SUCCESSFUL! The Palawan Content Creators Conference (PALCON) 2025, held on September 27, 2025, at the Convention Hall of A&A Plaza Hotel, was a massive hit on its 4th year. It was attended by over 500 content creators, vloggers, influencers, Youtubers, Tiktokers, and bloggers from Puerto Princesa City and various towns in Palawan.
This year, the guest speakers included the well-known motovlogger “CAPO”; the 2022 Top Education Creator Award in TikTok Philippines awardee, Raymor “RM” Cuevas; Beautician turned Hysterical TikTok star, Arman Salon; cooking diva and Balabac pride, Hja Rawda, or more popularly known as “Decko Tum”; and the “Mima” of all from Quezon, Palawan, “Queen Pango”.
In their speeches, the authenticity of the guest speakers stood out, especially Decko Tum and Queen Pango, who came from distant places, islands, and mountains where the internet signal is difficult, yet they managed to grow their followers. They did this by showcasing their culture and tribal food—Beyang Decko is a Samat Badjao and Queen Pango is a Palaw’an.
RM urged everyone not just to focus on going viral, but instead to make every video they share with their followers meaningful and ensure their content has something to teach. According to CAPO, who has traveled all over the Philippines, the priority should be to promote the natural beauty of our place, especially those that are not yet well-known. He said, Philippines first before other countries.
Arman became emotional as he recounted his life story, from being a parlorista (parlor worker/hairdresser) to becoming famous online. For him, the desire to do what you love must prevail, and you should just enjoy it, whatever your age may be.
Sining Amyhan, the Tagbanua Viral Singing Champ Mikay Bacaltos, and local acoustic singer Simon Almira performed at PALCON 2025. The program hosts were Mama Morena, Josh Baste, Niko Mendoza, Archie Barone, and DJ Tootsie Givana.
Also attending the event were Puerto Princesa City Councilor Matthew Mendoza, Tourism Officer Demetrio Alvior, and former Vice Mayor Nancy Socrates. Visitors also include Richard Paglicawan of Lionheart TV, Jowel Juanillo of Flingeros PH, and Allan Bobis of The Filipino Rambler.
