Wilbert Tolentino is now making strides as a vlogger.
The former Mr. Gay World titlist, businessman and philanthropist has already amassed almost 300,000 subscribers and growing.
Naturally, he is happy about it.
He shared, “I am indeed thankful for this achievement. As a newbie in this platform, knowing that I can bring smiles on the lips of my subscribers makes me feel great.”
But why vlogging?
“Because I want to spread joy and honest to goodness entertainment to people who are cocooned in their houses. All of us have faced anxiety and depression in this time of the pandemic.”
Tolentino should know. He is among thousands who were infected with COVID-19.
The scare made him realize how important it is to share happiness to our kababayans needing solace.
As co-owner of three entertainment bars (Apollo, Club 690, Farenheit), Tolentino is adroit in what will make his followers happy.
“Creativity in coming up with exciting content –that’s how I pique the interest and arouse the curiosity of my subscribers. I also make it a point to read the good comments, even the nastier ones. Why? You unearth from them gems of ideas. These ideas inspire me to come out with exciting and relevant content.”
He has a grand goal.
Tolentino said: “I want to bring the digital universe’s crème dela crème together. To collaborate, to work in harmony as one.”
When all is well, Tolentino plans to push through with the Philippines Influencer Awards.
