FAMOUS: This actor sells tuyo and bangus during pandemic

Published Jun 3, 2022 01:39 pm

Actor Neil Coleta shared what helped him got through the pandemic when work in showbiz got scarce and his career slowed down.

“Kaya ako nagtinda ako ng mga bangus, mga gourmet. Sinubukan ko lahat kasi walang arti-artista at that time eh. Nung 2020 nagtinda ako. Nag-alok ako sa social media, nag-de-deliver ako ng ice cream. Kasi hindi puwedeng dun ka lang mag-se-stay. Mauubos ka. Lalo ako may binubuhay akong pamilya. Kaya kailangan gumawa ako ng paraan.

“Walang showbiz, walang taping so gawa ka ng paraan. So napaikot ko naman. Kailangan eh. Hindi tayo puwedeng mabuhay ng naka-stay ka lang sa ganyan. Kumayod ako. Doon sila na-inspire sa akin. Sa akin naman, nag-e-enjoy ako and at the same time nagkakapera ako and may nakakain kami sa araw-araw,” revealed Neil, during an interview.

Neil said that selling products has now become a reliable source of income for his family.

“Ngayon meron pa rin, beef tapa naman ang tinda ko at saka gourmet tuyo at tinapa. Nag-re-resell ako. Si DJ (Padilla) umo-order lagi sa akin at si Joshua (Garcia). Yung mga kaibigan natin sa industriya sinusubok subukan ko, binibigyan bigyan natin para mag-promote. Tapos may liquor store din naman ako sa Cavite nitong pandemic. Para sa mga mahilig sa alak (laughs). Coleta’s liquor store sa Dasmarinas, Cavite,” he added.



Stem cell expert and businessman Jeff Nicdao revealed in our exclusive interview that if given the chance, he will give his best selling “V My Beauty” deer placenta to three showbiz personalities who, despite their years, still look oung and active.

“I admire Ina Raymundo, Alice Dixson and Gabby Concepcion. They are very good looking for their age and their careers are still very active," Nicdao said.

The handsome CEO also thanked Korina Sanchez for the special “Rated Korina” feature on Stem cell in the Philippines.
