Some of our kababayans have unfortunately lost their jobs as more and more companies try to cut costs.
Daddy and acoustic singer Jayson Plaza is one of those who were laid off when the pandemic started. He used to earn P80,000 to P90,000 a month as an acoustic singer in restaurants, bars, and hotels in Boracay.
"Malaki ang kitaan namin sa tip at saka sa talent fee rin namin," he said.
