Long before VSCO was proclaimed king of photo-editing apps, Instagram’s default borders and filters were not only acceptable but were actually pretty cool. Truth be told, even our local celebrities seemed to think so. If you still don't believe us, how about we take a digital stroll down memory lane? Below, check out their very first IG uploads:
Kathryn Bernardo
First IG post: 194 weeks ago
The Teen Queen’s first ever IG snap was with child star Bugoy Carino. Evidently, other than her appreciation for cute little kiddos, she also had a thing for Nashville filter and its corresponding border.
Kim Chiu
First IG post: 187 weeks ago
Remember when this chinita princess introduced her stallion friend, Lagunara, to her followers? He must be really special to Kim given that it was her very first Instagram upload.
Anne Curtis
First IG post: 227 weeks ago
Being a foodie that she is, Anne’s first snap was her “brekky in bed” – bordered and edited using the high contrast Hefe filter.
Bea Alonzo
First IG post: 197 weeks ago
Want to cop Bea’s first ever #selfie upload? Unfortunately, Instagram’s Toaster filter has already been phased out.
Nadine Lustre
First IG post: 115 weeks ago
The first on Nadine’s to-do list when she signed up on Instagram? To send her followers a virtual kiss!
Kim Jones
First IG post: 245 weeks ago
Miss Jones is well known for her colorful and meticulously-curated grid. But lo and behold, her first upload – a bordered photo of an adorable little girl, edited using the Toaster filter.
Erich Gonzales
First IG post: 151 weeks ago
Her Instagram feed may now be flooded with cheezy moments shared with her boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga, but her first snap ever was a selfie with her one-time leading man, Mario Maurer.
Georgina Wilson
First IG post: 212 weeks ago
As if we need more proof of their friendship, we discovered that Georgina's first post on Instagram was with her “bestie” Solenn Heussaff. Aww!
Julia Barretto
First IG post: 220 weeks ago
Also a fan of bordered images and Instagram’s old Toaster filter, Julia’s first upload was this edited photo of her mom while cooking in the kitchen.
Coleen Garcia
First IG post: 194 weeks ago
Did you know that Coleen was a Pond’s girl, too? Yup, this poster of her was the first snap she shared on Instagram - in Brannan filter and with a black border, no less.
