With her distinct wit and jokes, the Kumunity is now eager to see what surprises are in store for “Dear Alex”, the title of which is reminiscent of her 2014 book release. Alex assures, her kumu show and channel will have that same humorous, casual feel that viewers can relate to. She explains, “Itong “Dear Alex” [on kumu], they get to have a conversation with me, they get to ask questions, and iba-iba yung topic natin every week.”
Alex shares further, “So [“Dear Alex”] is like a podcast, na parang we get to expound on a topic, lalo na ngayon that I’m newly married, and you know, I’m also figuring out life.”, she laughs in earnest. “Kahit papano, you know, my audience can relate and learn from my experiences. And I could learn from them also, because they can also share their experiences.”
With that, the Kumunity is definitely eager to catch her on kumu soon. “Dear Alex” is scheduled to go live in June 2021, more details and exclusives will be revealed in the coming weeks.
