00:00Do you consider General Luna, please, as a pivot, I mean a kind of pivot, in your career?
00:11To a bigger plane, yes, but the first one was in theater when I did a lot of musicals
00:23with Ryan and Biab, in theater, I felt like, wow, I'm doing a musical as a
00:29lead performer, El Filibusterismo, No Limit Angere, imagine, Regine Velasquez
00:38became my leading lady, my partner in No Limit Angere, yes, and then when Rizal came,
00:48I was the main, I was the main in all of them, so when I had co-alternates,
00:53I was the main, so, thank you, so, for me, wow, I'm here, I did this, I used to sing
01:04in amateur contests in Baler, really?
01:07You did amateur contests?
01:09Yes, I'm an amateurist, my sister, my sister-in-law, always, boy, there's an amateur contest
01:14in Barangay Juan, come on, boy, there's an amateur contest in Barangay Bahamin,
01:18let's go together, and you won?
01:20I'm always first, what's the winning song?
01:22Usually, the winning song, that was the time of Rico J. Puno, until my adolescent age,
01:31when I was 13, my vocal capacity changed, or my voice box changed, so, for the first
01:46time, my voice cracked, I was 13 or 12 years old.
01:51And you were singing Kapalaran?
01:53I was singing Kapalaran, and from then on, 13 years, I had stage fright, I couldn't sing
02:00on stage, that's when I shifted to acting.
02:03Oh, my God.
02:05That's when I became a trauma in singing, and I stopped singing, and for 13 years,
02:12I wasn't able to sing on stage, I was singing, I needed a duet, so I became a choir,
02:20assistant to choir master in Baler Aurora, because I couldn't sing anymore.
02:25I shifted now, since I know I have a passion in singing and performance, I went to acting.
02:31What an inspiring story.
03:43Hey!
03:47Hey!
