Q & A
On the spot:
Why did you enter showbiz? “Actually, hindi ko inisip kahit kailan na magsho-showbiz ako, kasi alam kong sobrang hirap [dito]. Dumating na lang sa point na dinala lang ako ng kapalaran ko na dito ako dapat.”
What’s your biggest dream? “Sino ba naman ang hindi may gustong sobrang maayos ang buhay, di ba? At siguro napatunayan ko na sa sarili ko na kaya kong tumayo sa sarili kong paa na hindi ako umaasa sa kung ano mang mayroon kami. Syempre lagi kong iniisip na lahat ng bagay, hindi forever. Kaya ako, gusto ko magkabahay ako at magka-business. Para kahit anong mangyari sa akin, may fallback ako.”
Who or what is your inspiration? “Yung mga taong nakapaligid sa akin na sobrang nagtitiwala sa akin at sobrang mahal ako. Na alam kong [masaya] sila kung saan man ako nandito ngayon.”
Describe yourself in three words. “Makulit, kalog, kaibigan.”
