Salagdoong beach is worth to experience.” Some netizens also expressed their concerns for the actor’s safety after his experience.  “Oi, ingat... I know you’re a good swimmer pero be careful,” a netizen said. A TikToker said, “Ingat next time, mahal.” Outside his thriving career in the showbiz industry, Enchong is known by many as a successful entrepreneur.  Last January, Enchong shared in an interview with his fellow PBB host Bianca Gonzalez his motivation of venturing into business.  “At first it was more of, when I was growing up, we don&#x27;t own anything. I don&#x27;t own my clothes, I don&#x27;t own any toys. We don&#x27;t own anything. I grew up in a very simple family life,” he said.  In the same interview, the actor emphasized the importance of investments, implying that a career in show business has its end. &quot;At one point people will be moving on from showbiz industry so sabi ko I want to take care of this,&quot; he said. “Nandito na ako eh, gusto ko siyang galingan but at the same time the reality is, once you reach a certain age, mababawasan at mababawasan &#x27;yung mga projects na darating sa&#x27;yo but I want to be able earn the same way as I&#x27;ve been earning in my peak. So sabi ko, okay I will invest with the things na dumating sa akin.&quot; Just recently, Enchong also revealed in actress-comedian Eugene Domingo’s vlog his dream of becoming a philanthropist, aiming to support the education of less fortunate children.  &quot;When a person is empowered, hindi ka pwedeng tapakan, hindi ka pwedeng insuluthin, because you are an empowered human being,&quot; he said. <div> </div>—By Clarence Gillego
