Toni Fowler

Toni Fowler (born July 22, 1993) is a Filipina actress and social media personality. Besides appearances on her social media profiles, Fowler also pursued a career in mainstream show business where she portrayed the role of Chicky in the ABS-CBN action series FPJ's Batang Quiapo.

Personal life

Fowler has one daughter, whom she revealed through a Facebook livestream in early 2019 with her ex-fiance and fellow social media influencer, Aron Israel "Tatay Elon" Manalo.

Controversy

Fowler, who is dubbed by critics as the Philippines' answer to Cardi B, gained viral notoriety and controversy for her sexually-charged content particularly in her music videos, most notably the single "M.P.L. (Malibog Pag Lasing)" (lit. 'Horny When Drunk'); which was also criticised for its alleged objectification of women bordering towards fetishism and pornography.

Fowler maintains that the videos are only intended for adults and was set as age-restricted on her YouTube channel, later stating in an interview with One News PH that "Malibog Pag Lasing" was drawn from her real-life experiences; despite this, she faced an arrest warrant over alleged violations of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 in relation to her music videos following a complaint by the Kapisanan ng Social Media Broadcasters ng Pilipinas (KSMBP) on obscenity grounds. Drag queen Pura Luka Vega–who was also previously arrested for alleged blasphemy law violations in 2023 over a drag performance as Jesus Christ–defended Fowler's right to self-expression in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating "Why are we going after people who are expressing themselves through their art?"
