Jimmy Santos Takes on Street Food Challenge
JIMMY SANTOS – In his latest vlog, Jimmy Santos takes on a new role as a street food vendor in the bustling streets of Nueva Ecija.
Veteran comedian and former “Eat Bulaga” host Jimmy Santos recently took on a new challenge that warmed the hearts of many fans—selling street food in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. Just over a month after returning to the Philippines from a trip to Canada, Santos immersed himself in the daily grind of local vendors, documenting the experience on his YouTube vlog released on May 29.
In the vlog, Santos is seen cheerfully manning a small food stall in what looks like a local market. Not content with just taking orders, he also tried his hand at preparing the food himself—all while engaging with curious and delighted customers.
Santos highlighted the physical demands and dedication required in this line of work. “This job is hard for vendors because they work under the heat of the sun and even under the pouring rain. They need to be patient to earn money,” he shared. He added, “This type of work requires patience. You have to be strong and healthy to be able to do this.”
As the vlog wrapped up, Santos introduced the stall owner and expressed deep respect for street vendors and their resilience. His experience shed light on the often overlooked efforts of hardworking Filipinos who rely on small businesses for their livelihood.
Santos’ heartfelt encounter with the street food scene comes after his much-talked-about return to the country in April. Addressing rumors, he clarified that he did not migrate to Canada but was simply there to visit his grandchild. He is currently residing alone in Pampanga.
In 2023, Santos also drew attention online for a vlog showing him collecting and recycling cans and plastic bottles in Canada, which resonated with many for its sincerity and humility.
Through these vlogs, Jimmy Santos continues to inspire viewers by embracing everyday experiences with humor, humility, and heart.
