Celebrities on YouTube are becoming a new trend, to the fans’ delight.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5001W8mW84w" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Jolina Magdangal started her YouTube channel, Jolina Network, on her birthday last November, and also announced that baby number two is coming.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Dr. Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho’s full wedding video has received over 100,000 views on Vicki Belo’s channel.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dZImjbYU_4E" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Judy Ann Santos has taken on a new but very personal  role with YouTube’s help -- a foodie sharing her culinary skills. In her most-watched video over Judy Ann’s Kitchen, Juday shows how to prepare red velvet ala mode with homemade ice cream and dulce de leche.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Aiv6z9F8osA?list=PL0HyGjCLFsLcoPbJEsKxTePuhIY0hZkqX" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Celebrities are also bringing out their inner gurus to YouTube to share a life hack or two. Solenn Heussaff dabbles on sharing tips on make-up, cooking and painting, and shares other fun videos that show a different side of her on her self-titled channel Solenn.ph. <br /><br />Bianca Gonzales-Intal, whose channel is inspired by her book “Paano Ba ‘To?,” presents a treasure chest for people who may need an advice or two. In her most-watched video moving on from a breakup with advice from Angelica Panganiban, Bianca has touched thousands of lives who needed to “move on”. According to Bianca, sharing life hacks brings her closer to people. “I think joining YouTube has helped me reach a different kind of audience,” Bianca said. “It’s a big deal for me that people who don't know me personally are willing to open up about their deepest fears and biggest worries.”<br /><br />Michelle Madrigal’s channel, Michelle, has the former Star Circle Quest finalist sharing workout tips for moms to help them get fit and feel good about themselves even without a gym membership.<br /><br />From tips to everyday glimpse, celebrities are also sharing more and more about themselves without scripts and directors.<br /><br />The Ms. Alex Gonzaga channel catches precious spontaneous moments from Alex’s camera, some of them shared with sister Toni. So spontaneous are they that Alex gets surprised to see clips she didn’t remember taking. Alex considers receiving comments like ‘your videos made my day’ and ‘your videos are my stress reliever, thank you’ as one of the best compliments one can get as a celebrity. “I think with YouTube, people get to know me more and feel closer to me because I share what I do outside my showbiz career,”  said Alex.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJeAsJXKIsU" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Celebrity moms are also making the most out of YouTube. <br /><br />Andi Manzano’s crazy, fun world with baby Olivia enjoys over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. Kylie Padilla’s baby Alas Joaquin also get an enormous amount of viewership on YouTube, along with one of the original YouTube tots, the Team Kramer kids. Cheska Garcia-Kramer shared that Team Kramer’s channel make them reachable to audiences, including children. “Sometimes, Scarlett, Kendra, and Gavin get surprised when other children would sit on their laps or join in their playtime. With YouTube, we get to interact with viewers every now and then on the comments section, and it makes them feel that they are a stone’s throw away from us.”<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30JBgvCwh5Y" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KHsqMY0qA2M?list=PLeJNb0JkdeOKbFcOfUoNEA5By5yVglnEQ" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />And while Scarlet Snow Belo is a superstar on YouTube and other social media platforms, mom Vicki reveals she has other uses for YouTube. “I love how YouTube helps me when I look for information, and of course now that I have Scarlet, most of my searches are her favorite cartoons,” she said.<br /><br />From old timers to recently opened channels, different stars are doing their own thing over YouTube. <br /><br />Michael V’s channel, #BitoyStory, is just over a month old with four videos but already his subscribers are more than 100,000 and his views are over a million.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y47enAczO_8" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Mikael Daez, Xian Lim, Elissee Joson, Kristel Fulgar all have their own channels too, which they started way ahead of the pack, from 2011 to 2015.<br /><br />More and more celebrities are going on YouTube, and for good reason. YouTube is where they can explore their passion apart from showbiz and share them with a wide range of people, and be closer to their fans in a very real and personal way.<br /><br /><b>— The Summit Express</b></div>

Kris and her family were accused of using government resources in campaigning for administration bets former DILG Chief Mar Roxas and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo.<br /><br />On Saturday, April 23, the 41-year-old celebrity shared data from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) which revealed the amount of her tax payments and her ranking as top taxpayer since 2008. Kris captioned the controversial post with the hashtags ‘truth’ and ‘honest taxpayer’.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jdn2oXKm_gAFld29NK0Y2kM4H8URFNfxQHiycSIZ1P6CSoaRx3kcVEtm2sxQHhHsLbuClgdwscwxdKV7sjmlynC6p8jo2EmJD1mtGF4IzfGSYM5lMzkE_rCE_VuCXmmjuXVVQajtJdKT/s1600/kris-aquino-instagram.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kris Aquino Instagram posts" border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jdn2oXKm_gAFld29NK0Y2kM4H8URFNfxQHiycSIZ1P6CSoaRx3kcVEtm2sxQHhHsLbuClgdwscwxdKV7sjmlynC6p8jo2EmJD1mtGF4IzfGSYM5lMzkE_rCE_VuCXmmjuXVVQajtJdKT/s640/kris-aquino-instagram.JPG" title="Kris Aquino Instagram posts" width="600" /></a></div><br />In a separate post, the presidential sister shared a photo of her and sons Joshua and Bimby with brother President Benigno Aquino III with the caption “Because we are #FAMILY.”<br /><br />The former Kapamilya actress’s post appears to have angered netizens who pointed out that Kris didn’t need to brag about the amount of money she pays for tax. According to them, Kris has a higher wage so it would only be logical that she pays higher tax. <br /><br />“My tax is as important as yours. Your tax is important as hers. Tax is not a payment, it's a contribution. In essence, no tax is small or big,” netizen karlothegreat commented on her Instagram post. <br /><br />Earlier, President Aquino defended his younger sister from critics and stressed that Kris is among the country’s top taxpayers.<br /><br />“Whether it is an individual taxpayer or someone who is very close to me who shared all of the burdens, I think it is just proper to share the successes. Share kami sa hirap, share kami sa successes,” Aquino said in a statement.<br /><br />While Communications Secretary Sonny Coloma earlier claimed that Kris has the privilege to ride official government vehicles with President Aquino, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced that it will investigate her use of government property in campaigning.<br /><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
