00:04Well, know this, you auditioned for Starstruck.
00:08Oh my gosh, ito boy, name it.
00:10Really?
00:11Oh my god, that's the picture.
00:12You?
00:13Yes, right?
00:14As a sex bomb dancer.
00:16I thought you were auditioning for sex bomb.
00:18Right?
00:20Really?
00:20Okay, take us there.
00:22How was it?
00:24Tito boy, that picture, I didn't get used to the mall audition.
00:28Hanggang mall auditioned lang ako.
00:30No, pa lang huminto.
00:31Huminto na po yung journey ko doon.
00:33Hindi na ako nakausad.
00:35Name it Tito Boy, PBB also auditioned and I was rejected as well.
00:39Starstruck Kids, I got rejected at a bunch of other contests also.
00:44And looking back ngayon, it's such a full circle moment.
00:46Imagine, I auditioned for PBB, I became the host.
00:49I auditioned for Starstruck Kids and now I'm in GMA.
00:53So talagang things are just really meant for you in the future.
00:56Parang kailangan mo lang maging patient.
00:58And you don't realize na napaka-inspiring yan sa napakaraming mga bata na nagmamasin sa ating pag-uusap na yun.
01:04Yes, that's true.
01:04That you just don't give up.
01:06Exactly.
01:07That's why I feel like I play such an important role.
01:09And I'm blessed to be able to share my own experiences with our kiddie talents also.
01:15Right.
01:15Okay.
01:17I'm tempted to tell you the story because I judged a reality contest for a long time.
01:25Yes.
01:26For a long, long time.
01:27You know, I really don't remember when I was in my dressing room with my mom.
01:30Oh my gosh.
01:31Ano nangyari, Tito Boy?
01:33She was so mad.
01:33Oo, sinabi sa akin, ikaw ang sisira ng kinabukasan ng aking anak.
01:36Oh my gosh.
01:37Ikaw ang magiging dahilan kung bakit matutuloy ang pag ganun.
01:41So lagot ka, Tito Boy?
01:42Hindi naman.
01:44Nangaral din ako sa kanya.
01:46You know, I saw that as an opportunity.
01:49Na para sabihin sa,
01:50Nay, importante rin yung pinakikingan mo ang anak mo.
01:53At importante na, you know, your child is not living whatever failed dreams.
01:59You know, that's what I'm thankful for for my parents.
02:01When I was younger, when I used to audition to these kinds of contests,
02:05they never really forced me.
02:08Nothing was ever forced.
02:09Lahat ng mga sinalihan ko, ako yung nagsabi na gusto kong sumali sa mga contests na yun.
02:14Pero anong ginagawa nila pag nare-reject ka?
02:17Um, they don't make it a big deal, really.
02:21Let's go to the next one.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Parang, it's always, it's okay.
02:25You had fun.
02:25You made friends.
02:26I always viewed it like that.
02:28Na parang, ang dami mong nakuha,
02:30ang dami mong nakuha ng good things out of it.
02:32Like, good experiences, good friendships.
02:34So, it made me even parang wanna join more contests.
02:38But when you were auditioning,
02:40nag-umpisa ka sa pagiging singer, sa pagkanta, di ba?
02:43Yes.
02:44Alam ni Tito Boy, lahat yung riko.
02:45As a b-book kid nga kasi,
02:47sa school lahat yung riko,
02:48sumayaw, kumanta, mag-host,
02:51lahat minasukan ko.
02:52Kasi nga, I really felt happy whenever I perform in front of an audience.
02:56So, kahit hindi ko abot yung kanta,
02:58ay, magagawa natin ng paraan yan.
03:00Ganon.
03:00Anong kinakanta niyo dito?
03:02We were singing a song by Rihanna called California King Ben.
03:06Riri, okay.
03:07So, ayan, two high schoolers.
03:10Si Janine is a good friend.
03:12She's super successful in OPM right now.
03:15As she should kasi magaling siya talaga.
03:17Napakahusay.
03:18Yes, and ito ako, as a singer din ako dyan.
03:21Akala ko, di ba?
03:23Walang ano, walang audio.
03:25Ang sarap sana.
03:26Huwag na nating i-audio.
03:27Gusto mo live?
03:28Live!
03:31Ang galing na mismo kay Gabby.
03:33I-live mo nga.
03:34Ikaw si Janine.
03:35Huwag naman.
03:38Pero ikaw talaga yung talent siguro na,
03:40hindi nung bata ka pa na,
03:41talagang ang dali-daling pasayawin, pakantahin.
03:44Yes, dito boy.
03:45Kasi gustong gusto ko siya.

04:09to go to the industry or whatever.
04:11It was just really me having so much fun.
04:13It was a career in itself.
04:16And then your audition,
04:17this was a GMA7.
