News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In related news, two motorcycle riders were injured after being struck by a fallen section of an electronic billboard during Typhoon “Uwan”. The incident happened along Aurora Boulevard–Katipunan Service Road southbound around 9 a.m. on Monday. The victims were rushed to a nearby hospital with facial swelling, chest pain, and shoulder injuries.

Earlier, three people, including five-year-old twins, died in Nueva Vizcaya during the onslaught of Super Typhoon “Uwan”. The twins were buried alive in a landslide in Kayapa town, while three of their relatives were brought to a nearby hospital. Authorities suspect the third fatality also died due to a landslide, as most incidents in the province were caused by soil collapse.
