All it takes is a strong WiFi signal, a little courage, and plenty of creativity. That’s how three of today’s most popular Filipino content creators turned everyday moments at home into booming online communities.
Food creator Ninong Ry, gaming streamer Suzzysaur, and singer-songwriter Maki are the faces of PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid’s new campaign “Hall of Fame,” which trains the spotlight on Filipinos who transformed passion into meaningful profession.
For Ninong Ry, it all began when the pandemic shut down the poultry stall he ran with his mother in Malabon. With nothing much to do, he began filming himself cooking in their small kitchen.
“I was uploading content every day, consistently,” he said. “The biggest challenge in becoming a successful content creator isn’t just staying real or creative, it’s staying consistent.”
His down-to-earth humor and approachable recipes quickly won millions of followers who felt like they were cooking right beside him.
Suzzysaur’s story began in college, when she started streaming to cover her own expenses. Over time, her candid gaming moments and honest glimpses of daily life drew an audience that stayed with her as she took on new roles: CEO, wife, and mother to a four-year-old daughter.
“My husband and I have our own setups in separate rooms because we both have meetings and streams,” she said. “As a content creator, a CEO, and a mom, the kind of reliability and the customer support that PLDT Home provides help me fulfill my many roles.”
She has since gone from financing her education to helping her parents support her siblings through school.
Then there’s Maki, who started by recording covers from his bedroom and uploading them online.
“From recording in my bedroom to sharing my music online, I found the courage to chase my dream of becoming a recording artist,” he said. His music soon climbed the streaming charts, proving that talent and a steady internet connection can turn humble beginnings into chart success.
The campaign was launched with PLDT Home executives John Y. Palanca (Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business – Home), Roy Victor E. Añonuevo (Vice President and Head of Home Fixed Broadband), and Ina Pineda (Vice President and Head of Home Marketing Communications), who joined the three creators to introduce the Fiber Prepaid brand.
“Filipinos have the innate talent and drive to turn big dreams into reality,” Palanca said. “Ninong Ry, Suzzysaur, and Maki show us that technology is at its best when it empowers and enables you to succeed in life. With PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid, we’re giving Filipinos the speed, reliability, and flexibility to pursue their passions—whether it’s producing online content, streaming music, learning, or upskilling. All it takes is a reliable connection and the courage to begin.”
The product itself aims to make fiber internet more accessible, offering speeds of up to 50 Mbps with no contracts or monthly bills. For a one-time fee of P999, users get seven days of unlimited fiber and can simply load again when needed.
