Anti-Planking Law in Philippines is making trends worldwide in Twitter.
Planking is a global trend where individuals would lie on their bellies on just about any surface pretending to be a plank of wood, may well have spread like wildfire all in the spirit of fun.
According to GMA News, just a few hours after news broke out that Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo has filed a bill called the "Anti-Planking Act of 2011," Pinoy social media users were quick to the draw in pointing out their opinion of the proposed measure. Planking is now being used in some public protest and in justifying the measure, Castelo said in a statement that "unbelieving bus drivers and law enforcement authorities might just ram through these warm and living bodies rolled out on highways."
