Hello, I am Francis Lucky Emmanuel I. Del Mundo. I am a Computer Science student studying at Mapua Malayan Colleges Mindanao. I like playing games and scrolling social media platforms. As a chronically online person, I am very interested in pop culture, especially in the Philippines.

I enjoy Filipino memes, OPM, local YouTubers, Dota, and BINI. Among all the interests I think I am very interested in Pinoy memes, because of their facets when it comes to humor.

I would like to highlight the memes in Philippine Culture in my Padlet. Memes are known to be funny but some memes don't hit as hard as other memes but nonetheless they are still funny. Memes can be in the form of an image, gif, video or text. The reason why I would like to highlight memes is because of its versatile nature. The potential of memes are endless because the subject matter of memes are what people think of, and those ideas spring from experiences or current affairs. Since Filipinos think the Filipino way the memes we create are very close to our culture. Some memes are pointless, some memes are very political, but their purpose is to make something funny.

Semiotic Theory suggests that signs and symbols can have multiple meanings, leading to interpretations. Social media is a hub for information sharing, with Filipino memes often based on recent events or experiences. These memes can be satirical or spread awareness, sometimes transcending their original subject. For example, the "Demono sa Kamay ko" meme, its context is that he molested girls in the Jeep he was in, but it has since been repurposed for various meanings, ending up neglecting its initial context. The recycling of memes can be useful to facilitate discussions by setting up friendly banter or having that ‘right picture at the right time’ moment.

Due to its popularity and use Filipino memes can affect how we deal with some aspects in our lives, specifically with how we communicate. The memes can serve as a common ground between strangers, because bonding experience in this day and age is typically through shared knowledge of memes. Regardless of the meme’s original context, this is not a bad idea of course having a light hearted topic as a common ground is better than none. Not only that but memes can also spark discussions in more serious subjects, with memes that are made out of those subjects. By suggesting different interpretations people think and draw a different meaning based on the meme that may be beneficial for the discussion.
