Diwata Rises Again
DIWATA – The social media personality and entrepreneur is gradually rebuilding his business after a previous venture failed.
On Sunday, February 15, he shared a Facebook post showcasing fresh vegetables he is now selling in Cavite, marking his return to business. In the post, he encouraged followers to support his new venture, demonstrating his determination to keep moving forward despite past setbacks.
The post received numerous reactions from netizens, who praised him for focusing on a healthy and legitimate business. Many noted that selling products that promote well-being is better than offering unhealthy options. Supporters encouraged him to stay strong, reminding him that life has ups and downs and that hard work pays off. Some even offered to supply him with vegetables, reflecting the community’s willingness to help him succeed.
Diwata’s new venture follows his struggles with his previous food stall, a “paresan.” He revealed that during the height of his fame, someone promised to turn his small eatery into a big franchise similar to a fast-food chain. Unfortunately, he never received the promised fees, leaving the business unsupported and ultimately leading to its failure.
Now, Diwata is moving forward with a fresh, more practical approach. By selling fresh vegetables, he focuses on a healthy, legal, and community-friendly business. His journey demonstrates that setbacks don’t define a person; learning from mistakes and starting over can lead to real success. With hard work, support, and quality products, Diwata is slowly reclaiming his place in the business world while inspiring others.
