Dante Santos Gulapa (born January 20, 1980) is a Filipino internet and television personality known for his viral "macho dance" videos posted online on Facebook in 2019.[1] He was nicknamed the "Big Papa" or "King Eagle" by his fan base "Gulapanatics" or "Daigonatics" for his signature dance move.[2][3][4]

Personal life[]

Gulapa was raised by his grandparents as a child.[4] When his grandparents died, his life became traumatic and began to act tyrannically and oppressively.[5] When he was old enough, he visited night bars and started performing as a bar dancer. According to him, his struggle with financial issues pushed him to pursue erotic dancing.

He also took different jobs aside from being a performer.[6] He earned the moniker "Master Daigo" from Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken on PlayStation. The DJ at the bar where he worked added the titular "Master" as recognition for his excellence at performing and showmanship.[7]
