II. Q & A

Why did you enter showbusiness?
I kept singing in school and for my friends. My dad finally asked me if I wanted to sing on TV too, I said “yes.”

What do you consider as the turning point in your career?
When I started to act. It was something I was really afraid to try because I dunno how people would receive me. But I’m happy I tried it coz I love, love, love acting.

If you weren’t in showbiz, what kind of career would you have?
I’d be a pre-school teacher

What is your biggest frustration/regret? No regrets.

What do most people don’t know about you?
That I don’t like to show people I’m sad or mad.

What is your most unforgettable moment/experience?
When I rode a motor bike. I was so scared but it’s the best thing ever. Sarap, the wind on your face mixed with the fear and excitement.

What are you most proud of?
When my blockmates and I launched our scholarship fund through a fundraising event.

What do you value most?
Try to build a solid foundation, finish school, keep in touch with old friends and stay close to your family. And of course, work hard and continually try to improve your craft.
