Jericho Rosales
Jericho shared that before he made name in the showbiz industry, he was a fish vendor. He is proud of it. “Grabe yung puyat at pagod kasi 2 a.m. gigising na kami maghahanda ng mga isdang paninda, tapos 5 a.m. nagsisimula na kaming magbenta. Kaya lang pag-uwi, minsan ayaw kami pasakayin sa loob ng jeep kasi mabaho kami. So kapag amoy hasang yung kamay ko, tapos nakikita kami ng pasahero, tinatago ko na lang,” Jericho shared.
Willie Revillame
Willie experienced working as a barker for jeepney drivers and just being paid by few coins that slipped under the driver’s seat. Who can say that the former barker became one of the wealthiest person in the Philippines? The key of his fame is his generosity.
