As part of one of the country’s most popular group of vloggers known as Team Payaman, Vien Iligan admitted she will always be thankful to her husband Junnie Boy’s older brother Lincoln "Cong" Velasquez, who is more popularly known as Cong TV.

“Si kuya Cocon (Cong TV) ang nag-intoduce sa amin sa vlogging. Matagal na kasi siyang nag-ba-vlog. Kaming mag-asawa, 2019 kami nag-start. All thanks to Cong TV kasi siya ang nagdala sa amin eh. Dinala niya kami sa ilalim ng pakpak niya kaya meron kaming ganito,” she told PUSH in an exclusive interview during the Manila Diamond Studio Las Piñas store opening last January 19.

The 28-year-old vlogger, who is also a doting mother of two, said that aside from creating content online and handling her business investments, she would also be open to doing acting, if the right opportunity comes.

“Puwede naman po. Okay naman ako diyan. Why not? (laughs),” she said

 Last year, she launched her Basic Tops collection at the 2024 Team Payaman Fair.

 “Lalo na ngayon na nasa peak kami ng career, (importante ang) investment talaga. Ang mga business namin ay laundry shop and water station. Meron din akong clothing line, Vien Apparel. Meron din kaming adults and kids apparel na available sa Instagram and Tiktok,” she added.

More than what she is earning from her vlogging and businesses, Vien said she still considers her son Mavi and daughter Alona Viela her most important assets in life. 

“Ang biggest blessing ko, nagkaroon ako ng two babies and tuloy tuloy pa rin naman yung blessings na dumadating sa pamilya namin and siyempre sa Team Payaman,” she admitted.

During the Manila Diamond Studio event, Vien also talked about her love for jewelry. “Mahilig din naman ako. Minsan lalo na kapag may mga event, yan yung mas nagpapaangat ng outfit natin eh, yung jewelry,” she explained.

Working closely with one of the country’s top pioneering vloggers Cong TV, Vien said that there is even more goodness to him than what is seen on camera.

“Si kuya Cocon sobrang maalalahanin niyang kuya. Kumbaga, team leader ng team Payaman. Tatatahimik lang yan pero papayuhan ka niya. Yun yung hindi nakikita eh. Lalo na sa girls, minsan may mga comments lang din siya  about sa mga issues, mga ganyan,” she revealed.
