This includes celebrities like Sam Concepcion who turn to different things other than their lives as performers.<\/p>\n<p>The entertainment industry is undergoing several major developments starting from the health protocols affecting productions and financial setbacks that have delayed and canceled projects. All these were caused by the virus but in the midst of this was also the shutdown of industry giant, ABS-CBN.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, thanks to online platforms, fans are still up to date with their favorite celebrities&#8217; lives. These posts and stories have shown that lot are starting their entrepreneur journeys, while some are also looking into farming. For Concepcion, he said that he is thankful that most of his activities these days are still music-related.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuckily the bulk of the work that I\u2019m doing now are more like live shows, private corporate events and stuff like that but it\u2019s still all music-related.
