00:00 But now, I'm focused on music.

00:04 But if I get a chance, I'll get a Viva Max.

00:08 Hello, PEPsters and welcome to PEP Spotlight.

00:26 Our guest today is the son of the legendary singer, April Boy Rejino.

00:31 He also made his own name in the local music industry.

00:34 Ladies and gentlemen, please all welcome, JC Rejino.

00:38 Yes, good evening to all the viewers.

00:41 Hello to all our PEPsters.

00:45 I'm JC Rejino.

00:47 Thank you for joining us tonight, JC.

00:50 But PEPsters, before we find out what's the latest from JC,

00:53 let's play a game. Let's play an icebreaker.

00:56 Our icebreaker is "This or That".

00:58 So JC, in "This or That", we'll give you two situations,

01:09 or two words, or choices.

01:12 Just choose what you want to do.

01:15 Then tell me why you chose that.

01:19 Maybe it's too hard to choose.

01:23 No, it's not.

01:24 Just like the PEPsters, you'll get to know the PEPsters better.

01:29 Okay?

01:30 Okay.

01:31 Here we go. We'll flash the questions.

01:33 First choice.

01:35 For "This or That",

01:36 live performance or studio recording?

01:40 Uh...

01:42 Live performance, maybe.

01:45 Do you prefer live performance

01:48 over recording your stuff in the studio?

01:51 I like both.

01:53 I get to interact with the people more in live performance.

01:58 It's more personal and makes them happy.

02:01 But both are good.

02:05 It's like "This and That".

02:09 It's the same.

02:10 But live performance is more important to you.

02:14 - Because of the interaction. - Yes, it's good.

02:16 My dad gives me a hat.

02:19 So, when I do live performance, I give him a hat.

02:23 And I give him my clothes or CD.

02:27 - Hmm. - That's how it is.

02:29 Okay, next.

02:32 Pop or rock?

02:34 Uh...

02:36 "This and That".

02:39 - It's the same. - It's the same.

02:42 I like both pop and rock.

02:46 - I'll go with pop rock. - Pop rock.

02:49 - Pop rock. - It's the same as your dad.

02:52 - Pop rock. - It's like Bon Jovi.

02:55 Hmm.

02:57 Okay, next.

02:59 White or dark?

03:01 [laughs]

03:04 "This and That" too.

03:06 It depends.

03:08 Can we play "This and That" now?

03:11 "This and That" only?

03:13 You have two options.

03:16 - Yes, because... - You can say it.

03:19 Because each has its own beauty.

03:23 Some are dark and some are light.

03:28 I'm attracted to both.

03:32 But I don't like the color.

03:36 Hmm. As long as you love it.

03:39 Yes, as long as I love it.

03:41 And I love you. I won't leave you.

03:44 - Okay, next. - Okay.

03:46 Rain or sunshine?

03:49 Rain or sunshine?

03:51 What is it?

03:53 Maybe sunshine.

03:55 - Sunshine. - Because...

03:57 - Yes, because... - Pop rock.

03:59 When it rains, I get sad.

04:02 I get sad often.

04:04 Because I'm sentimental.

04:06 Okay, I'll ask that later.

04:08 Okay.

04:09 Last.

04:10 This is connected to your songs.

04:13 Will you do a deadman or will you accept it again?

04:16 Oh.

04:18 Maybe I'll accept it again.

04:22 When it's two.

04:24 Deadman.

04:26 Two or three. That's enough.

04:28 Maybe, of course...

04:30 Everybody deserves a second chance.

04:34 Wow.

04:36 You're so kind.

04:38 You believe in second chance.

04:41 Of course.

04:43 Okay, so...

04:45 So that if I make a mistake, they'll accept me.

04:49 That's it.

04:51 Yes.

04:53 Okay, so because of that,

04:55 we've already touched on relationships.

04:58 Let's talk about your latest single, "Wala Na."

05:02 So, tell us about this new single, "Wala Na."

05:06 I wrote this song.

05:11 This song is for people who are crazy in love.

05:18 People who have been left behind,

05:21 who have been hurt,

05:23 but they're still chasing after them.

