ACTIVITY 2: A MEDIA INFLUENCE

1. LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER
Pamela Swing
Birthday: April 11, 1997
Birth Sign: Aries
Education: University of Sto. Tomas

About
Filipina YouTube personality who is widely known for her self-titled channel. She has
gained more than 2.4 million subscribers for her makeup and fashion lookbooks, Get
Ready With Me vlogs, and personal entries documenting her everyday life. She began
her YouTube channel on March 17, 2014 and started uploading videos in October. She
began her collegiate studies in advertising at the University of Santo Tomas that same
year. She launched her channel to inspire her fellow Filipinos and Filipinas to be
confident in expressing themselves. She also has a secondary vlogging channel called
TheLifeOfPam. Her fanbase is called PAMily, as she considers her viewers to be part of
her family.She was born and raised in the Philippines.
Pamela Swing has always been my ideal public figure because of her
authenticity. Her ideas are same as mine and I always think of making myself somewhat
similar to her personality. Pamela is sometimes reckless but what I love about it is the
fact that she is eager to learn with those mistakes. Ate Pam has influenced me mostly
on how to handle myself. She has greatly influenced me to be myself always and never
hold back every single piece of a true me as long as it does not deprive others’ rights.
Ate Pam’s positive energy radiates all around her and that’s what makes her
shine brighter. This radiation has the ability to lighten up someone’s day not just only to
her Filipino subscribers but all around the world. Lastly, she has a cool sense of style
that makes people idolize her even more.
 2. INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER

Nuseir Yassin
Born: 9 February 1992 (age 28 years), Arraba, Israel
Education: Harvard University (2014)
Other names: Nas
Known for: Nas Daily

ABOUT
Nuseir “Nas” Yassin is a Palestinian-Israeli who grew up in the village of Arraba
in the country’s northern district. Fluent in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, he left Israel in
2010 to attend Harvard University on a full scholarship, where he graduated in 2014
with degrees in economics and computer science. Twenty months into his first post-
college job as a software coder for Venmo, Nas made the decision that would change
his life: to quit his job, gather his savings, and travel the world, sharing his adventures
and discoveries on his dedicated Facebook page, Nas Daily. On January 5, 2019, Nas
reached Day 1,000 of Nas Daily, having garnered an international audience of 12 million
followers and 4.5 billion video impressions. He continues to post weekly videos on Nas
Daily and has relocated to Singapore, where he is launching a media and video
company with his best friends.
I am following his FB page and I am so happy that I did because I learn new
things from him. While watching all his contents released, it feels like I was brought to
the place where he was. NAS Daily has taught me the beauty and essence of making
adventures around the world. Adventures are not only about taking pictures and making
memories but also gathering data and seeking for truth. His videos taught me how to
learn while travelling and to not just chill and relax.
He has reached millions of people around the world and I’m sure most of us felt
the same way. His informative contents and clear graphics makes people want to go
where he has been. He influences people to travel the world as much as we can. Also,
for those who couldn’t, he is also an inspiration for bringing the beauty of the place
virtually.
