Paolo, Louis, Mina, and Drew on How Twitter Helps Empower Local Talents
Twitter has always been the go-to place for local artists to share their works and connect with their communities. It is where artists encourage each other to hone their craft, and where enthusiasts look for art to find a sense of normalcy, levity, and inspiration despite the tough times we are in.
Despite being locked in each other’s homes, artists continue to thrive on Twitter. It became their gallery or hangout place to meet their fans and followers. Before we cap off February as the National Arts Month, we gathered artists from various industries to share how Twitter became their virtual home.
Paolo Pangilinan (@PaoPangs), Actor – Connecting to fans and inspiring people
As fan meetings did not happen last year, Gaya Sa Pelikula actor Paolo Pangilinan went to Twitter to get in touch with his fans as well as to his friends and family. It is on the platform where he is able to bring conversations closer to home despite the actual physical distance.
“I love using Twitter to connect with people who are avid fans of the show, our shared advocacies, and the undertakings I have been doing before and after the show. Twitter has helped me reach out to friends, family, and supporters more easily due to the ease of communication Twitter brings and how it allows for each message to become amplified,” Pangilinan shared.