05:25 Even if they're hurt,

05:28 their heart is still shouting,

05:30 "It's still him."

05:32 But the pain is gone.

05:35 Because someone else is in love.

05:37 That's it.

05:39 Did you have any regrets when you wrote this song?

05:45 No.

05:47 The story of this song,

05:50 why I wrote it,

05:51 is because I have a close friend.

05:54 He came here and said,

05:55 "Bro, 'Wala Na' is gone."

05:57 "What do you mean, 'Wala Na'?"

05:58 I thought when he lost his girlfriend,

06:00 he broke up with her.

06:04 He cried and cried.

06:06 He said, "Wala Na."

06:08 The next day, I made him a song.

06:12 I remembered everything he said.

06:14 It's based on my past experiences.

06:17 That's why I made "Wala Na."

06:21 Why did you get inspired to write songs

06:26 about heartaches?

06:29 Why is that what you want to do?

06:34 Maybe it's just a coincidence.

06:36 I also have songs about being in love.

06:39 But usually,

06:42 you'll notice that they have songs

06:46 like that.

06:47 We like those songs.

06:50 Maybe it's just a coincidence.

06:51 I can't accept it.

06:52 "Muyakang Puso."

06:54 They always do that.

06:58 What about the Filipinos?

07:01 What about their feelings about

07:04 their heartaches?

07:06 What about the sentimental feelings

07:09 of Filipinos?

07:11 Maybe it's just a coincidence.

07:14 Maybe it's because they always leave me.

07:17 Just kidding.

07:18 I'm just kidding.

07:21 Wow.

07:23 There's really something.

07:24 But I'll ask you this.

07:27 We can't say it's a formula.

07:31 But your dad,

07:34 he got the feeling of Filipinos

07:39 when it comes to sentimental songs.

07:41 They're the ones who get the feeling.

07:43 And your dad's voice is also

07:45 very high,

07:48 beautiful,

07:50 silky.

07:51 So,

07:52 you also brought that feeling.

07:55 How did you do that?

07:57 Well,

07:59 I've been doing this since I was young.

08:01 My dad taught me

08:04 everything about music.

08:06 Starting with playing the guitar,

08:09 holding the microphone,

08:12 writing songs.

08:14 I was only 14 years old.

08:17 I started writing songs.

08:19 I learned how to write when I was 14.

08:22 I just followed the song.

08:25 So,

08:26 maybe it's because of my dad's voice.

08:29 Maybe it's because

08:31 we're almost the same.

08:33 We have the same voice.

08:35 My dad's voice is just higher.

08:37 Unlike my uncles,

08:39 my uncles,

08:41 my dad's friends in my group,

08:43 the April Boys,

08:45 we have the same voice.

08:47 It's just that it's higher.

08:49 My dad's voice is the highest.

08:52 I read something that

08:55 at 14 years old,

08:57 it was said that

08:59 you made a song.

09:01 And when you presented it to your dad,

09:04 he said,

09:05 "Don't do that. It's ugly."

09:07 It's like he didn't like it.

09:08 Why did he react like that?

09:10 Oh, yes.

09:12 I cried a lot.

09:13 Because, of course,

09:15 it's my first time writing,

09:17 so,

09:19 maybe I was still young.

09:21 Maybe that's why he didn't...

09:23 Maybe he was just worried

09:25 because I composed it

09:27 for Bigo.

09:29 And then,

09:31 and then,

09:32 it was in English,

09:33 so we couldn't understand each other.

09:35 So, at that time,

09:40 he didn't like it.

09:42 So, I cried.

09:44 But,

09:45 it was a unique thing.

09:47 I made a second song,

09:49 which was an inspiration.

09:51 He liked it.

09:53 So, it was included in

09:55 our first album,

09:57 with Dadi na Duwet.

09:58 It was until the end of my life.

10:01 And then,

10:02 he liked it.

10:04 "Di na ko iibig pang muli"

10:06 "Di na ko iibig pang muli"

10:11 That was our first

10:13 Duet that Dadi and I

10:15 released.

10:17 So, that's why

10:19 it's memorable for me

10:21 the song I composed.

10:23 How is it growing

10:26 as the son of

10:28 April Boy Rejino?

