This challenge went viral throughout the social media starting month of July, and some Filipino celebrities are engaged in the ALS Association and some are in the Motor Neuron Disease Association. From 2013 to early 2014, this unknown origin is often called "COLD WATER CHALLEGE".

In the Middle of 2014, as it went viral to a social media's it became a "pop culture phenomenon", particularly in the United states with the numerous celebrities, athletes and politicians some of people are maybe even have a hysterical laughter with this challenge, they focusing primarily on fun but rather than donating on a charity but some that are suffering from this disease is taking this situation seriously because they believe that this won't take long, they still hoping that they may be healed from this disease.
