Content creator Zeinab Harake has received another blessing this year. After welcoming her little bundle of joy, Baby Bia, in May, the new mom has now received her most-awaited Diamond Play Button from YouTube.

In her latest vlog, she unboxed her award in the most adorable way possible: with her kids Baby Bia and Lucas.

“Alam ko number one request n'yo 'tong lahat na makasama silang dalawa sa video ko, and this is it pancit!

“Meron pang isang napaka-importanteng bagay sa'kin na dumating and 'yun 'yung napag-isipan ko kung bakit ko sila pinagsama sa isang content kasi ito 'yung mga mahahalaga talaga sa buhay ko.

“And…excited ako sabihin na dumating na 'yung Diamond Play Button and i-a-unbox namin ni Lucas.”

She also shared that they thoroughly sanitized the box sent by Society Awards, the creator of the prestigious YouTube Creator Awards or Play Buttons, before the unboxing.

“Pinatuyo pa siya ng tatlong araw, binilad, pinaliguan ng alcohol. Char!”

Zeinab then shared a loving kiss with her children and thanked her followers, whom she fondly calls The Zebbies.

“Ito na 'yon. Ito na 'yung gift n'yo sa'kin. So, gustong-gusto kong magpasalamat sa inyong lahat kasi kung hindi dahil sa inyo, hindi ako magkakaroon ng ganito.”

She also said at one point in the vlog, “Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po. Wala pong hanggang pasasalamat sa lahat po ng sumusuporta sa'kin.

“Lalo ko pa pong gagalingan kasi hindi ko po alam kung paano ko mababalik 'yung kaligayahang naibigay niyo sa award na 'to para sa'kin.

“Sobrang big deal nito. Hindi ko 'to inimagine talaga na magkakaroon ako nito and sobrang happy ko.”

The Diamond Play Button is awarded to content creators who are able to amass a following of 10 million subscribers.

Zeinab is now on her road to 11 million as she currently has 10.6 million subscribers on YouTube.

The next YouTube content creator award that Zeinab can receive in the future is the Custom Play Button award or the Ruby Play Button, which is awarded to vloggers with 50 million subscribers.

So far, the only content creators with a Ruby Play Button are PewDiePie, T-Series, Canal KondZilla, BLACKPINK, and MrBeast.

Meanwhile, the Red Diamond Play Button is so far what many consider to be the highest award to be given to YouTubers, since it is awarded to vloggers with 100 million subscribers.

So far, the only YouTube channels to achieve this are PewDiePie, T-Series, Cocomelon, and SET India.

Rapper Skusta Clee or Daryl Ruiz in real life, congratulated his partner Zeinab as he marveled at the shiny Diamond Play Button.

“Congrats, mahal. I'm so proud of you, baby,” he told Zeinab. Then he quipped, “Sana all, noh?”

Zeinab reacted, “Uy, hindi, Makukuha mo rin 'yan soon. Ako nga, hindi ko inexpect eh.”

The couple then talked about whether the award is made with real diamonds and Zeinab joked about selling if ever they experience financial difficulties. But she quickly took it back.

“Joke lang. Hindi. Hindi ko ibebenta 'to kahit ano'ng mangyari noh. Lifetime kong award 'yan.

“So maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyo.”

Congratulations, Zeinab! We're rooting for you to get the Custom Play Button next.
