Filipino Gen-Z slang began to be influenced by American and British slang. Words like "swag" (coolness), "yolo" (you only live once), and "twerk" became popular, and they were often used in conjunction with Filipino words and phrases.π Late 2000s and early 2010s
Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter became increasingly popular in the Philippines. This led to the rise of new Filipino Gen-Z slang words that were specifically designed for online use. Words like "for today's videow", "dogshow", and "naur" became popular during this time.π 2010s and beyond
