Team Payaman is shaking up cyberspace as one of the most popular local digital content creators.
Their content is original, unique, humorous, and relatable, often taking on an "anything under the sun" vibe, with no specific topic and just a look into their day-to-day lives.
Their hilarious antics are a much-needed stress reliever for fans, and it's no wonder viewers flock to their social media channels, as evinced by their ever-growing number of subscribers and views.
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) lists Team Payaman's members, who are also independent vloggers and influencers.
How Team Payaman started
It was vlogger Lincoln "Cong" Velasquez, more popularly known as Cong TV, who started Team Payaman.
In a January 2020 interview with Spin.ph, he said, “Lahat ng ito, nagsimula sa trip-trip lang nung 2015. Tapos nakita namin na puwede siyang gawin habang nag-e-enjoy at kumikita, kaya yun talaga ang nakakuha ng interes namin,” Cong said of the popular digital content creator group.
Utilizing YouTube in their vlogging, they started to create content that was true-to-life, and relatable to every Filipino.
The Team Payaman members stay together in a house called Payamansion, where they create and shoot their content.
The group also ventured into e-sports and gaming.
