This macho dancer has saved enough to build a house, continues to earn by performing from home

A macho dancer has been performing from home, with an audience watching him online via Zoom, adding to his already hefty savings and allowing him to buy a lot and build a house.

Evo Martin is a farmer by day, and a proud macho dancer from home at night. He is more popularly known as "Yum Evo."

"A friend messaged me, asking if I was willing to perform over Zoom," Evo narrated in Filipino, in a recent episode of "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.

"OK lang basta sasayaw lang ako dito sa loob ng bahay lang, para safety na rin."

Evo said there was a time he earned P30,000 in one night.

"Sa mga tip pa lang, panalo na. Send niyo muna sa GCash then tsaka ako magsasayaw," Evo said.

His savings has allowed Evo to buy back their lot at about P1 million and then build a house that cost nearly P2 million.

He was also able to invest in some gold jewelry.

According to CIDG-PNP Head Pltcol. Ivy Castillo, macho dancing is not illegal.

"Nagiging illegal lang siya kung nagsasayaw lang siya ng hubad-hubad na pinipilit siya for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Nakikita ko na magiging violation siya sa batas natin dito sa Pilipinas."
