Jimmy Santos shows no shame in working as a fishball vendor

Former comedian and TV personality Jimmy Santos is proving that humility and hard work can shine brighter than the limelight. Now spotted in Nueva Ecija, Santos is no longer performing for the camera — he’s serving fishballs under the sun.

Drenched in sweat and surrounded by sizzling oil, the once-famous funnyman summed up his new chapter with a candid reminder: “Kung walang tiyaga, nganga.”

After gaining praise last year for collecting and selling scrap materials in Canada, Santos has continued to embrace honest work, earning admiration from Filipinos not just for his past roles, but for his present resilience.
