" I'm very well-known as a technical singer, because I know what happens when the technique is wrong, you could very well destroy the one thing you have that earns you money for your family. Because I know the horror of what happens when that thing fails when your instrument decides to rebel and stop working for you."
" I think the most stressful part about it is that it's not just me, an actor in London losing my voice; it's me, a Filipino with so many millions of pairs of eyes on me, and I felt like if I could not do my job well, I was failing an entire country. That's the kind of thing I had in my mind, and to be 18, and have that is HUGE. "
" So when I held the bronze trophy in my hand it was a reward for everything, and it was like, I didn't let my country down, after all, I'm still able to stand as a proud Filipino on the stage and accept an award, because it's like I made millions of people proud at home, that has been waiting for something like this.
