One incredibly powerful impact that social media has had on the world
today is its ability to launch seemingly ordinary people to superstardom.
There’s no telling just what the next viral video will be, but when it hits, it
does with unmistakable force.
Such is the case of Queenay Mercado, one of TikTok’s fastest rising sensations, whose
“panalo” story is primed to inspire and motivate Puregold’s young, aspirational customers.
Queenay, in fact, relates how the values of initiative and persistence have played a part in her
life journey.
Long before fame and success came, Queenay was a simple probinsyana who grew up in her
hometown in Batangas. She did not show much promise, then, and stardom was just a distant
dream for her. As a kid, Queenay first needed to hurdle a few speed bumps, including being
called “Broiler” for being plus sized.
But Queenay was undaunted. As a showbiz aspirant, she participated in acting workshops,
hoping these would open doors for her. For the longest time, however, she only snagged bit
roles. At one point, Queenay’s sole “claim to fame” was being glimpsed for a few seconds in the
background of some GMA 7 teleserye.
Thankfully, Queenay’s flair for self-expression led her to video-sharing platform, TikTok. That
was when Queenay’s profile really took off. To date, she has accumulated over 13 million
followers, attesting to how her charm and appeal can generate a rabid following.
Puregold has trained the spotlight on Queenay’s talents through TikTok’s “52 Weeks,” the 36-
episode series that starred Queenay in the leading role of Mina, alongside co-star Jin
Macapagal. Queenay has also joined the cast of the TV5 sitcom “Oh My Corona”. All this time,
the TikTok sensation has remained unaffected, an attitude that endears her to her legions of
followers.
Queenay’s phenomemal rise to prominence proves that determination and a healthy mindset
trump any or all challenges. And if one wants to be happy, humility is important to have as well.
