Gino Montalvo, the Cuban influencer known as Oyacito, made his official entry into the reality show Planeta Alofoke this Monday during the Grand Premiere streamed live on YouTube, proudly carrying the Cuban flag as a symbol of identity and pride before the entire Latino community.
The moment was captured in a video that was posted on his Instagram account and quickly became one of the most talked-about clips of the premiere: this is how Gino Montalvo entered Planeta Alofoke, with the overflowing excitement of his fans celebrating every second of his arrival on stage.
Before crossing the door to the reality show, Gino shared a message filled with emotion and gratitude: "You have no idea about all the process and dedication it has taken for me to reach here at Planeta Alofoke today. It is an out-of-this-world opportunity and I'm truly going to represent all those Cubans who feel identified and connect with me. With a lot of enthusiasm, love, and discipline. We are going to show that we are great and united."
The creator of the program, the Dominican entrepreneur Santiago Matías, revealed during Gino's entrance the reason that led him to include him in this project: "Gino came to visit Pollito here, who was down. Gino made a gesture that I thought, I have to bring him into other realities."
That gesture of solidarity with Pollito Tropical, the Cuban influencer Randy Álvarez, during a difficult moment at La Casa de Alofoke, spoke more than any audition: it opened the doors to the most ambitious reality show of the Alofoke brand to date.
The participation lasts for 55 days, something that Gino took on with full awareness: "It’s 55 days to grow, learn, and be better."
He also acknowledged the emotional weight of distancing himself from his loved ones: "I'm going to miss connecting with you all, with my mom, my family, my friends, but this is for everyone. One day I asked for this, and today God is fulfilling it for me."
His arrival at Planeta Alofoke also comes with the boost of having finished in second place in the reality show El Rancho de Destino earlier this year, where he won 25,000 dollars and a Honda Civic, solidifying his position as one of the most serious competitors in the circuit of Latino influencer reality shows.
Planeta Alofoke brings together about twenty influencers from various countries for a 55-day reality stay broadcast 24 hours a day on YouTube, a project that generated a million connected devices just from its announcement and received public support from Romeo Santos.
Gino closed his message prior to the entrance with a direct appeal to his followers abroad: "I will represent you all with a lot of affection, a lot of love, from the heart. Thank you for being there, my Cubans, and also my Dominicans, my people from Colombia, from Venezuela, and those countries that support me as well."
