Some of them you may already know, but there are many of them which you may be surprised about.

Willie Revillame

Yes, Kuya Willie was not born with a golden spoon. He used to be a sidekick who was made to follow orders of others. Now, he has a yacht, several real estate properties, luxury cars and a very good career.

Coco Martin

If there's one person who can tell you what struggles an OFW goes through abroad, it's Coco Martin. Before the Hanggang Kailan actor, and now Ang Panday producer became the famous face in Philippine TV, he worked as a waiter and caregiver in Canada.

Ai-Ai delas Alas

Jericho Rosales

Like Coco Martin, Echo has tried almost everything. he became a driver, service crew and even sold fish as he tried helping his mother to make ends meet.

Richard Gomez

Yes, the now congressman used to serve burgers and fries at a restaurant. Thanks to his tall dark and handsome attributes, he got into showbiz and finally married the beautiful Lucy Torres.

So if these celebs made it, there's no stopping anyone from reaching his dreams. Like what Vice would say, "kapit lang." Oh and by the way, Vice Ganda is also another rags to riches story.
