Dante Gulapa sells lumpia to earn a living after losing gigs amid pandemic

Dante Gulapa has started a food and delivery business to earn a living, after losing gigs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

As seen in his recent FB posts, the internet star has started selling lumpia and mango float in Malabon City and nearby areas, including barangays in Valenzuela and Caloocan City.

According to Dante, he tries to personally deliver orders to customers as much as he can, but orders can also be delivered via couriers.

“Hi mga ka-idol, may gusto umorder ng mga tinda ko po. (Murang-mura lang po, gawa ni Big Papa Dante. Ako na mag-(de-deliver) mismo sa bahay ninyo,” Dante said.

“Kayo na bahala sa shipping fee basta hanggang puwede ko lang deliveran,” he added.

Dante Gulapa is a former macho dancer who gained online fame after his “flying eagle” dance move went viral on social media.

The internet sensation recently admitted to losing gigs amid the COVID-19 pandemic and was looking for new ways to continue supporting family.

“Kailangan ko na po mag-hanapbuhay, mga idol, para masuportahan ko tatlo kong anak kasi ’yong mga pautang ko na pera kinita ko hindi po ako nakakasingil,” Dante said in earlier FB post.

He added that, although he doesn’t have work experience, “puro diskarte lang po alam ko.”

Apart from being a former macho dancer, he earned a living reselling food like graham cake, leche flan and tocino. He also drove a tricycle and lent money to gambling cockfighters. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
