He is so genuine and so happy he has done so well. And his line of "breadwinner by guilt not by choice" I'm sure that resonates with a lot of people. Hopefully he reaches many milestones and can help lots of people.

"Are you gonna be a husband?" "...I'm gonna be a dad." I absolutely adore this answer. Warmed my heart.

I would never let my younger cousins feel like they had to dig me out of a hole I dug up from the get go, but it seems a lot of us have experienced this from our families and it makes us feel this anxiety to be not even just good enough for us but good enough to provide for literally everyone in our life just to prove we care, at that point it's more than care it's taking on this responsibility that was never ours. smh

@@crazykaitlyn tbh all everyone has to do is be self-sufficient. The problem is which generation will bear having to be the breadwinner bc of old folks AND not also be like them who passes the brunt to future kids. Gen MZ will have to be the sacrificial lambs.

With a close knit family like hers, its usual to be still be a bread winner despite having built their way out.
I started watching Bretman when he had 100K followers in IG. His videos were so funny. I don't know why I feel so proud of him and his whole family like I know them personally. I love that he is setting a good example to everyone. Being true to self, & loving your family.

I legit just scrolling on KZread, and ran into this interview! Like wow I’m so happy they finally interviewed someone with an amazing attitude towards life! He’s definitely an amazing person! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!
“I’m going to be a dad”. To me, he saying I choose a different type of love. I can be loved as a husband but I would rather be loved as a dad for now. Omg he’s such an angel 👼🏻💓
I have loved Bretman for years. I got cold chills and teared up at 1:15. Bretman is breaking glass ceilings that we did not even know existed.
Finally someone told the ABC “girl why you in my business “ 🤣

He's so good with interviews ❤️ so true to himself
This is the first time in about two years that I’ve watched a full clip from ABC news. Only because Bretman 🫶🏼 love hun
He's so awesome and humble. I remember when he came out and I found him so funny and genuine, creative. So glad he kept on his own path and is achieving many goals.
He’s come a longgg way! And I can tell he never forgets it and honestly I love that it keeps one grounded! Don’t run from your past but instead embrace and except it, allowing you to come at peace with the present which in turn creates a healthier and brighter future.
I am so happy for him and his success. its something else to see someone who looks like you and is from your country to receive all the love and success
He grew up and became more and more popular right in front of my eyes. I have loved him ever since the very beginning. I feel so proud of him. I hope he stays humble and sweet always
Bretman is actually so wholesome I love watching his journey and genuine personality

"breadwinner by guilt not by choice" gosh this resonates with me so much
It's so awesome to see a Filipino featured in ABC news :)
Same I didn't grow up hearing " I love you" from any of my parents but their actions as provider and everything says it all
He is the sweetest person. So kind and funny. How he interacts with his family is beautiful and especially his niece.
So proud of you Bret and you being open to therapy and about Mental Health! 💗 Much love and respect!
I ❤️ Bretman Rock! 🇵🇭
Seriously proud of Bretman Rock and Bella Poarch. I wish I had them to look up to growing up, but I guess... it's never too late for this oldie to learn how to be unapologetically fierce.

Girl why you all up in my business lmfao I love him. I was running the great Aloha run in either2017 or 2018 and I saw this super energetic kid pass me and it was bretman running with his HS team. Back then we was known for how silly he was on his videos so I knew of him and waved at him. So happy to see how much he has grown from then!
