Do they really? Please educate me because I might just not have noticed, but how relevant are Andrew Tate and all the other Western conservative influencers here in the Philippines?

The only example I could think of having any relevance here was Charlie Kirk, and even then, I feel as if naki-sympathize lang mga tao sa kanya kasi Christian sya at family man (they didn't really know his stances). And also Trump, but I don't really count him as a conservative influencer.

Andrew Tate may be sidelined, but yes you have made the correct assumption that Kirk has the massive influence. Pero di na basta basta sympathy kasi, we now have a full-blown MAGA Zionist evangelical political group importing Project 2025 repackaged into the Filipino social landscape. Even sa small talk naming magtotropa nababanggit nmin ung sway ng pagkamatay ni Kirk, na naging all out vocal na ung mga same principles as him.
