MANILA, Philippines — “RIP Facebook” became a trending topic on Twitter Monday night after a number of users seemed to be having trouble logging in to the popular social networking site.

Facebook users see this message upon logging in: “Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes.”

Users of the social network who are already logged in cannot seem to post status messages, photos and other stuff. The chat service remains to be functioning though.

As of posting, RIP Facebook is on the third spot of the top trending topics on Twitter in the Philippines. Don Lejano
