, and eventually became the most retweeted with comments for 2019. Her tweet shows her trying to win her crush over by pretending to have allergies and singing immediately after.

Lots of other Twitter users were quick to make their own versions (and parodies) of Samantha’s tweet.
