Bernie Batin of Berniecular Vlogs Shares How Social Media Became a Key to Success in 'My Puhunan'

Who would have imagined that a former Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) could achieve social media stardom?

This is the remarkable journey of vlogger Bernie Batin, better known as @berniecularvlogs, whose tagline, “pinakamasungit na tindera sa social media” (the grumpiest seller on social media), propelled him to fame. This Saturday, September 16th, at 5 pm on “My Puhunan,” Bernie candidly shares how his genuine humor transformed him into one of the country’s top vloggers.

Thanks to his relatable and humorous content, Bernie has amassed over five million followers on TikTok, with an additional one million on Facebook and 245,000 subscribers on YouTube. Bernie’s vlogging career has also enabled him to realize his dream of owning a house.

Meanwhile, another former OFW shares his inspiring journey of transitioning into entrepreneurship. Eric Tiongson’s life began with hardship, working as a street vendor in jeepneys during his childhood. When the opportunity arose to work abroad, he seized it, first in Saudi Arabia and later in South Korea.

Driven by the desire to secure his future, Eric and his wife even resorted to hiding (TNT, or Tago ng Tago) in South Korea until they were eventually apprehended and repatriated to the Philippines. Using his savings as an OFW, Eric built a house that he later decided to sell. This decision led to the establishment of E. Tiongson Builders, his buy-and-sell business. Today, Eric has sold 28 houses in just seven years, achieving millionaire status.
