A BALL OF ENERGY
While Tommy’s professional career projects a serious image, his life as a digital creator reveals a playful—perhaps even too playful—side.
Netizens describe him as a bundle of energy who doesn’t take himself too seriously, as shown in the wacky videos he shares on social media.
Most of the time, you'll see Tommy dancing silly by himself, including one where he can be seen dancing and twerking in the background while his dad eats nonchalantly.
"Naintindihan ko na mga magulang nito kung bakit di na sya sinundan," a netizen joked in the post's comments section.
Here's another remark: "Yung nag-iisang anak ka lng pero sampu ang katumbas."
TWICE THE FUN
In July this year, Tommy, along with Timothy Laude, the son of entrepreneur Small Laude, launched the YouTube channel, Tim N' Tom.
The two delighted netizens with their humor as they gamely took on various challenges for the fun of it.
A follower of the channel wrote, "The rich kids we didn't know we need."
Another viewer reacted, "Rare item. Seeing rich kids having kanal humor HAHAHAHAHAAHAH enjoyed this!"
TOMMY THE EXPLORER
In a recent episode of Tim N’ Tom, Tommy sported a full Dora the Explorer costume while walking around BGC, a playful consequence of losing a bet to Timothy.
He quipped, "This is funny? Funny, funny-ra ng araw."
During the convo inside the car, he borrowed the meme line, "You're so road [rude]."
Uploaded on September 7, the episode has already garnered over 300,000 views and 20,000 likes.
And yes, Tommy didn’t love being Dora that day, but he nailed it.
His mom Michelle seemed to think otherwise though.
In the comments section, she said: "Di na cute si Dora"
One more fun fact, his dad is the second cousin of veteran broadcaster Mel Tiangco.
Lastly, based on some of his posts and pronouncements, he is single and has not experienced "physical touch" in years.
