‘Fafda’: PH gov’t’s ‘covfefe’?
A Philippine version of “covfefe?”
Netizens poked fun at a cryptic tweet sent by the official twitter account of the Office of the President of the Philippines on August 18, 2017.
The tweet, which simply read “fafda,” was tweeted on 1:07 p.m., and was repeatedly shared by confounded netizens.
