Studio in a Bedroom: The Gear Filipino Creators Actually Use
No sponsorships, no fantasy kits — just what is on the desks of the country's top 50 channels.

The consensus: audio first, light second, camera a distant third. Nearly two-thirds still shoot primarily on a phone.
The most common upgrade regret? A cinema camera bought before a treated room.
