Known for his humorous skits on social media and as a self-proclaimed “content creator of good vibes,” Christian Antolin showed the public a more serious side as he walked in solidarity with other Filipinos during the Trillion Peso March event last Sunday, September 21. Christian first gained popularity online during the pandemic when he decided to create content as a side hustle.
In his post on Instagram and Tiktok, Christian shared a clip of him walking towards the EDSA People Power Monument along with the rest of the crowd in cloudy weather conditions. “Diyos ko po, andito ngayon si dalaga sa EDSA. Di ba, kahit binabagyo tayo ni Nando, grabe ang pasabog ng bagyo. Pero siyempre, iba pa rin ang galit. Di ba ate? Paanong hindi manggigigil talaga ‘yung mga Pilipino. Alam niyo ba na sa isang taon, 700 billion pesos ang nakukubra ng mga crocodile. ‘Yun ay parang 1.9 billion pesos a day. Tapos, ikaw na regular na manggagawa na sumasahod ng P525 to P600 a day, babawasan pa yun ng tax. At dun nga napupunta sa P1.9 billion per day. Di ba, asan ang patas na pakikipaglaban dun? Paano ka hindi manggigigil dun? Hindi tayo kulang sa pera ‘te. Marami lang talagang magnanakaw.”
While addressing his followers online, Christian made a request to his fellow content creators to find time to set aside their regular content to help spread more awareness on the pressing national issues. “Kaya naman, panawagan ko sa mga kapwa ko content creators, please gamitin niyo ang inyong mga platform. Tama na muna ‘yung mga patawa patawa. Dahil hindi naman tayo ang tunay na komedyante eh. ‘Yung komedyante ‘yung mga nakaupo. Ayoko na mag shout out kung sino yun (laughs) Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan tayo ng taong bayan. Ito lang ‘yung maitutulong natin sa kanila, ang bumoses para sa kanila. Salamat sa mga naninindig. Salamat.”
In September last year, Christian joined a segment on It’s Showtime, along with other popular content creators where he was interviewed by hosts Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro.