10:30 Is there always music

10:32 at home?

10:34 Or, does he encourage you

10:36 to pursue music?

10:38 Is it like that?

10:40 No, maybe,

10:42 he just really likes

10:44 music.

10:46 And, of course,

10:48 when Dadi was not a singer yet,

10:50 he was already a singer.

10:52 So, we were influenced

10:54 by my brother.

10:56 So, when he was young,

10:58 he participated in

11:00 Amateur Singing Contest.

11:02 And, after the stage shows,

11:04 he was able to sing

11:06 even in the songs

11:08 he sang.

11:10 So,

11:12 Dadi and I

11:14 banded

11:16 when we were still kids.

11:18 And, when you

11:22 joined

11:24 Local Music,

11:26 as the son

11:28 of April Boy Rejino,

11:30 was there pressure?

11:32 It's like a big shoes to fill, right?

11:34 Because, Dadi,

11:36 we know what he did

11:38 in the music industry.

11:40 Was there

11:42 pressure on you?

11:44 Of course,

11:46 it was a big pressure

11:48 on me.

11:50 Because, of course,

11:52 Dadi already reached

11:54 the peak of his success.

11:56 It was a big pressure on me.

12:00 But,

12:02 what I think is

12:04 I'm really proud of him

12:06 and I'm really happy

12:08 because, of course,

12:10 I was given the chance

12:12 to be part of

12:14 the music industry.

12:16 I really didn't expect

12:18 that

12:20 I would be

12:22 able to join

12:24 the music industry.

12:26 What happened was

12:28 we were in America.

12:30 When we came back to the Philippines,

12:32 we went to

12:34 a recording

12:36 company.

12:38 Then,

12:40 Boss V

12:42 told me,

12:44 "Hey,

12:46 April Boy,

12:48 your son is so handsome."

12:50 [Laughs]

12:52 No, no, he didn't say that.

12:54 He asked, "Does your son know how to sing?"

12:56 He said that.

12:58 He said, "Yes."

13:00 We brought a guitar and we sang

13:02 and my dad liked

13:04 Boss V at that time.

13:06 That's when we were

13:08 already brought together

13:10 in an album.

13:12 That was our career single

13:14 "Di Na Ko Ibig Bang Balik."

13:16 So, Viva was really

13:18 the first one you went to

13:20 before Ivory and GMA?

13:22 Dadi was really

13:24 Ivory.

13:26 The first one he brought to me

13:28 was a different recording company.

13:30 Yes,

13:32 after he brought it to me,

13:34 then

13:36 at the time

13:38 the second one he brought to me

13:40 was a recording company.

13:42 I went to

13:44 America.

13:46 What happened was,

13:48 I said, "I'm done with

13:50 the music industry.

13:52 I'll go to America

13:54 because my job there is good."

13:56 So, what happened was,

13:58 I went home

14:00 to the Philippines.

14:02 Dad said,

14:04 "Come back here."

14:06 That was when Dad was about to leave.

14:08 He told me,

14:10 "I know you'll be happier

14:12 when you

14:14 come back to

14:16 singing because this is

14:18 our passion, music."

14:20 I told Dad at that time,

14:22 "Dad,

14:24 I'm okay.

14:26 I have a job there."

14:28 Then,

14:30 I said, "I'm done

14:32 with music." But he said,

14:34 "No, I know that." Which is true

14:36 that

14:38 it's my passion. After that, we hugged.

14:40 I cried. I said, "Okay, Dad.

14:44 I'll go back to the Philippines."

14:46 I didn't know that

14:48 Dad was about to leave

14:50 at that time. He said,

14:52 "I'll talk to Sir Keddie

14:54 even if I'm done.

14:56 I'm still doing music. I'm still listening to him."

14:58 So, what happened was,

15:00 he said, "I'll talk to Sir Keddie."

15:02 That's when it became true.

15:04 Thank you so much

15:06 to God because

15:08 He gave me a chance

15:10 to use

15:12 GMA Music

15:14 and I was able to come back to singing.

15:16 Now that you're in GMA Music,

15:18 of course, we know

15:22 you're a cluster of artists

15:24 in GMA Music.

