So who are among those attending? Here’s a quick recap: 

Mikey Bustos is well known for his participation in Canadian Idol and for his hilarious observations about Filipino culture. This includes his introductory video to the Filipino accent, a look into Pinoy dining culture, and even a “Gangnam Style” parody, which he calls “Opo Pinoy Style.” 

Bogart, who is from Davao, rose to fame showcasing videos of Filipino culture, ranging from experiences like a trip to Boracay to interacting with people on the the streets, as if they were being featured in a wildlife documentary.

 

Hailing from California, AJ Rafael became an Internet sensation in 2006 and is known for hits such as  “When We Say” and “We Could Happen.” He is also involved with the charity Music Speaks. (READ: Fil-Am AJ Rafael ‘hates and loves’ YouTube star label)

 

Author, professor, DJ, actor, and host Ramon Bautista is also known for his videos on relationships, where he bluntly points out truths about love and life. Coyly poking fun at the subjects while retaining his good-natured humor, Ramon has also appeared on the big screen, starring in Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo, based on his own book of the same name. 

 

As the mustachioed, frequently bare-bellied character on those videos depicting the sometimes ugly but always funny truth about life in Manila, Jun Sabayton has taken on the character of the Filipino everyman and is frequently seen collaborating with friends Lourd de Veyra and Ramon Bautista. 

 

Jam Sebastian and Paolinne Michelle Liggayu, known by their followers as Jamich, are best known for creating and starring in romantic short films such as By Chance, “Text” Story of Best Friends, and 5 Years from Now, among others.
