The word 'Ostrich' became the top trending topic on Twitter Philippines after two ostriches were caught on camera running around a subdivision in Quezon City on August 5.
After the video went viral, singer-songwriter Rico Blanco shared an artwork he made 15 years ago that showed an ostrich walking around the city.
“When I painted this 15 years ago, I was simply going for 'surreal,'” he wrote in his Instagram post.
“Times have changed.”
