00:00It's not too much.
00:02Because I feel like I thought this was 8 or 9 years in the game.
00:05So if you don't say earlier, I'm probably going to pressure.
00:08But I'm not at this point of concentration.
00:10I'm just enjoying it.
00:12If you can relate, you can relate.
00:14If you want to load it, it's okay.
00:17What does this award mean to you?
00:19I'd say validation.
00:21Especially because I don't...
00:23I don't want to claim it.
00:24But people tell me that I'm one of those creators
00:27that they have granted new skits.
00:29So I think that is such a validation.
00:32And there is a space for skits like those.
00:34And of course, I would be honest,
00:36brand partnerships is one of the ways
00:38that we earn as content creators.
00:40And I hope that this one is for other creators as well.
00:42They could do skits to take something out
00:44at the same time that is granted.
00:46Would you consider ba na pagiging content creator
00:49isang responsibility?
00:50Of course it is.
00:51It's a responsibility, especially when it is by digital footprint.
00:54The internet really opened a lot of doors for everyone.
00:57People with good thoughts, with bad thoughts.
01:00So I think, as audience, it's also our responsibility
01:03to filter whatever we see and hear online.
01:06Advice ka lang sa mga...
01:07Parang ipinapayot.
01:11Sorry.
01:12Advice ka lang sa mga...
01:13Sorry.
01:13Advice ka lang sa mga...
01:13Advice ka lang sa mga...
01:13Advice ka lang sa mga...
01:14Find your niche.
01:16Ang daming daming ways kung paano magpasayanan tao
01:19and to inspire other people.
01:20Don't go dun sa route na madali.
01:22Like reach dating or doing something negative
01:25because alam mo may magrere ako ay manonood.
01:27That is the easiest way to be viral.
01:31But for me, you have to dig your way through your talent
01:35and kung ano ba tala yung gusto mong gawin sa inspire other people
01:37and what you actually enjoy.
01:39Fun question lang.
01:40Mahirap pa maging sikat?
01:42Sa akin hindi.
01:43Because I rarely go out.
01:45Kung napapansin nyo, I don't do skips outside.
01:47I only do it sa studio...
01:49Oh, sa condo ko.
01:51So okay naman.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Ito na yung pinaka-sacrifice na pwede kong gawin.
01:55Siguro yung sa mali ng Invencibles name ako.
01:57Nalaka...
01:58I-artop niya lahat sa akin.
01:59I-edit ko ko na bago niya ilabas.
02:01How do you advise sa mga...
02:02As far?
02:03Kaya nasabi ko?
02:05No, okay lang.
02:06Kaya nang tumatok mo sa kayo sa akin.
02:07Sige.
02:08Sige.
02:10Sige.
02:12Anong tumatok mo sa isip mo ngayon?
02:14I was really...
02:16Sorry.
02:16I'm really happy.
02:17I'm really happy.
02:18I feel validated.
02:21Gusto ko lang sabihin sa lahat na sumuporta sa akin.
02:24Kasi honestly, I'm not one of those creators na may raving fans.
02:28They are casual viewers.
02:29But I'm so proud to say that my supporters are the kind of supporters na nag-iisip.
02:33And they are actually happy with their lives.
02:36To not overly fanboy over a creator like me.
02:39They just watch what I do online, they enjoy, and then they go back to their lives.
02:43That's how I want my supporters to be.
02:45Anong secret?
02:46Paano hindi ka i-consume ng pagiging creator mo at ma-maintain mo yung buhay mo outside being a creator?
02:51For me kasi talaga, I have a filter.
02:54I have a wall.
02:55If you notice, I do a lot of content pa ron.
02:59It's hits.
03:00Those are stories that I create.
03:01I rarely upload things about my personal life.
03:04Aside sa boring na may edutong buhay ko,
03:06Gusto ko lang mag-focus yung tao sa stories na sigusulat ko,
03:09and not about their personal life.
03:10So I think that's something that could help me
03:11separate their personal life and content creation.
03:14A joke lang naka-angat sya daw.
03:16Oo.
03:17So joke lang, wala ba namin ko ba?
03:18Magta-taas ka ba ng rain?
03:20Hindi, hindi.
03:21Hindi na kasi napirmahan na yung kundrata.
03:24At sya ka na notaryo na ng lawyers.
03:26Hindi na bwede.
03:27But kidding aside, wala namang gan.
03:30For the punch life.
03:32May plans ko ba kaya to transition to my trip?
03:34Yeah.
03:35For now, wala.
03:37Kasi nai-enjoy ko yung solace ko si content creator.
03:41At sya ka, ang dami na magagaling sa mainstream.
03:44So, ayun.
03:45For you sir, content creation pa,
03:47is it a viable professional career na pa?
03:51Yes, I think.
03:51Yeah, it is.
03:52I started this one as a passion
03:54but then as soon as we realized
03:55I could turn it into a business.
03:57But kasi it really depends eh.
03:58Parang you really have to commit to it.
03:59It's not something na parang one hit.
04:02May one hit ka na video
04:03and then tulip tulip tulip na siya.
04:04It's really another form of discipline.
04:06Like any other jobs.
04:07Mahirap naman lahat ng trabaho.
04:09But you just have to choose your heart.
04:10If that makes sense.
04:12Should the motivation jump ba?
04:14Nabi sa kong puni ka?
04:15Or dapat pa ano mo lang passionate?
04:17It really depends.
04:19It really depends eh.
04:20It really depends eh.
04:20Ayy, bumawi eh.
04:21Kasi umulit yung passion na kanin mo.
04:22Hindi.
04:23Parang makana yung question mo.
04:24It really depends.
04:25Parang for me, action creates the motivation.
04:27So, may ipahing ginagawa ito for money.
04:29Why not?
04:30Especially living in this country,
04:32survival mode tayo everyday.
04:34So, I really don't judge other people
04:35who create it for money.
04:37But, siguro for people like me
04:39who create it sa passion nila,
04:41then patuloy lang.
04:42It can be hard.
05:12So, literally dogs话 kawarr hurry.
05:15You have a pyl
05:16I guarantee you,
