Why did you decide to join Bb. Pilipinas?
I just turned 18 then. I wasn’t planning to make a career out of it. I just wanted to test my confidence—I had low self-esteem in the past. I was a walk-in. I didn’t have an agent. Nung pilian pa lang I wasn’t that confident kasi yung iba may agents, parang they knew what they were doing. So when I was told that I was a part of the final 24, I already considered it as my prize. Kaya win or lose okay lang.
