Canadian vlogger Kyle Douglas Jennerman, affectionately known to many as “Kulas,” has officially taken his Oath of Allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines, symbolizing the culmination of a journey filled with deep affection and unwavering commitment to the Filipino community.
Kulas expressed his heartfelt gratitude in a touching Facebook post where he recounted the day’s events with a spirit buoyed by belief, inspiration, and a deep sense of belonging. It was a pivotal day, not just for Kulas but for the thousands who have followed his journey through his YouTube channel, “BecomingFilipino.”
Wearing a 100% Filipino-made Bamboo Textile Barong designed by Francis Libiran and developed by DOST-PTRI, Kulas stood proud, overwhelmed with emotions as Congresswoman Len Alonte administered his oath — a symbolic gesture that echoes the close bond and mutual respect fostered over years of fostering Philippine culture and traditions through his vlog.
Kyle moved to the Philippines in 2013, dedicating himself to showcasing the Filipino culture, beauty, and resilience through his YouTube channel, gaining popularity and touching lives one powerful message at a time. His commitment to the Filipino people went beyond mere words, as seen in his invaluable help during the trying times following Supertyphoons Yolanda and Odette, and Typhoon Paeng.
