Di ba, kahit binabagyo tayo ni Nando, grabe ang pasabog ng bagyo. Pero siyempre, iba pa rin ang galit. Di ba ate? Paanong hindi manggigigil talaga ‘yung mga Pilipino. Alam niyo ba na sa isang taon, 700 billion pesos ang nakukubra ng mga crocodile. ‘Yun ay parang 1.9 billion pesos a day. Tapos, ikaw na regular na manggagawa na sumasahod ng P525 to P600 a day, babawasan pa yun ng tax. At dun nga napupunta sa P1.9 billion per day. Di ba, asan ang patas na pakikipaglaban dun? Paano ka hindi manggigigil dun? Hindi tayo kulang sa pera ‘te. Marami lang talagang magnanakaw.”</p><p>While addressing his followers online, Christian made a request to his fellow content creators to find time to set aside their regular content to help spread more awareness on the pressing national issues. “Kaya naman, panawagan ko sa mga kapwa ko content creators, please gamitin niyo ang inyong mga platform. Tama na muna ‘yung mga patawa patawa. Dahil hindi naman tayo ang tunay na komedyante eh. ‘Yung komedyante ‘yung mga nakaupo. Ayoko na mag shout out kung sino yun (laughs) Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan tayo ng taong bayan. Ito lang ‘yung maitutulong natin sa kanila, ang bumoses para sa kanila. Salamat sa mga naninindig. Salamat.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO3NGlgEj3W/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A379447.6000000001%2C%22ls%22%3A378760.7000000002%2C%22le%22%3A379262.9000000004%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In September last year, Christian joined a segment on <em>It’s Showtime</em>, along with other popular content creators where he was interviewed by hosts Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro. </p>
