This video by PaperbugTV was both relevant and funny, as it showed the &#8220;five presidentiables&#8221; doing the #RunningManChallenge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the earliest challenges that came out of nowhere was the <a href=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/2016\/05\/02\/trending-what-is-runningmanchallenge-2\/\">Running Man Challenge<\/a>. Set to the tune of Ghost Town DJs\u2019 \u201cMy Boo,\u201d it involved performing a version of the Running Man, a dance move taken from the 90s. A lot of versions came out, but perhaps the most relevant one was made by PaperbugTV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mannequin Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5flvjytubjg<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>FREEZE. Literally, you have to freeze for the #MannequinChallenge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably the last challenge for the year, but it still made an impact in the country as almost everyone was doing it: normal people, celebrities, and our featured video: members of the First Scout Ranger Regiment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trumpets Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=723-QSG35BM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>MADE YOUR TRUMPETS BLOW. The Phenomenal Love Team grooved to this one, but this video might come in at a close second.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one challenge that really took off, especially in <a href=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/2016\/06\/26\/listicle-5-trending-topics-in-the-philippines-so-far\/\">mid-2016<\/a>. The Trumpets Challenge involves dancing to the beat of Spanish DJs Sak Noel and Salvi\u2019s \u201cTrumpets\u201d. Several versions were made by Filipinos all over the country, though this one by power couple AlDub probably takes the cake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottle Flip Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ipN2z65UWmA<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>NO ATTEMPTS. We didn&#8217;t spot anyone famous trying it, but this game has gone to lengths no other game of its kind has gone to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This one you didn\u2019t see that much of on TV, but the bottle flip challenge definitely went viral not just in the Philippines, but across the world. In fact, it\u2019s gone viral so much that it spawned a <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.mostplayed.flippybottle\">mobile game<\/a> made by local developer Most Played Games with at least 5,000,000 downloads on Google Play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bean Boozled Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/dBHPnUU9Hw8<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>WARNING: EXPLETIVES AHEAD.
