What is planking?
Planking is a prank that involves lying face down in a public place, with photos posted on social networking sites.
It was invented by two friends in Somerset who called it the Lying Down Game
But it also emerged later in Australia and was nicknamed planking.
It recently gained national attention in the Philippines when protesters "planked" on the streets as a sign of protest against the rising fuel prices.
The action prompted a congressman to file a bill in the Congress to ban planking, which ultimately became a trending online topic.
Since then, planking has been a part of every protest.