15:26 Who do you want to collaborate with?

15:28 In GMA?

15:30 I want to collaborate

15:32 with Julian San Jose.

15:34 Julian San Jose.

15:36 I want to collaborate

15:38 with him.

15:40 But you know,

15:42 it's the time of P-pop, K-pop.

15:44 Do you still see yourself

15:46 trying

15:48 that kind of genre?

15:50 Of course,

15:52 everything is possible.

15:54 I don't close my ears to all kinds of music

15:56 because all kinds of music

15:58 can be pop,

16:00 P-pop, rock,

16:02 love songs,

16:04 rap, hip-hop.

16:06 I'm okay with

16:08 all of them.

16:10 You mentioned that

16:12 you went to Viva

16:14 when you were young.

16:16 How did you

16:18 get into Viva?

16:20 If there's a Viva Max,

16:22 maybe later

16:24 I'll offer you.

16:26 But seriously,

16:28 I'll get my body ready first.

16:30 But seriously,

16:32 JC, did you consider

16:34 joining Showbiz

16:36 as an artist,

16:38 as an actor,

16:40 or to try TV,

16:42 or movies, or acting?

16:44 For me,

16:46 if there's an opportunity,

16:48 of course,

16:50 I'm okay with it.

16:52 But now,

16:54 I'm focusing on music.

16:56 But if

16:58 ever, I'll get my Viva Max.

17:00 [laughs]

17:02 [laughs]

17:04 Yes, no problem.

17:06 Let me go back.

17:08 Your love for music

17:10 is what pulled you away

17:12 from the job you left in the US.

17:14 What was your job in the US at that time?

17:16 At that time,

17:18 I was

17:20 I was in

17:22 Bank of America,

17:24 but my last job

17:26 was in the medical field.

17:28 So,

17:30 you left it

17:32 because your dad

17:34 had a feeling

17:36 that you love music

17:38 more than that.

17:40 Yes, I said

17:42 that's not the end

17:44 of everything.

17:46 We should partner.

17:48 We'll do that.

17:50 We'll do that.

17:52 We'll do that.

17:54 Now,

17:56 we know

17:58 that

18:00 there are many

18:02 people in the technology world

18:04 who have their own YouTube channels,

18:06 aspiring singers, songwriters.

18:08 You've been in the industry

18:10 for more than a decade, right?

18:12 Is that right?

18:14 Yes, one decade.

18:16 One decade, right?

18:18 Yes, but I stopped.

18:20 You stopped.

18:22 But you,

18:24 what is your advice

18:26 to aspiring singers and songwriters

18:28 who are now in the industry

18:30 or are just in the other fields

18:32 that somehow

18:34 some of them look up to you

18:36 as their inspiration?

18:38 What I can say

18:40 is that

18:42 they shouldn't stop dreaming.

18:44 And when they dream,

18:46 it shouldn't just be a dream.

18:48 They should do something.

18:50 Of course,

18:52 they dream but they don't do anything.

18:54 There's no direction.

18:56 So,

18:58 they should just continue

19:00 their dream because

19:02 you never know,

19:04 one day, it will come.

19:06 God's mercy,

19:08 just like me, I thought it was over.

19:10 I was about to get a GMA.

19:12 Thank you so much, GMA Music.

19:14 To Sir KD,

19:16 to Ate Michelle,

19:18 to Boss.

19:20 That's it.

19:22 They should just continue

19:24 their love for whatever their passion is.

19:26 Whatever it is,

19:28 singing, art, dancing,

19:30 or vlogging.

19:32 If they stop,

19:34 they should just continue

19:36 their dream.

19:38 Instead of just dreaming,

19:40 do something about it.

19:42 Yes.

19:44 For example,

19:46 you've achieved something,

19:48 you've achieved your dream,

19:50 you should continue your dream.

19:52 I dream of

19:54 becoming a recording artist.

19:56 After that,

19:58 you should continue your dream.

20:00 You should continue your dream.

20:02 Okay.

20:04 So,

20:06 JC, before we let you go,

20:08 we have another game that we're going to play

20:10 so that you'll get to know

20:12 the Pepsters better.

