Kung papalarin man, kung tutulungan man ng Panginoon na makapasok sa vlog,&quot; he added.&gt;&gt;EMBED: https://youtu.be/jlfkJEoO5dU?si=R5y507dMBpJO0vYjSolas strives to be the same person on and off the camera, with his relatable and authentic persona connects him to his viewers and fans.&quot;[Kapag] Wala pong camera, ganon pa rin po [ako]. Pareho rin po. Pareho lang. Matulungin, ayan. Parang kung sa may camera at wala, pareho lang po,&quot; he said.&quot;&#x27;Yan talaga, &#x27;pag kahit &#x27;yung video mo nasa sakto [ang views] o marami, may mangba-bash, mga ganyan, manghuhusga… Tinatanggap pa rin kung anong sinasabi nila, mga bad comment. Salamat pa rin kasi kung wala sila, hindi tayo sisikat,&quot; he added.Solas values the comments of his viewers, good or bad, believing that these are essential to improving himself in content creation.<div>&#x27;Good catch&#x27;</div>From only using his phone, Solas was eventually able to invest in a GoPro camera, allowing him to conveniently film videos even in the middle of the ocean.Through vlogging, he is able to earn more than his maximum income of P3,000 as a fisherman. He considers his side hustle as a &quot;good catch,&quot; as it makes him feel good to be appreciated by many online. It also gives him the opportunity to help those in need.&quot;Noong malakas &#x27;yung amihan, tapos walang makapaglaot… May manghihingi ng bigas, may mga emergency katulad ng may sakit, nakakapagbigay rin,&quot; Solas narrated. &quot;Malaking tulong &#x27;yung pagba-vlog, kasi kahit hindi ka maglaot [may kita pa rin],&quot; he added.
