David, maraming beses nalugi sa negosyo!

Hindi kailan man sumagi sa isipan ni David Licauco noong kanyang kabataan na magiging isang artista. Nagmula ang Kapuso actor sa pamilya ng mga negos­yante kaya hindi inakalang mapapasabak sa mundo ng show business. “Growing up as a kid, I came from a family na business oriented talaga. It’s more of like showbiz ‘yung nakakagulat na pinasok ko. Kasi it wasn’t in my plans. ‘Di naman ako kagwapuhan dati. For me it was a far-fetched, ‘yung acting,” pagbabahagi ni David sa TikTok account ng Izkul of Dizkarte.

Mahigit sampung taon nang aktibo ang binata sa industriya kaya nakapagpundar na rin ng­ i­lang negosyo. Bukod sa ilang restaurants ay mayroon na ring sariling construction company si David. “I feel like showbiz kasi is an industry na you never know kung kailan ka pwedeng mawala. ‘Di mo alam kung may show ka, kung magkakaroon ka ng endorsements. Next thing you know, may bagong David Licauco, ‘di ba? I think it’s wise to invest your money in business,” giit ng aktor.

Nakaranas na ng pagkalugi si David sa ilang naging negosyo noon. Hindi nagtagumpay ang aktor sa kanyang boxing gym, fast food franchise at milk tea shop. Para kay David ay hindi kailangang sumuko sa tuwing nalulugi ang isang negosyo. “Failure does not define us. It’s a lesson, a tuition fee, I would say. Mahal na tuition fee but still tuition fee. I’ve failed so many times before but that didn’t stop me from going after what I want,” makahulugang pahayag ng binata.

Nadine, balik-tv na

Magtatatlong taon na ang nakalilipas nang magpasyang maging vegan si Nadine Lustre. Mula Agosto, 2022 ay sinisikap na ng aktres na mapanindigan ang kanyang naging desisyon. “I’ve been vegan for almost three years now. And it’s hard to stray from that. I really can’t. If this is what I’m fighting for, these are my values. Even when it comes to my businesses, I want to make sure they align,”  nakangitingpahayag ni Nadine.

Mayroong payo ang aktres sa ibang nais din na maging vegan tulad niya. Ayon kay Nadine ay talagang hindi rin naging madali ang kanyang naging desisyon noon. “If people want to try out a more plant-based lifestyle, It’s really not overnight. Every time people ask me, they think I did it overnight, but it’s really a process. I first went pescetarian, then eventually vegetarian, and then went fully vegan. It’s really not an instant switch. You have to give yourself the time and patience to adjust,” paliwanag ng dalaga.

Samantala, mapapanood nang muli sa telebisyon si Nadine. Isa ang aktres sa magsisilbing hurado sa Masked Singer Pilipinas na malapit nang mapanood sa TV5. “It’s not a long-running project. We’re only shooting for a month because it’s just one season of Masked Singer. I’m very excited about it because working on set is just so fun. I didn’t imagine it would be this enjoyable. If you all know, Masked Singer, the contestants wear costumes, and it’s a celebrity singing competition. It’s really a unique and exciting show,” paglalahad ng aktres. — Reports from JCC
