When Wealth Goes Viral: Nepo Babies, Corruption, and the Price of Influence in the Philippines with PR Pro Jesse Boga

Episode notes

What happens when the children of the country’s most powerful families flaunt ₱700,000 dinners and designer bags online - while ordinary Filipinos wade through floods? In this episode of None of Your Business , Karla Singson sits down with journalist and PR professional Jesse Boga to unpack the cultural, political, and media machine behind the rise of these “influencers.” Together, they ask: Why can’t some wealthy people stop oversharing their excess? With all their money, why do they skip basic PR training? How did we get to a point where flaunting wealth became influence? Why does society admire inherited privilege instead of real value-creators? And is a revolution what it will take to finally fix this broken system? As honest taxpayers, how do we feel about all these questionable sources of wealth from "government contractors"? This is not your typical conversation on wealth and power. This is a raw look at how media, corruption, and blind aspiration collide, and why Filipinos deserve better role models.
