San Mig Light's new lifestyle icons are Gen Zs on a mission: Meet Neil, Scott and Leika

MANILA, Philippines — Known for their free-spirited, ambitious and outspoken personalities, Gen Zs today are finding their purpose on social media.

Content creation is giving them the voice to showcase their true nature. Just like everyone else, they too face struggles and yet, they make sure to find and enjoy a light life.

Three Gen Zs are the embodiment of this: Neil Feranil, Leika Ong and Scott Lomboy who were named San Mig Light’s newest Lifestyle Icons.

Neil, Leika and Scott were awarded last November 7 in a party that culminated Camp Light, San Mig Light’s first-ever nationwide online search for the newest Gen Z lifestyle icons ages 21 years old and above, who will serve as brand ambassadors.

They have the passion to express themselves both on and off the camera, showcasing their talents and personalities, and more importantly the drive to make the most out of life. They will receive a P100,000 cash prize and a full-year contract with San Mig Light.

Leika, a 21-year-old graduating college student, described herself as an “outgoing and energetic girly who is always on the move,” but she always makes it a point to find joy in every moment.

She told Philstar.com, “Aside from being a student, I am also a loving daughter and a friend, I have a lot of things on my plate. [I make sure to] be happy with everything that I do because you only live once.”

Whenever she faces some difficulties in life, she knows that it will only make her stronger. Leika is also into content creation, modeling and dancing.

Neil, 23, on the other hand, considers himself as a “Jack of all trades” who does hosting, live streams and vlogs on fashion, lifestyle and entertainment.

According to him, joining and winning Camp Light has been such a fun journey. Being chosen as a Gen Z lifestyle icon, he also wants to use the opportunity to spread social media responsibility among his community.

“As a lifestyle icon, it’s a big responsibility and I want to use this platform wisely. If I am given the chance, I want to tell everyone to use social media wisely,” Neil shared, adding that they should still balance their private life.

Lastly, Scott, 25, does acting gigs for commercials and TVs. For
