Why did the ostrich cross the road? So you could tweet about it

In the middle of MECQ madness, a couple of ostriches decided to add to the chaos by running around a village in Quezon City.

Serious tweets.

Owning an ostrich is legal. You can just go to a breeder and buy one, pretty much like buying a chicken or a duck. They really should pass a law or something because obviously ang layo ng size difference ng chicken sa ostrich. An ostrich chick costs around 25k-30k also ?

"..the ostrich attempted to escape due to stress and being deprived of all liberties." Our mood this 2020. https://t.co/c0HUmpY5Ql

Then of course, there are sobering tweets.

I’m glad we had a good laugh at the Ostrich, but the stolen P15 Billion pesos from Philhealth, allegedly by its execom members should be today’s biggest news. ?? pic.twitter.com/IyE4eojRF1

We have our eyes on the missing money and we are holding the line. But we are also grateful for the momentary distraction our fine feathered friends brought us today. We all need a laugh.
