Manila, Philippines — Remember him?

That humble farmer from the Cordilleras who went viral years ago for carrying carrots in a woven basket — unaware that a single photo would change his entire life?

Many thought his 15 minutes of fame would fade.
They were wrong. So very wrong.

Today, Jeyrick Sigmaton is unrecognizable — not because of surgeries or styling, but because of how far he’s come.

✅ Brand Ambassador for local and international fashion houses
✅ Lead actor in an upcoming international indie film
✅ Recording artist with an award-winning tribal fusion album
✅ Philanthropist, building classrooms and farming programs for his fellow Igorot youth

And yes — he’s earning in six figures for every brand endorsement he takes.

“I never imagined this life,” Jeyrick said in a recent interview. “I just wanted to help my family. Now I want to help my whole community.”
