<p>Known for her entertaining and charming personality online and as the wife of Cong TV’s younger brother Marlon Velasquez Jr. (who is more popularly known for his nickname Junnie Boy), Vien Iligan said she never expected that their vlogging would lead their family to this kind of popularity and success online.</p><p>“Hindi ako nagpapatawa talaga. Yung asawa ko si Junnie Boy talaga yung nagpapatawa. Mahiyain pa rin naman ako (laughs). Mahiyain talaga ako actually,” she shared. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-12" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEQJth7zebF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A12%2C%22os%22%3A3129210%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-12" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DD95jBRzBd9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A3110848%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/1/21/vien-iligan-of-team-payaman-ready-to-join-showbiz-1606" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Vien Iligan of Team Payaman, ready to join showbiz?</u></strong></a></div><p>As one of the country’s most followed group of content creators, the pretty Team Payaman member said that they are just like regular people when off camera. </p><p>“Same pa din naman pero not all the time like happy happy. Sa harap ng camera happy happy kami pero minsan may mga pinagdadaanan kami. Pero siyempre dahil kami yung parang pahingahan minsan ng mga tao eh, pinapanuod kami,” she revealed. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFAxt41yclC/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A3071467%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>With some local content creators making headlines after receiving criticisms for their actions, Vien admitted this has made Team Payaman more conscious about being responsible content creators.</p><p>“Yes maingat kami. Actually, yung buong Team Payaman kasi, hindi lang kami yung nag-de-decide. Minsa kapag meron kaming mga plano, or minsan meron kaming mga gustong patulan sa internet, lahat ng team (sasabihin) wag na, huwag mo na sila patulan. Walang mangyayari kung papatulan niyo sila. Gawin niyo lang yung gusto niyo gawin. Lalo na si kuya Cocon (Cong TV), sobrang ingat niya sa team Payaman kaya gusto rin namin siya ingatan. Kasi siyempre ang team Payaman hindi lang naman kami. Madami kami sa group. So kung anong makita na ugali sa isa, possible na maging judgment is para sa lahat ng team namin. So maingat na maingat kami dun,” she explained. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFArnJwyB0E/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A3046281%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Under the constant mentorship of their leader Cong TV, Vien saikd that the biggest challenge of vlogging will always be the possibility of getting backlash with every post they make.</p><p>“Pinaka-challenging is siyempre yung iniisip sa amin ng mga tao. Yun yung pinaka challenging kasi minsan may mga negative feedback talaga sa amin, may mga positive feedback din. Wala na kami magagawa so tuloy tuloy lang. Kung ano ka, kung ano yung tunay mong ugali, ipakita mo lang,” she added. </p><p>https://www.instagram.com/p/DFAcjmXvVBB/?img_index=1 </p><p>As for Team Payaman plans for 2025, Vien said, &quot;Secret kasi eh. Bawal pa sabihin pero abangan niyo lang. Meron silang upcoming event. Tingnan natin. Mas maganda kung kay kuya Cocon lumabas eh.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DE9p8VeSooH/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A3006891%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="739" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>For those who hope to follow in Team Payaman’s footsteps, Vien only has one pro tip to share to set anyone up for success as a vlogger.</p><p>“Kung gusto mo mag-vlog or dumating sa ganitong punto, huwag kang mahiya. Ipakita mo lang. Kasi pag nahiya ka, mas lalo mong matatago eh. Huwag kang ma-conscious. Kahit ako na-ko-conscious ako until now (laughs). Pero please huwag kang mahiya kasi pag lalo kang mahiya, walang mangyayari. Katulad ko, nahihiya pa rin ako. Sabi ko, ‘Pupunta pa ba ako (sa event)? Nahihiya ako, kasi haharap na naman ako sa tao. Nahihiya pa rin talaga ako,” she admitted. </p>
