BENEDICT 'KUYA'<br />
A kuya for keeps, Ben’s online older<br />
brother status may have come<br />
from his name itself. In Filipino <br />
pabebe and text speak, kuya can<br />
be shortened to kua or qua or,<br />
sometimes, cua. Although, this may<br />
purely be coincidental. But the way<br />
he infuses on-point words of wisdom<br />
to his videos is certainly a good way<br />
to use influence.<br />
“I have always advocated kindness<br />
in my videos. I feel like ‘yun ang<br />
kulang these days. Every time you<br />
post something online, it really<br />
gets amplified. So with this kind of<br />
power, you can encourage people to<br />
be kind and to be understanding,” <br />
he answers when asked about<br />
how he can use his influence for<br />
the good. “Growing up insecure<br />
about myself, I feel like I can share<br />
how I’ve overcome those. Youth<br />
empowerment is also what I aim for,”<br />
he interjects.<br />
