She shared: “Bigo Live has helped me grow both as a person and a creator by giving me a platform to share my talents and connect with people from different backgrounds. It has also pushed me to be more creative with my content, whether through singing or chikahan sessions, while allowing me to support and guide others in my agency.”
Another creator, Diana Zubiri, Family Leader of DKSA and Agency Manager, PH-CELEBRITY2 (BIGO ID: dianazubiri) enjoys sharing her workouts and snippets of daily life. She said: “I love connecting with people, sharing my lifestyle, and helping aspiring hosts grow. Bigo Live has helped me gain more confidence, expand my network, and create meaningful content.”
Bigo Live actively fosters women empowerment through various initiatives, including regular events and activities that bring female creators together and specialised educational workshops for aspiring content creators. One example is Women’s Run PH, a community-led running event by women, for women. As a proud event partner, Bigo Live enables women participants to inspire, connect, and support one another through livestreaming. “We recognise that women turn to Bigo Live to discover new ideas, form meaningful connections and be part of a supportive community. We’re dedicated to cultivating a digital space where women are represented regardless of their background and empowered to thrive and reach their full potential,” said Bigo Live Philippines’ spokesperson.
As a creator-first platform, Bigo Live offers incentive programs that reward creators who produce engaging content and contribute to the community. The platform champions financial empowerment by providing female creators with opportunities to grow their fanbase, opening doors for income generation through various avenues such as virtual gifting on the app or potential brand partnerships.

It's where I built my initial following, honed my skills, and truly realised my potential. I'm grateful for the continued opportunities Bigo Live provides me to connect with fans, collaborate with other creators, and grow both personally and professionally,” Jannine added.
