Several Filipino celebrities have been riding the wave of nostalgia as they join the viral online trend dubbed “2026 is the new 2016.”

The trend, which emerged at the start of the year, had social media users sharing throwback photos and videos from a decade ago—often paired with popular 2016-era filters, apps, and captions reflecting how quickly time has passed.

“Lived alone for the first time. Both Fofo and I were working a lot. We traveled so much even if it was just a day trip. Felt shy bare faced. Loved wearing makeup. We went to the beach sooooo much. It was also the year we started playing Pokemon Go and the first Pokemon we caught was a Rattata,” she shared.

Khalil Ramos

Actor Khalil Ramos humorously expressed disbelief at the fact that 2016 was already a decade ago, joking about turning 30 this year. His post drew a playful comment from girlfriend Gabbi Garcia.
