I guess look back to the beginnings, yung song na Grow Old With You, what does that mean to you now?
00:09.6
I feel like Grow Old With You is, with me now, I think it would be something like relationships in terms of, especially being in this industry.
00:23.4
I feel like it's given a man in a lot of different kinds of fields, but especially in this industry, you know,
00:28.2
you can only really have a few people that you know is going to have your back, especially when shit hits the fan.
00:41.5
Because everybody's your friend when you're up there. Everybody's your friend when you're, you know, successful and wrestling and all of these things, right?
00:50.1
Pag nasa'y lahat ng awards, nasa'y lahat ng tao. But then, in your lowest points in life, that's when you know who those real people are, right?
00:58.2
Sila na lang yung tao na sa paligid mo.
00:60.0
Yeah, exactly. And I feel like that song, if I just try to get that from 10 years ago and put it in this now, here now, that would mean that.
01:11.1
Like, growing old in a sense of, you know, loyalty and trust with relationships, whether it be romantic or platonic and all of these kinds of things.
01:24.5
I feel like it would be that. Yeah, that's what I would use the song for.
01:28.2
Can you take us back to that fateful audition that, parang siguro pag-tunease natin yung kayo mo and it's your light event na parang if there's something that changed yung trajectory ng buhay mo, it would have been that audition, no?
01:41.2
Can you take us back and still remember kung ano ba yung tumatakot sa isip mo noong time na yun?
01:46.9
It, um, the thing is, I never really dreamed of any of this, right?
01:58.2
I know some people who dream of fame, who dream of success in the showbiz industry, pangarap maging artista, pangarap maging ganyan.
02:06.6
And that's good. And that's good. But me personally, it was never a dream of mine. I never dreamed of any of this.
02:18.0
It was more of like, um, a personal thing why I auditioned The Voice Kids.
02:26.1
It's because, in a nutshell,
02:28.2
growing up, me and my
02:30.6
I grew up with my lola and my uncle
02:32.4
and my mom had a different
02:35.8
the only time that we would bond
02:39.6
she would go with me
02:44.3
different kinds of auditions.
02:45.9
Kasi I just loved singing. And that was just
02:48.3
that. Wala lang. I just loved singing.
02:51.7
so siya naman, parang
02:54.5
bilang, I guess, supportive
02:56.2
mom na parang, ah, kung
02:58.2
if she was still around now, she'd be, like, the stage mom, right?
03:02.5
nagsusupport na, oh, sige, tara, audition tayo
03:04.4
dito, audition tayo dyan.
03:06.0
So ako naman, ah, that was, like, her main
03:08.7
strong bonding moment
03:13.6
well, stuff happened.
03:16.6
She passed away, and then,
03:18.5
because of cancer, and then
03:22.3
after she passed, I
03:24.2
saw on television, um,
03:30.4
again, I, I didn't see
03:32.5
that, and I was like, oh, wow, my God, I can finally
03:34.5
you know, achieve, I try
03:36.5
and join so that I can get to my goals.
03:38.8
It was more of, like, an homage
03:40.6
to my mom na parang, sige,
03:46.4
for the road, right? Parang, sige,
03:49.5
Start pa ng longer road ahead.
03:51.8
Right. But, like, from my perspective
03:54.4
as a 12-year-old kid, I was like, you know, sige,
03:56.4
gawin ko for mama, right?
03:59.9
Hindi niya, hindi niya nabuta yun, hindi niya nalaman yun.
04:02.3
Kasi nawala na siya.
04:03.8
So, parang for me, ha? Sige, try natin, ma.
04:08.4
Here we are! Whoa!
04:12.2
Pero yung, yung, ito,
04:14.1
anong nagbagit mo kanina, it wasn't
04:16.1
a straight line, no? Para siyang
04:17.9
after The Voice Kids,
04:20.0
para you dabble into,
04:22.8
I guess, your first time at acting.
04:25.5
I think my first one was MMK.
04:28.2
My life story, yeah.
04:29.8
Pero, di ba, parang,
04:31.4
para at the back of it, parang, siyempre,
04:34.0
nating-develop mo yung music mo and all that.
04:35.9
Pero, again, another critical juncture, siguro, yung
04:38.1
buwan, no? Right, right.
04:40.0
So, how did you get from The Voice Kids to buwan?
04:42.7
Oh, The Voice Kids to buwan
04:44.6
is not just like,
04:46.2
you know, one block away
04:47.9
from each other. It was,
04:52.2
different state in and of itself.
04:58.2
during that time, when I,
05:01.2
it goes back to what I
05:02.2
mentioned earlier, right? Like, the development
05:04.3
of a teenager's brain.
05:06.5
Everybody goes through a specific
05:08.3
phase in their teenage
05:10.3
years, right? Trying to figure out
05:12.1
who you are, your identity,
05:14.2
what you want to become, what you want to achieve, where you want
05:16.2
to go, what you want to do, all of these different
05:18.2
things you want to try. And,
05:21.2
especially, like, okay, I was
05:24.1
around, like, 16 at that time. And,
05:28.2
what I was doing, which was,
05:30.3
you know, acting. I was 16, 17. I was,
05:32.5
that time, I was doing A Love to Last.
05:34.5
And, I was enjoying that. But,
05:36.6
all of a sudden, you know,
05:40.3
development, parang,
05:44.3
nag-epiphany moment. Parang, why
05:48.2
music? I joined the singing
05:52.4
I've always loved singing.
05:54.8
Why am I not doing that?
05:58.2
People call me a musician because
06:00.2
of the fact that I joined
06:02.3
the singing competition, and because I would sing
06:04.3
every now and then on TV.
06:09.9
Like, not really.
06:16.5
musicians seeing me
06:17.8
the same way I see them.
06:20.8
So, bigla ako nagka, basically,
06:22.4
in a nutshell, bigla ako nagkaroon ng epiphany
06:24.4
moment na parang, ah, wow.
06:27.0
You know, I guess it's time for the,
06:28.2
that, rebel the face.
06:34.5
all of these things that I should not do?
06:38.4
I mean, actually, my expectations, I know,
06:40.3
you'd fit in sa, parang, cookie-cutter
06:42.5
mode. Right, right.
06:44.0
You'd be an idol type. Right, yeah.
06:46.5
No, and that was, I, I, I,
06:48.4
the farthest thing that happened with you.
06:49.6
And I assumed that was kind of the path that I was, you know,
06:52.6
kind of being, um,
06:56.5
towards. But, I, I,
06:58.2
it was more of a personal thing for me
07:00.3
na parang, no, no, no, I, I, I want to go
07:02.1
through all of these things that the people in the music
07:04.2
industry that I look up to went
07:06.2
through. I want to experience that.
