He said that because his projects are starting to pick up, the comedian could no longer be as hands-on with Siomai Himala.

Aware that comedy bars won't be able to recover from the effects of the pandemic anytime soon, Ate Gay said he now counts on other projects such as movies to earn."Parang magsisimula uli," he said.
