Lloyd Cadena was more than just a face you saw on your social media feed. He was a student, a good brother to his siblings, and an activist.
Maliban sa pagiging digital pioneer dito sa Pilipinas, nangahas din si Lloyd Cadena bilang influencer na bitbitin 'yung mga panawagan ng mamamayan sa vlog niya tulad ng pagboykot sa NutriAsia pati pagtutol sa Anti-Terrorism Act. Isa kang tunay na influencer, Lloyd Cadena. Paalam.

He was also a book author, a radio disk jockey, a humanitarian, and a one-time member of a boy band. He was recently awarded the Social Good Award, given by the Creator and Influencer Council of the Philippines to those who “use their influence in promoting social awareness and for evangelizing the Filipinos with advocacy that addresses national matters and social relevance.”
It’s an honor he shares with none other than Angel Locsin as the first recipients of the award.

He has also won the 2016 LionhearTV RAWR Award for Favorite Influencer, and has more than 8 million subscribers between his two YouTube channels Lloyd Cafe Cadena and Lloyd Cafe Cadena Vlogs.
KweenLC, you will be missed.
