According to the report done by Manal Sugadol on GMA-7's 'Stand For Truth', Rain Paul Cervantes, who was previously a cruise ship chef, is now an ambulant vendor.

“Sa una po talagang aaminin ko nahiya po talaga ako na ganito yung ginagawa ko na dati isa akong chef sa barko tapos nang nangyari yung ganito.

"Diyan na lang po ako sa labas, nagtitinda, marami pong nakatingin na bakit naging ganyan,” Rain shared.

Furthermore, in the report done by The Filipino Times, Rain revealed that being an ambulant vendor is not his only source of income.

“So naisipan ko po na mag negosyo muna po ng paglalako ng isda. Pero hindi lang po yun yung naging isang negosyo ko na pang-tawid sa pandemya ngayon habang wala pang trabaho.

"Nag-titinda rin po ako ng almusal sa umaga, ulam sa tanghali, tsaka nag ba-barbeque po ako sa hapon,” he said.

Among his eight siblings, only Rain was able to finish his studies which made him the breadwinner of his family as his father had already passed away when he was still a child.
