Us Filipinos are well-known for our resiliency in times of trouble. Mostly because we don't have a choice when it is our responsibility to put food on the table, much as when the pandemic started and the whole world seemed to stop. Lots of Filipinos were obligated to stay inside of their houses due to the quarantine protocols, online shopping became a big hit, and thus came the delivery riders.




Delivery riders were once of the front liners during the pandemic but one of them stood out. A Food panda rider that dresses up as a "drag queen" became a viral sensation last May 2021, that received thousands of like and share on Facebook. Not only that he delivers food for his customers, he also bring smiles to their faces by showing of his phenomenal dance moves.

In his early age he became a dance choreographer on local dance festival competition and so far won multiple times in the said event and considered as "Hall of Famer" in their City.



TikTok became also one of his platform in showcasing his dance moves, by waiting for the food orders to be finished, he casually dance and made TikTok videos along with other fast-food employees not only to entertain and bring smiles to their customers but also to lessen their boredom on waiting for food deliveries. Loren has his both feet on the ground despite being known in social media. He firmly believes that kindness and humility is always important in this chaotic world.

In the world of dancing and performing arts, there is a proverb that may sound familiar to everyone, “behind every good performance is a great choreographer”. A choreographer is someone who harnesses an individual/group’s performance to maximize the talent of everyone involved, they usually work behind the scenes and viewers may not be able to give them the credit that they deserve but without these people, every single performance may not reach its highest potential. For this week, we are going to give the acknowledgment that every single choreographer deserves.
