5. Zeinab Harake
Harake’s growth in YouTube has been incredibly fast. Just two years ago, in September 2019, she celebrated her 1-million subscriber milestone. Now, she has 1,000% (and then some) more than that with 11.1 million subscribers.
Harake has a big following on Facebook with 11 million followers.
Harake is also the partner of rapper Skusta Clee. They made showbiz headlines in the past due to online mudslinging between them, but have since repaired their relationship, and now have a child.
Skusta Clee, known for his hits “Umaasa” and “Dance With You,” also has a sizable YouTube channel with 2.43 million followers.
6. Cong TV
YouTube’s clown prince of comedy. He’s one of the few people in the world, perhaps the only one, who can call a person a “paa” (foot), and be loved for it. “Kumusta mga paa?” is a signature catchphrase along with “payaman,” a self-aware reference to the channel’s success.
This has since morphed to “Team Payaman,” as Cong or Lincoln Velasquez has also been helping other vloggers – first, those in his inner circle including his EJ Obiena-lookalike brother Junnie Boy and friends, and now, through a Pinoy Big Brother-like show The Gaming House.
The Gaming House is set in Velasquez’s “Payamansion” where new streamers prove that they have what it takes to be the next big talent in Filipino game entertainment company Tier One’s streaming roster. No word yet if Cong will take on the iconic role as the voice of Pinoy Big Brother’s “Kuya,” although that would be hilarious.
