“Ang trabaho ko talaga, tumugtog. Halos everyday dati tumutugtog kami. Bigla na lang isang iglap, nawala lahat 'yon,” he said.
Since his livelihood is one of the most affected industries during the pandemic, Chin and his wife launched an online food business which sells milk tea and some Filipino favorites such as beef sisig, barbecue, and buttered chicken, among others.

The musician likewise admitted that his pride took a hit at first, but his desire to provide for his family won over. Now, he happily delivers orders from their customers.
“Ginawa namin, bumili ng motor, kahit na 'yung secondhand lang muna. Kailangan namin kumuha ng rider. Nagprisinta ako sa misis ko,” he shared.
Meanwhile, a few photos featuring Chin while delivering orders went viral recently as one of his supporters recognized him.
“Naka-mask ako tsaka naka-helmet pa ako, nakakatawa. Tinanong niya ako, 'Kuya pamilyar kayo, kayo ba 'yung sa MYMP?' Sabi ko, 'Ako nga.'
“Tuwang-tuwa siya nagpa-picture. 'Yun 'yung nag-viral na photo. Nagulat ako na lahat ng reaksyon puro positive. Lalo akong na-inspire na ituloy lang ito,” he added.
