IN PHOTOS: Kapuso stars who made it big in vlogging in 2020
Since the rise of video-sharing sites like YouTube, many people were given a platform to create entertaining content for users and opened a new world of possibilities for them. Some started as a content creator who later on joined show business.
YouTube also opened its door to actors who want to show their fans who they really are behind the glamorous life in the industry.
Heart Evangelista, for example, became a well-known YouTuber even if she's still active as an actress and TV host, showing the beauty of her husband Chiz Escudero's province, Sorsogon.
