You should definitely watch these YouTubers if you want to get into modern Filipino culture but still want to have fun learning.
Paulol
Paolo Garcia’s channel is relatively new but huge. His personality is vibrant and generally, he handles sensitive content respectfully and explains things in an eloquent manner. Paolo is best known for creating meme reactions, video game commentary, and vlogs on events in the Philippines. My favourite videos from him are ‘MY HEART WENT OOPS (PAG TIKTOK KA, TISSUE KA!)’ and ‘DOC ADAM, PAUMANHIN sa IBANG PINOY VLOGGERS’.
CongTV
Lincoln Velasquez is an OG youtube channel that probably every Filipino who watches youtube knows about. He has a comedic personality and makes bombastic content. Lincoln is best known for making music, short parodies and sketches, and vlogs. My favourite videos from him are ‘Cong TV — USAPANG SHABU’ and ‘Foreign reaction channel be like..’
PhilipPipino
This youtube channel is very new but I predict that it will continue to grow in size just because its content is really humorous. All his videos feature his unique brand of comedy and his editing and compiling skills are top-notch. He is best known for making lists, edited parodies of media, and overdramatised content based on real-life events. My favourite videos from him are ‘Top 10 Overpowered Filipino Characters’ and ‘Memes galing sa kwarto ni tito’.
Super Bayani
Super Bayani is an extremely new channel but it has made so much content already relative to the type of content. His videos feature, again, a really unique style of humour involving fiction and non-fiction icons in the Philippines. Super Bayani is best known for making short animations and my favourite videos from him are ‘Salamat Kuya Wil’ and ‘Ben&Ben&Ben’.
Doc Adam
Mr Smith is an Aussie doctor but that does not make him any less part of the Philippines. He is a man with a serious personality who makes videos exposing misinformation and bad business ethics in the Philippines to help the Pinoys that watch him stay healthy. He is best known for making medical videos involving the health benefits of certain consumables and issues in the body, confrontational videos on shady businesses and individuals, and pranks. The most entertaining videos from him are ‘Copper Mask Sue me for Telling TRUTH?’ and ‘Goodbye YouTube.’.
