After years of showcasing and telling warm stories of Filipinos and their culture, Kyle Jennermann, also known as “Kulas,” is now officially a Filipino citizen. 

“I HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME A FILIPINO,” the 34-year-old Canadian and now Filipino vlogger shared the good news on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with photos of him taking his Oath of Allegiance at the House of Representatives.  

“Today marks the beginning of the most important part of my life. I am ready for this. I am filled with belief, inspiration, gratefulness, and love,” he wrote. “One day at a time... Kaya pa.” 

His oath-taking was administered by Congressman Len Alonte, who was also the principal author of the first House Bill.

What made him love the Philippines? Kulas says it’s the Filipinos’ ability to be happy despite life’s adversities.  

“The innate ability of Filipinos to find ways to be happy and share it, I think it’s incredibly powerful and something that the rest of the world can really learn from,” he said. “That’s the major kicker that got me my life here.”
