Tiktok content creator Phillip Hernandez (Davao Conyo) reacted to the popularity of his TikTok account during the media conference for SKY Fiber’s Swak Na Swak Media Launch on March 4.
Hernandez said he didn’t feel super special despite the success of his TikTok account
“May pagka-introvert talaga ako, na kahit four years ko na ‘tong ginagawa, itong content creation, kapag may lumalapit sa akin sa mall, minsan naiilang pa rin ako kasi hindi ako sobrang people person.
“Pero in terms naman sa feeling–like popular, popularity, okay lang din wala masyadong difference kasi sumabog ‘yung career ko sa panahon na parang malakas na rin ‘yung pag-gamit ng internet. Parang everyday my content creator na pinapanganak.”
He then recalled how he began his TikTok account through his passion for entertaining people.
“Siguro nag-start talaga sa akin ‘yung kagustuhan kong makatulong sa tao through laughter.
“Tapos weirdly noong bata pa ako mahilig talaga akong manood ng commercials talaga. For some reason, excited ako lagi pag may commercials. ‘Yung parang mag-huhulaan kung ano ‘yung brand ng product.”
He added that he started his content creation through facebook dubs.
“Tapos ‘yung combination nung lahat, feeling ko naman nakakatawa din ako. Tapos andiyan din ‘yung access ng internet. Tapos ayun. Experiment din siya sa simula.
“Sa Facebook ako actually nag-start hindi sa Tiktok. And naaalala ko dubs pa ako nag-simula. Kasi nahihiya nga ako. Nahihiya nga ako makita ng tao ‘yung mukha ko. So nag-start ako na what if boses ko lang. Tapos sinuportahan naman siya ng tao. Hanggang sa tuloy-tuloy na, gumawa na ako ng skits and all.”
He then shared his reaction to his recently viral TikTok post of him trying to out-sing people in the church, which already have 4.1 million views.
“Sa totoo lang sobrang kinabahan ako doon. Kasi sa Tiktok ko lang talaga nilabas ‘yun.
“Hindi ko na siya nilabas sa Facebook ko kasi medyo natatakot ako, kasi alam mo naman may mga iba na hindi agree sa mga ganong content.
“Pero so far naman, I made sure naman na relatable pa rin siya.”
