How Behind The Scenes with Ynna started
One afternoon, my sister Anykka, who had launched her own production and digital company called TRIPLE A PRODUCTION, asked me, "Why don't you revive your YouTube channel?" I responded, "You know, Anykka, I'm not quite ready for that yet. I don't have the time, and there are various other reasons, but okay, I'll consider it and brainstorm what I could do."
At that time, my husband and I were planning to travel around the Philippines, so I suggested, "Why not create a travel vlog? Eventually, it could really take off. When Bully becomes a pilot, we'll be traveling all over the Philippines anyway, so why not document it? But it might be too much effort, it could be costly, and on top of that, we have a child to take care of. Also, my husband is concerned that we might share too much and expose our private life. He's not comfortable with that, and I respect his feelings."
On June 11, 2023, I found myself unable to sleep, so I began praying and seeking guidance from God. I pondered how I could continue pursuing my goals and dreams now that I was married and a new mother. I realized I needed to devise a plan to redirect and align my aspirations. That's when the idea struck me: Why not create a talk show?
Having my own talk show had always been a dream of mine. I had started my showbiz career as a TV host at the age of 14, before transitioning into acting. I hosted two seasons of a teen magazine show called CANDIES on QTV CHANNEL 11 in 2005. Landing that job involved auditioning and waiting in line for nearly six hours under the scorching sun at the GMA 7 network studio. I vividly recall the excitement of being offered the role of main host alongside Inah Estrada and Win Wyn Marquez. The show aired for 7 months, during which Rhian Ramos and Andi Manzano replaced Winwyn Marquez in the second season. After that experience, I ventured into acting, but the desire to host my own show never faded.
So, as a gift for my 32nd birthday and marked 18 years in the showbiz industry, I decided to turn my dream into reality. I envisioned a talk show that would inspire and empower mothers from all walks of life, especially celebrity moms like myself. Recognizing the lack of representation for our generation of young celebrity mothers, I aimed to create something different from the typical vlogs or travel content. Whether the show became a hit or not, I was determined to pursue my dream with faith in my project, my team, and myself, knowing that God was on our side.
And thus, "Behind the Scenes with Ynna" was born on YouTube—a talk show where every day is Mother's Day. Featuring celebrity and real moms, the show delves into daily life struggles, offering both information and inspiration for families. Join us for a roller coaster ride of emotions as we share real stories and remind everyone that celebrities are human beings too, and moms deserve to be celebrated.
