YOUTUBE blogger Nuseir Yassin, also known as Nas Daily, is under fire online for allegedly exploiting Filipino culture.

First was from the granddaughter of legendary tattoo artist Apo Whang-od, Gracia Palicas, who posted in a Facebook group 'Tattooed by Apo-Whang-od' that Yassin's Whang-od Academy for Tattooing is fake.

'Warning! Whang-od Academy is a scam,' she wrote on Wednesday. 'My grandmother did not sign any contract with Nas Daily to do any academy. Some people are taking advantage of our culture. PLEASE HELP US STOP this disrespect to the legacy of Apo Whang-od and the Butbot Tribe.'

The course at the supposed academy was 'Learn the Ancient Art of Tattooing', which costs P750.

In a separate post, Palicas said Whang-od did not understand what the translators were telling her.

'I spoke to her and she said she did not understand what the translators were saying,' she stated further. 'I know you [Nas Daily] have good intentions of sharing our culture to the next generation. However, our village's concern is that some people are profiting and exploiting our art and culture. I know you spoke to someone and gave some money and will share profits, but Apo Whang-od is not aware of your contact. Hope you sort this out.'

In a statement, the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples-Cordillera Administrative Region (NCIP-CAR) regional director Marlon Bosantog said in a Facebook statement on Thursday that appropriate intervention has been initiated and warned that appropriate laws will be applied to violators.

Nas Academy, in which the Whang-od Academy is a part of, said it was saddened by the accusations and claimed to have been 'champions of the Philippines from Day '.

In its post on Facebook, the company said it 'approached her and pitched [to] her family the idea of creating Whang-Od Academy'.

The company said she and her family both 'loved this idea, and have worked WITH US to build it, with Whang-Od teaching herself'.

It claimed that Whang-Od's trusted niece, Estella Palangdao, 'was present and translated the content of the contract prior to Whang-Od affixing her thumbprint, signifying her full consent to the project'.

'This is the clearest evidence that it is not a scam and achieved the consent of her and her immediate family.'

The group later said it had removed the Whang-od Academy from its site to 'resolve' any issues surrounding 'falsehoods' about its academy.

Meanwhile, another Filipino came forward on Facebook on Thursday to give her negative experience with Nas Daily.

Louise Mabulo, founder of The Cacao Project, believes the vlogger mocked the Filipino culture while visiting her hometown in the Bicol region.

'In 2019, Nas Daily had come to my town to cover my story on The Cacao Project- at the time, I was a huge fan, watching his clips with my Dad daily,' she wrote. 'At the time, I was gaining some press exposure and building up on opportunities thanks to UNEP's [United Nations Environment Programme] recognition of the work I do in my hometown for my farmers.'

Mabulo said a friend introduced the international YouTuber to her.

'My family took him and other content creators in as welcome guests- with typical hospitality we are known for,' she explained further.

'However in so little time, I was disappointed to learn that the man I'd looked up to for years was not the bearer of good news he'd misled his followers to believe he was. I watched him imitate and mock the local accent and language, vocalizing Tagalog-sounding syllabic phrases saying it sounded stupid.'

She claimed the vlogger was asking her why Filipinos were so poor and mocked the farmers. In addition, Nas Daily told her that no one wants to hear about farms because it's not 'clickable viewable content.'

The young entrepreneur said she was silent about this for two years before writing this statement.

Mabulo called the vlogger 'exploitative and fueling a neocolonialist narrative using our need for foreign validation'.

With the ongoing disputes, Nas Daily's following on Facebook went down by over 300,000, according to its analytics group CrowdTangle.

This was not the first time the vlogger has experienced a decline in following. During the battle of Israel and Palestine, he angered Muslims by calling the war between the two states as just a 'conflict' and doubled down that Jews and Arabs can be 'friends'.

Nas Daily is a 29-year-old vlogger from Israel who is based in Singapore. He currently has 20 million followers on Facebook and has 3.7 million subscribers on YouTube. His online purposes are supposed to be a 'force for good'.