20:14 Sure, go ahead.

20:16 This game is called Guilty or Not Guilty.

20:18 So, in Guilty or Not Guilty,

20:24 we have situations

20:26 that

20:28 you just have to say if you're guilty

20:30 or not guilty.

20:32 Guilty already.

20:34 You have a chance

20:38 to explain yourself.

20:40 Okay.

20:42 Here's the first situation.

20:44 You lip-synched in a live show.

20:46 Guilty or not guilty?

20:48 Not guilty.

20:52 I'm always on live.

20:54 In a live show,

20:56 whether it's a TV show or a show.

20:58 I'm always on live.

21:00 In a live show.

21:02 Do you prefer to be on live

21:04 and your voice being heard

21:06 so that no one can tell

21:08 if you're lying or not?

21:10 Yes.

21:14 I'm used to being on live.

21:16 Of course, there are many other things.

21:18 I'm used to lip-synching

21:20 and being caught.

21:22 That's how it is.

21:24 Okay, next.

21:26 You dated a fan.

21:28 I dated a fan.

21:32 I think he has one.

21:36 Guilty.

21:38 Guilty.

21:40 You can tell us

21:42 if you're not

21:44 going to compromise.

21:46 Nothing.

21:48 I'm just single.

21:50 No, let's not talk about it.

21:54 I'm guilty.

21:56 I'm guilty.

21:58 Guilty.

22:00 Okay, next.

22:02 You give too many gifts

22:04 to your loved ones.

22:06 Guilty.

22:08 You're too gallant. Guilty.

22:10 When I'm in love...

22:12 Go ahead.

22:14 When you're in love.

22:16 When I'm in love,

22:18 I give everything.

22:20 I'm like giving my baby.

22:22 And I do

22:24 everything he wants.

22:26 I'm like my daddy.

22:28 Because he's under

22:30 my mom.

22:32 That's how it is.

22:34 I told him that the best thing to do

22:36 is to be under.

22:38 Because you're doing what your loved one wants.

22:40 Wow.

22:42 That's a new insight.

22:44 As a composer.

22:46 As a relation.

22:48 Yes.

22:50 What about you?

22:52 You said you love your loved ones.

22:54 What's the most precious thing

22:56 you gave to your loved ones?

22:58 There's nothing in the question, right?

23:00 I'm just kidding.

23:04 We're not forced.

23:06 It's okay.

23:08 Okay, next.

23:10 My communication with my ex.

23:12 Guilty.

23:16 Guilty.

23:18 Guilty.

23:20 Actually,

23:22 we're still friends.

23:24 You're the type of person

23:28 who doesn't burn bridges.

23:30 Not burning bridges after a relationship.

23:32 You're still okay.

23:34 You're still friends.

23:36 Maybe it's just a coincidence.

23:38 But the others,

23:40 it's usually like that.

23:46 If I have a girlfriend,

23:48 I won't fight anymore.

23:50 Limit.

23:52 Limit.

23:54 Okay.

23:56 Just avoid trouble.

23:58 Avoid fights.

24:00 Okay.

24:04 Next.

24:06 Have you ever made a song

24:08 that's busted or divisive?

24:10 Guilty. Guilty.

24:14 What's your song

24:16 that hurt you

24:18 and because of that,

24:20 that's the result?

24:24 You made that song?

24:26 What's your song

24:28 that hurt you so much

24:30 and that's the result?

24:34 That song?

24:36 If I'm hurt,

24:42 I just make songs

24:44 sometimes.

24:46 I forget where I was hurt.

24:48 You're the type of person

24:52 who...

24:54 Maybe one.

24:56 I think I have one.

24:58 "Wala Nang Tahan."

25:00 You're the type of person

25:04 who after a relationship,

25:06 you move on.

25:08 No.

25:10 You cry first

25:12 and then you make a song

25:14 and then

25:16 it's done.

25:18 It's like Taylor Swift.

25:20 I don't know when it passes

25:24 but it just passes.

25:26 I don't remember

25:28 how I moved on.

25:30 So there we have it.

25:34 Pepsters, we already know

25:36 what JC Rejino wants.

25:38 But before we end,
