Newbie food vlogger gains followers on YouTube after daughter’s heartwarming video goes viral on TikTok

“Pa, hindi lang ako ‘yung naantig sa ginawa mo, marami rin pala kaming nakakita at naka-appreciate sa ’yo.”

A daughter from Mandaue City, Cebu did not expect that a simple video of her father would go viral on social media!

Eden Padel was the first follower of Tatay Dioscoro, a newbie food vlogger. Days after she uploaded the video on TikTok, Tatay Dioscoro reached 29,000 followers on YouTube!

“’Yung pinost ko pong video is hindi po siya sinadya, before po ako pumasok ng school, nakita ko po kasi si Papa na nagfi-fix ng vlogging stick niya, tapos sabi niya na mag-i-start na raw po siyang mag-vlog gano’n. Kaya nag-fix siya dito tapos na-cute-an lang ako sa time na ‘yun, so vinideohan ko siya kasi natatawa ako kasi nga sobrang excited niya,” Eden told The Philippine STAR.

“Sabi ko sa kanya na ‘Sige Pa, support na lang kami sayo kung ano ‘yung gusto mo. Mag-video ka na lang tapos sabihan mo nalang ako if done ka na, kasi ako na lang mag-e-edit after school ko,’” she added.

Eden created Tatay Dioscoro’s YouTube channel in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it was just this year that Tatay Dioscoro went all in for his vlog.

“Hindi na po ako nagulat kasi si Papa, feeling niya Gen Z siya. Kung ano ‘yung uso, ‘yun din ‘yung ginagawa niya. So n’ung nag-start siya mag-vlog, alam ko na gusto talaga ni Papa,” she said.

Tatay Dioscoro couldn’t believe that he has thousands of followers now.

“Sabi ko po, ‘Weh? ‘Di nga?’ Hindi po ako makapaniwala eh. Sobrang saya po. At tsaka ginaganahan na po akong mag-vlog po at magluto. Pangarap ko po talagang mag-vlog. Tsaka gusto ko po talagang i-share ‘yung recipe ko,” he noted.

“Sabi ko nga sa aking Panginoon kako, baka purpose ko ‘to, kasi marami talaga akong ginawa na lulutuin kahit umabot pa siguro ng 2,000, mayroon dito sa utak ko eh. Wala naman akong sinusunod na menu eh. Kung ano ang naisip ko ‘yun lang po, pero masarap naman po, ‘yung mga anak ko naman po kumakain,” he added.

Tatay Dioscoro worked as a cook in different food establishments for more than 20 years. Growing up, he loved cooking Philippine cuisine and experimenting different dishes.

“Matagal ‘yung shooting ko, minsan mga isang oras mahigit, dalawang oras. Kasi kailangan talagang pulido ‘yung pagka-cut eh, ako lang mag-isa kasi eh, ‘di ko na ginigising sila eh,” he said.

“Minsan ang madaling araw, depende sa availability ko, minsan nag-va-vlog ako sa hapon kasi vino-voice over ko lang po, kasi maingay eh,” he added.

Tatay Dioscoro wants to encourage others to try what they really want in life.

“Huwag po kayong tumigil sa pag-v-vlog. Kung ano ‘yung gusto mo, huwag po kayo mag-stop mag-dream kahit matanda na kayo,” he stressed.
