All it takes is a strong, reliable internet connection to turn once-distant dreams into everyday realities. From starting an online business to becoming the next internet sensation – more Filipinos today are exploring fresh opportunities, kids are learning beyond the classroom, and dreamers are sharing their talents with the world.
This is exactly what PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid captures in its latest campaign “Hall of Fame”, spotlighting three of today’s favorite online personalities: food content creator Ninong Ry, gaming streamer Suzzysaur, and singer-songwriter Maki.
As digital platforms continue to redefine careers in content creation, remote work, and entrepreneurship, the “Hall of Fame” campaign celebrates this transformation by highlighting real-life stories of Filipinos who turned their passion into profession, all powered by a strong and reliable fiber connection.
John Y. Palanca, PLDT Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business – Home, says, “Filipinos have the innate talent and drive to turn big dreams into reality. Ninong Ry, Suzzysaur, and Maki show us that technology is at its best when it empowers and enables you to succeed in life. With PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid, we’re giving Filipinos the speed, reliability, and flexibility to pursue their passions – whether it’s producing online content, streaming music, learning, or upskilling. All it takes is a reliable connection and the courage to begin. At PLDT Home, we are proud to be part of these journeys of success, which continue to inspire us to innovate every day.”
PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid makes high-speed fiber internet more accessible than ever before – no contracts, no monthly bills. With a one-time fee of P999, which already comes with seven (7) days of unlimited fiber, users simply load when they need to and enjoy speeds of up to 50 Mbps.
Ninong Ry, known for his hilarious no-frills cooking videos, became a household name by filming from his home kitchen during the pandemic lockdowns when everyone was stuck at home, craving content that could lift their spirits and ease their boredom.
Before that, he was helping his mom run their poultry stall in Malabon — until the palengke shut down, too. With nothing much to do at home, he began filming himself cooking and uploading videos online. The rest, as they say, is history.
“I was uploading content every day, consistently,” he says. “The biggest challenge in becoming a successful content creator isn’t just staying real or creative, it’s staying consistent.”
It didn’t take long before his down-to-earth style and easy-to-follow recipes earned him millions of fans who feel like they’re cooking right beside him.

Suzzysaur found her niche by keeping it real: sharing honest stories a glimpse of her every day life, and gaming moments that her audience can relate to. Her content has evolved from the time she started out as a student wanting to pay her own way through college, to helping her parents finance her siblings’ education, too.
With a pro-gamer husband, a four-year-old daughter, and a business to run, Suzzysaur’s home is always buzzing with online activities. She says, “My husband and I have our own setups in separate rooms because we both have meetings and streams. As a content creator, a CEO, and a mom, the kind of reliability and the customer support that PLDT Home provides help me fulfill my many roles.”
Maki, on the other hand, won hearts with his soulful music—with content that began at home.
“From recording in my bedroom to sharing my music online, I found the courage to chase my dream of becoming a recording artist,” he shares. What started as humble covers soon climbed the streaming charts—Maki’s journey is proof that sometimes, all it takes is talent and a strong WiFi signal.
From cozy bedrooms to creative setups, these creators show how success can truly start at home—with a strong internet connection and a bold dream.
