01:00Some of my friends would tell me,

01:02tama na yan, baka di para sa'yo,

01:05mapapagod ka lang.

01:07Lagi ka namang talo eh.

01:09Karang sumali.

01:10Bakit ka sasali dyan?

01:13Anong mapapala mo?

01:15My motivation is simply,

01:16never stop.

01:17I will never stop dreaming big.

01:19Tuwing may makikita akong batang singer na sumasali sa singing contest,

01:27naalala ko nung nag-umpisa akong mga arap.

01:31Noong panahon, nagsiself-train ako paano kumanta.

01:34Panahon kung kani-kanino ako pumupunta para makipractice.

01:38Kung kani-kanino ako nakikisabay para makabiyahin papunta sa singing contest.

01:44I cannot deny my struggles when I am facing young talented singers.

01:50How may gonna cope up sa new generation sound?

01:53Nagdo-double time ako to catch up

01:55to the point na

01:56nagkasuffer na yung katawang ko.

02:00Mentally and emotionally,

02:03kinakalabang ko yung sarili ko.

02:05Nakakasakit ako.

02:06So now,

02:08I'm learning how to balance it

02:10and reminding myself

02:12while praying

02:13that not everyone will like me.

02:16Just do what will make you shine

02:17kung mamagitan ng pagiging totoo mo

02:20bilang isang mga awit.

02:22Show them what you're best at

02:23without making it.

02:25Naniniwala ako

02:26na hindi man binigay sa akin

02:28ng tagumpay

02:29kagaya ng mga

02:30kasabayan ko sa mga nakaraan.

02:32But in God's perfect time,

02:33the title that I deserve

02:36will be mine soon

02:37magiging akin.

02:39Lagi lang akong kakatok

02:40until one day,

02:42isang pintuan ang magpubukas

02:44para sa katuparan

02:45ng mga dasal kong pangarap.

02:47Ngayon na nagbabalik ako

02:48sa entablado ng tanghalan ng kampiyon

02:51na sinalihan ko pa lamang

02:52nung ako'y sampung taon.
