On TikTok, the premier place for short-form mobile videos, good vibes and positivism abound. Anyone, including aunties and titas, can express themselves creatively and freely on this platform. In reality, titas and titas at heart make some of the most enjoyable comedy videos on TikTok.
While the word titas literally means “aunt” or “aunty” in English, the connotation of the word has changed with time. When women in their 20s and 30s imitate the qualities and actions of typical middle-aged Filipino aunts, they are referred to as titas, such as going out to brunch with their girlfriends, carrying enormous purses stuffed with tita basics like tissue, hand sanitizer, and mentholated balms, and drinking wine to relax at the end of the day.
So, who are these titas on TikTok who have been entertaining and sharing joy? Here are four of our personal favorites.
