Wil Dasovich

After graduating from college in 2013, Dasovich travelled around Asia for three months.[5] When he came to the Philippines, he decided to stay to learn its language and culture after his growing fondness for his Filipino roots. In an interview, he said:

Back in California, I grew up in a predominantly white community with no Filipinos around. But being half Filipino I became so intrigued with the language and culture; spending entire days and nights reading and memorising words. I, then, made the decision to stay in the Philippines for at least a year, and not leave the country until I was 100% fluent in Tagalog.

During the same year, while having lunch at Greenbelt in Makati, he was discovered and offered a job as a commercial model.[5] For the next two years he appeared in several advertisements in both print and video. He would eventually make his way to local television. After being exposed to showbiz, and finding some success as a host and TV personality, he decided to remain in the Philippines and pursue his career in the entertainment industry. He eventually fully committed to YouTube focusing all his efforts on creating content. The first video he posted is called 10 Hours of Walking in Manila.[7]

Dasovich gained recognition when his videos with his father, Steve Dasovich, speaking Swardspeak or "bekinese" went viral.[8][9] He often features different aspects of Filipino culture, which he discovers during his travels around the country.[10]

In 2016, Dasovich and fellow YouTuber Janina Vela were the two fastest growing vloggers in the Philippines. He and Vela became brand endorsers for Jollibee.[11] They performed together at the 2016 YouTube FanFest in Manila.[12] The pair has produced several collaborative videos mostly of food reviews and interviews with one another.[13][14]

Dasovich started a vlogging group called the "#VlogSquad" with fellow YouTubers Daniel Marsh and his sister Haley Dasovich. The three have appeared together in numerous travel vlogs on their respective YouTube channels. As a group they have been endorsers of many large companies including Coca-Cola, Converse, Jollibee, Forever 21 and many other notable brands. The Vlog Squad is managed by producer and YouTuber (PaperBugTV[15]) Jako de Leon. Over time, Dasovich introduced vlogging to many other influencers and TV personalities including fellow Big Brother housemate Baninay Bautista, who became a later addition to the squad. Also part of the team is Elvin Mendoza[16] who is the VlogSquad's IT person in charge of all the technical tasks and uploading behind-the-scene videos of the team.[17] The squad, featuring Dasovich, Haley, and Daniel, appear in an international ad campaign for Coca-Cola.[18]

Dasovich became a "housemate" on the thirteenth season of Pinoy Big Brother after a successful third audition. He had previously attempted to enter the show, but failed to make the cut twice.[19]

During his residence in the Big Brother house, he was nominated for every eviction night but survived by succeeding at save challenges or getting the highest number of text votes. He was evicted after being nominated for the fifth time after garnering the second lowest text votes.
