With a peculiar style, Delgado has become the star of the ‘guaiac underworld’, as PRIMICIAS reported, in a profile published on March 12, 2023.
His reports reflect the daily life of the suburban sectors of Guayaquil, with all its problems and challenges. There, Delgado “hunts” characters, beggars, scoundrels or simple people who sleep outdoors on an old mattress.
