Whether I make it or not, it doesn’t really matter!&quot; he said.</p><p>The content creator highlighted that the mission of his platform FEATR has always been putting the spotlight on Filipino stories.</p><p>&quot;With FEATR @featrmedia we are working towards building a proudly Filipino, digital video focused, food media outlet.

A few articles came out about me this week and have brought out the &#x27;commentors&#x27;, it’s still sad to see that people who’ve made their assumptions about me a few years back, still can’t see our growth and the AMAZING work that the whole FEATR Media and The Fat Kid Inside Studios teams churn out,&quot; he said.</p><p>He added: &quot;We are on track to document all Filipino heritage Salts this year, incredible local products and continue to shoot as many provinces as possible; giving light to the people who make all these places special and hopefully raising awareness and pride along the way. Yes, we still do branded work and that’s what helps fund everything else we do!

And for us to be able to do that, I really need to focus on the business but I also need to focus on producing other shows with other hosts and other people. And that is why we are no longer Erwan Heussaff, we are now going to be called FEATR,&quot; he announced back in 2021.</p><p>He continued: &quot;But don’t freak out, on FEATR you’ll still be able to enjoy everything that you’ve loved on this channel. We’re just adding more to it. It’s a really scary thing to take a successful online business and completely change it but I really do believe we are nothing without change and without discomfort.&quot; </p><p>&quot;You’ll still get all the videos that I personally host, all the travel videos when we’re allowed to travel, all the food videos and, all the good stuff that you’ve really liked along the years. But on top of that, we’ve already produced other shows hosted by other chefs, other cooks, and these will already be rolling out within the next two days. So you’ll see all these fresh faces, documentaries, and shows that we’ve been working hard on over the last year.&quot;</p>
