He continued, “It’s 2019 (as my dad put it when I came out to him a few weeks ago), and a great time to be alive LGBT. #FilipinoPRIDE“
Before becoming the social media sensation he is today, Mikey competed in the reality television show Canadian Idol. Since then he has become known for his song parodies and other hilarious videos that feature his Filipino culture and traditions.
