A vlogger couldn’t believe that his video celebrating his 300 followers would quickly put him into influencer status.

Reynaldo Cha also known as ‘Lolo Mandoy’ who started his vlogging as a hobby uploaded a video to celebrate the 300 followers he gained after several months of vlogging about his life as a fisherman.

In the video titled ‘Happy 300 Subscribers, Maraming Salamat sa Suporta’, Lolo Mandoy can be seen cooking a simple pancit canton to celebrate the new milestone of his vlogging career.

He also prepared a Manila Paper with the written text ‘Happy 300 Subscribers’ to thank his followers.

The video quickly went viral and gained thousands of new followers from netizens who wanted to join Lolo Mandoy’s celebration.

Lolo Mandoy couldn’t believe that he would quickly reach 50,000 followers just because of his one-minute video.

“Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng sumoporta sa channel ko at gusto ko rin magpasalamat sa panginoon. God Bless Us All.”

Aside from gaining followers, Lolo Mandoy also received donations from his new fans and he decided to use the money he gained by buying supplies for his boat.

As of writing, Lolo Mandoy already gained 58,500 followers and is still active in making videos online.

Despite his fame, the vlogger still chose to live a simple life and kept working as a fisherman.

Aside from being a fisherman, Lolo Mandoy also shared his seafood dishes, including ‘Inihaw na Tulingan’ and ‘Picadillong Isda’.

A netizen warned the social media user about a new ‘modus’ of some groups using perfume to subdue their potential victims.

In a Facebook post, netizen Stephanie Jean posted the message sent by her sister who allegedly almost got victimized by a group.

According to the post by Jean, a middle-aged lady asked her sister to help her smell perfume inside a big pharmacy chain.

However, several minutes after smelling the perfume, the victim started to feel dizzy and numb.

“There was a lady (around her late 30s-40s) who asked her if she could ”smell” something cus she couldn’t smell it. My sister took a whiff, and told her it smells okay naman then she literally disappeared right after.” Jean wrote.

She suspected that the lady was trying to subdue her so she decided to get near the security guard of the said pharmacy.

The victim then noticed a suspicious group went inside the store and seems to wait for her to go outside.

“Then two other people came inside the store (assuming they’re with the old lady) and my sister saw in her peripheral that they were kinda following her(stalker vibez).
She immediately felt unsafe. She stayed near the guard and 30 mins after she felt that half of her body became NUMB.” she said.

Fortunately, the victim successfully called for help and left the store safely.

“I don’t know what’s on that “perfume” but it’s definitely sketchy. I don’t know what kind of modus this is, but imagine what could have happened.” she warned.

The post already reached 148,000 shares as of writing.

However, some people were questioning if the story was true especially since there were perfume legend stories that already circulating on the internet since 2000.

Whether the story was true or not, netizens were still being advised not to talk to strangers in public places, especially if they’re alone.
