Dumating lang sa punto na naghirap &#x27;yung family. Doon ko naranasan &#x27;yung hirap, wala ng sapatos. 2013 nag-start ako ng negosyo. Doon ko na nakukuha gusto ko bilhin. Hindi na katulad ng dati,” he said during his thanksgiving birthday bash in Tondo, Manila on Wednesday afternoon. </p><p>(&quot;I wasn&#x27;t born into poverty. It just came to a point where my family struggled. That&#x27;s when I experienced hardship, without shoes. In 2013, I started my business, and that’s when I was able to afford to but these things.)</p><p>“Napakasaya ko ngayon, lagi ko sinasabi sa post. Kahit &#x27;di pa ako mayaman, umandar na buhay ko.

Even though I&#x27;m not rich yet, my life has started to improve. I&#x27;ve gone through a process. I know I&#x27;m heading towards a better future for myself and my loved ones.)</p><p>The rapper boasts over 400 items owned by Filipino celebrities and personalities, which he plans to display in his museum by October.  “Depende sa kwento, sa rarity,&quot;  he explained. (Depends on the story or rarity)</p><p>“Gusto ko bigyang halaga &#x27;yung pinaghirapan ng mga sikat. Dati walang halaga gamit nila. Bigyan natin ng halaga pinaghirapan nila,” he added. </p><p>(I want to give value. Celebrities worked hard for these. Before, their belongings had no value.
