5 Kapuso celebs who showed entrepreneurial spirit while on quarantine


The COVID-19 lockdown has inspired many people to think of new ways to earn money while staying safe at home.

We’ve seen a lot of great ideas for online businesses, too — from selling fresh-baked goods to helping out-of-work service workers find jobs.

But did you know that some of your favorite celebrities are also doing some online “diskarte” to help their families and kababayans during the lockdown?

Here are just some Kapuso stars who were able to make use of the quarantine period and started something new. 

1. AiAi delas Alas

 

 

The Kapuso Comedy Concert Queen has opened Martina's Pastries and has been busy making batches and batches of fresh pandesal.

In an interview on GMA-7’s “Unang Hirit,” AiAi shared that she has been getting some help from her family, especially son Sancho who is a trained chef.

Hey everyone, I know we are now under GCQ but the reality is our covid cases keep rising through the days. We can't wait to go back to our normal lives but a little bit more patience will get us a long way! Nothing compares to being safe and indoors, that's why I wanted to do my part and help in my own little way by launching QUARANCLEANPH. This is basically a home service haircut and services that you can avail at the safety of your own home. This is also my way of helping highly skilled barbers from top salons in the country that are now unemployed because of this pandemic. We guarantee you that our staff undergone meticulous tests to ensure the safety of our clients. We also did our best to keep prices relatively close to normal salons/barbershops. I hope we can be of service soon! Pls follow @quarancleanph for more info and for advance bookings.

With his friends, the Kapuso hunk launched “Quaran-Clean PH,” a home service company to help displaced barbers earn a living amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Derrick, the business idea came to his mind after talking to his neighbor who lost his job as barber amid the lockdown.

Isa sa mga naging hilig ko noong habang naka ECQ tayo ay ang mga halaman. Di ko akalain na napakainteresting pala magalaga ng mga ito. Ipapakilala ko sa inyo ang dalawa sa mga alaga ko. Sa kaliwa, ang Monstera Deliciosia, at sa kanan, ang Monstera Thai Constellation, ang mga kinababaliwan ng mga Plantitas ngayon. At yes, Plantito na rin ako! Kaya nasimulan namin ang @allaboutplantsph ! Kaya bukas sa FB Live ng Dots How to do it, hindi muna si TSG Diego Ramos ang makakausap ninyo, kundi si Plantito Rocco muna! Gulay, herbs, at iba pa na pwede natin itanim sa labas at sa loob ng bahay natin. Pagusapan natin ang mga halaman ko, at kung paano makapagsimula ng sarili ninyong urban garden! Lahat ng gulay sa kantang bahay kubo, pwede nyo itanim. Sabay sabay tayo magpractice kung paano simulan magtanim ng mga gulay sa bahay natin, malaki man o maliit ang lugar ninyo. Kita kits bukas ng 7pm, June 11!

The “Descdendants of the Sun” star launched a humble plant business with his girlfriend Melissa Gohing and called it “All About Plants.”

Rocco, however, never stopped helping promoting other businesses. “It’s an act of tulungan. I have friends who are releasing songs or may bagong businesses sila. Sabi ko, just send it to me, anyway. I can promote. May way talaga para makatulong sa kakbabayan natin. We should,” Rocco told “Unang Hirit.”

And last but not least, the Kapuso Primetime King has bared plans to launch a delivery app that seeks to employ displaced workers from the entertainment industry as riders.

Dingdong hopes to bring the app to life very soon, especially as several of his workmates need jobs to support their families during the pandemic. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
