Social media influencer Boss Toyo is taking another milestone as he officially launched Geng Geng Network to a bigger platform.

Together with his co-content creators, the network will bring different kinds of shows, including fitness, fashion, family, and inspirational stories.

During their grand media conference held at the Trigger Cine Studio last Dec. 9, Boss Toyo shared what made him decide to launch Geng Geng Network.

"Yung Geng Geng Network binuo namin ito with my fellow content creators, siguro ako lang yung nakaisip ng pangalan, pero hindi ko ito magagawa without them. So, matagal na namin itong plano last year po and ngayon lang talaga nagkaroon ng magmamaterial and dun papasok yung D8TV," Boss Toyo said.

According to Boss Toyo, the airing of the programs will start from 6 am until 10 pm. He also mentioned that aside from the original content creators who are part of the network, they will also open doors for other content creators who like to join their community.

"Welcome po ito sa lahat, hindi lang po yung kasama namin ang pwede niyong makita dito, syempre maraming airtime kaya open po ito sa lahat aspiring content creators or social media influencer," he added.

Boss Toyo was also asked if there was pressure on the side from taking his online image into the mainstream platform.

"Actually wala ng pressure sa akin kasi dream ko ito, talagang gusto ko magkaroon ng sariling network, hindi lang para sa sarili ko, kasi gusto ko yung maraming nakakasama magtrabaho. Mahilig ako magsama ng mga tao kahit hindi ako sigurado sa ginagawa ko," Boso Toyo said.

Former reporter Jay Ruiz, now part of the D8TV Network, shared his experience on working with Boss Toyo.

"Nakita namin kay Boss Toyo yung totoo, totoong tao siya, sincere at nais makatulong sa kapwa at kami po ganun din po yung gusto namin mangyari, kasama pa po jan sina Whamos at Rendon na gusto po nilang mapalawak yung pag-iisip ng taong-bayan," Jay said.

He looks up to Vic Sotto as host

Just like any host, Boss Toyo also looks up to "Eat Bulaga" host Vico Sotto when it comes to hosting.

"I look up kay Vic Sotto, kasi napaka simpatico at simple niya lang, napaka plain niyang tingnan pero kapag nakita mo siya, maiistar struck ka. Napakabait din niya, kaya ako I look up to him kasi parang siya yung gusto ko sundan na yapak," Boss Toyo said.

Although Boss Toyo made it clear that he is not copying Vic, he is just a fan when it comes to hosting a variety or game show.
