Now, I have this platform where the world is looking at the videos that I do. It&#x27;s really an opportunity to show them Filipino food,&quot; she said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.</p><p>In a previous interview with ANCX, Abi shared why she finds content creation fulfilling.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/5/4/filipino-author-content-creators-nominated-for-james-beard-awards-1707" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Filipino author, content creators nominated for James Beard Awards</u></strong></a></div><p>&quot;I love working in this industry kasi it’s very exciting and dynamic. Hindi siya paulit-ulit. And it also fulfills my thirst and hunger for doing creative work thru filmmaking,&quot; she said.</p><p>She also shared insights on how she makes her TikTok videos to make it engaging to viewers.</p><p>&quot;The concept should come first, especially the hook. Kasi kahit gaano kasarap ang recipe, kung walang hook, hindi papanoorin ang video. So inaral ko talaga kung ano ang most likely way to go viral on platforms and I found out na for TikTok dapat &#x27;yung first four seconds ng video mo really engage the people to watch the rest of the thing,&quot; she relayed.</p><p>On Thursday, May 16 (PH time), Abi also landed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list.</p><div><br/></div>
