1) Rayt was bullied as a child
According to Rayt, people often told him he’d amount to nothing. He’s since overcome being bullied, and has embraced being called a “nerd.” His advice?
“Hayaan mo lang yung sinasabi nila kasi hindi naman nila alam ang dinadaanan mo bilang ikaw. Ipakita mo lang sa kanila na kaya mo,” he says.
2) Vitto didn’t always know how to dance.
Unlike some of the other Hashtags, Vitto didn’t always know how to dance. He only learned how to dance when his parents campaigned as councilors in their hometown.
“Nasanay yung katawan ko sa araw-araw kong ginagawa noon. Pati kasi mahilig ako sa hiphop, so masaya siya,” says Vitto.
3) Kid believes in standing up for yourself and asserting your rights

4) Maru is an old-fashioned gentleman.
According to Maru, being a gentleman is about knowing and living the meaning of respect—not just to women, but to everyone.

The Davao native says he’s a romantic at heart, and likes a girl who’s maalaga and close to her family. He says when he’s in love, he’s not shy about proclaiming it, even in public.
“Pag nakita ko yung The One ko, kaya ko na isakripisyo yung privacy ko. Parang, eto na siya, nahanap ko na siya,” says Wilbert.
