Team Payaman’s Lincoln “Cong TV” Velasquez and Viy Cortez-Velasquez are expecting their second child!
The YouTube stars made the exciting announcement on Viy’s Instagram account and YouTube channel. Sitting with their son Zeus Emmanuel–affectionately known as Kidlat, who wore a shirt with the words “Big Brother,” Cong and Viy recounted how they found out about the pregnancy.

The announcement: Plastwo
Cong and Viy shared the news in their usual lighthearted style. In a vlog titled, Plastwo, Viy emotionally shared, “Sa bawat pahina ng aking buhay, ang aking paborito ay ang pagdating ng isang Cong. At hindi pa dun natapos, may humigit pa nang naisulat din ang isang Kidlat. At ngayon, may panibagong isusulat na kabanata, na magiging kuya na si Kidlat.”
According to the vlog, Viy discovered the pregnancy on August 10. She showed multiple pregnancy tests: one reading negative, while another showed a second, positive line. Viy then holds a third test onscreen, waiting for the result. Finally, the test’s screen revealed the word, “Pregnant,” and Viy, overcome with emotion, began to cry, breaking into a happy smile.
The vlog also captured Cong’s reaction when he learned the news. Viy handed him a small box containing the positive pregnancy test. Cong, upon opening the box, asked with wide eyes, “Totoo nga?”
Team Payaman is growing
The reactions from Team Payaman and their families were equally heartwarming, with plenty of congratulations and cheers. Several even chimed in, “Sana girl naman!”
Viy also took a moment to reflect on how this pregnancy feels different. “Noong kay Kidlat, hindi ko bet mag-ayos noon. Parang gusto ko na sa bahay lang.” This time, however, she finds herself more excited about dressing up and fully embracing the experience. “Gusto ko maganda ako.”
The vlog concludes with the family at an ultrasound session, checking on their new little one. And with Cong playfully asking Kidlat if he would prefer a brother or a sister.
Under construction
Cong and Viy’s previously hinted at their plans for a second child during an interview with Smart Parenting as they attended their first-ever GMA Gala on July 20. At the time, Viy shared, “Under construction na,” while Cong added, “Ginagawa na po talaga namin siya, lahat ng paraan po.”
The couple celebrated their dream fairytale wedding in June 2024, after being together for nine years.
Congratulations, Cong, Viy, and soon-to-be Kuya Kidlat!
