Tolentino continues his vlogger experience sharing: “As a co-owner of three entertainment bars (Apollo, Club 690, Fahrenheit), creativity and content are the best ingredients you must input to pique the interest and arouse the curiosity of your viewers who eventually become subscribers. Since the start of my vlog, I make it a point to read the good comments, even the nastier ones. Each comment has something to say, and you unearth from them gems of ideas. These ideas inspire me to come out with exciting and relevant content. And I believe that with the impressive numbers that we have reached in a short period of time, I am giving our growing audiences happiness and good vibes. I am overwhelmed and grateful for all their love and support.”
He carries on: “There is a bigger advocacy here, I want to bring the people together, to collaborate, to work in harmony, and offer all innovative forms of entertainment, In the nearest future, part of my dream is to realize convention wherein the participants are all the popular and positive influencers in the different social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Lyka, Facebook. This coming together convention of the digital universe’s crème dela crème will surely a big step in assessing our strengths, where have we gone so far, what else do we want to achieve in the realm of social media, and how we can become more responsible in using the medium in bringing concrete changes that will have beneficial effects to all.”
When all is well, Tolentino’s major plan: “Next year, THE PHILIPPINES INFLUENCER AWARDS 2021 is already in the pipeline. This is for all the press, media, and vloggers.”
