Bryan Ramos Tula, 21, from Tukananes, Cotabato province in Mindanao. Bryan was a first year high school student in 2007 when he started cutting hair for his nephews and cousins. He also cut his friends hair for free. He moved to Taguig last August 2015 where he started getting paid to cut hair, at Lie’s Barber Shop fronted by a stall selling fresh chicken meat, innards and feet. Bryan finished high school but he did not complete his university course in Agriculture. He continued to work as a wedding events stage designer and later sought greener pastures in Manila. He is the youngest of four kids. He shares 20/20 pesos with the owner and can cut at least 15 persons a day. Bryan, who is a Muslim, occasionally discusses religion with his fellow barber and customers. Admittedly, he shared he sometimes gets complaints from customers who are not happy with his haircut. “You cannot please everyone,” he said.
