LOOK: Celebs, brands join in on the now-viral ‘Yeah, I get it… Need pa bang picturan’ trend
The “Yeah, I get. Gagraduate ang anak, but the point is need pa bang picturan” meme has lit up social media.
The meme started when the now-deactivated Facebook user Merlinda Barlis commented on VP Leni Robredo’s post that showed her daughter Jillian at her baccalaureate at New York University (NYU). Since then, netizens put their own spin on the comment, with a ton of copypasta in between.
Here’s how celebrities and brands made their versions of the meme on the internet:
On Instagram, Saab Magalona shared a cute snap of her kids, Pancho and Vito, where she referenced the meme.
Actor and entrepreneur Richard Juan looked back on his college days at UP Diliman, sharing a series of throwback photos. “Yes I get it, graduate ng UP but the point is need pa bang picturan? Me: Yes, collage ko pa,” he wrote.
