00:00Okay, after that, I remember, because we talked many times, you went to that phase in your life when you sang at hotel lounges.
00:17Yes, yes.
00:18How was that?
00:19I was 17, trying to be 18 that time.
00:23My mom wanted me to be a director in a theater, to try it in a lounge.
00:28Because the exposure in a hotel is better.
00:31So, I was with a jazz band.
00:33I didn't sing jazz in a jazz band.
00:36So, I sang there, and then I auditioned for Broadway songs.
00:41Okay.
00:42Jazz band.
00:43But you were accepted?
00:44I was accepted.
00:45They said I was too young.
00:46What are the songs that you can't not sing when you're in a lounge?
00:52How did you handle audiences?
00:54Because audiences in lounges, sometimes they're drunk, sometimes they're like,
00:58My way, my way, my way.
01:00There are people like that, right?
01:02Actually, there are Japanese, international.
01:04Different nationalities.
01:07Because some of them are rude, I would tell them,
01:10Oh, you don't have the right to do that to me.
01:12I'm a minor.
01:15And then I would ask for a guard.
01:17Because I was a brave kid that time.
01:19I didn't want to sit down.
01:21I really slapped them.
01:23Once in a lounge?
01:24Yes, here.
01:25I sat down.
01:26Okay.
01:27Then I complained to the manager.
01:29I said, I don't want this anymore.
01:31They're still customers, but I am a singer.
01:34I am a citizen.
01:35I am a person.
01:36I have dignity.
01:38They have no right to violate you.
01:39They have the right to touch me.
01:41Okay.
01:42I didn't want to.
01:43I slapped them.
01:44Sorry.
01:45Where did that go?
01:47You've been through a lot, right?
01:50But you've always been competitive.
01:52Very competitive.
01:53Yeah, I know.
01:54I saw that.
01:55And let's go to...
01:57I remember, Star for a Million.
01:59Star in a Million, yeah.
02:00Star in a Million.
02:01Star in a Million.
02:02Star in a Million.
02:03Let's go there.
02:05Walk us through the finals.
02:08The final night.
02:09Okay?
02:10Okay.
02:11Eric Santos was there.
02:12You and many others.
02:14Okay.
02:15As a competitive singer,
02:19and I was alone.
02:20I was alone that time.
02:21I didn't have a family that time.
02:23For that journey, for six months,
02:25I was alone in the hotel.
02:27I was sponsored.
02:28Of course, I left my family.
02:30I left my child.
02:31My child at that time.
02:32You know, I expected to win
02:34because we lost our jobs.
02:36Tito Erwin lost his job.
02:38I also lost my job in the hotel
02:40because it closed.
02:41The lounge that I sang in.
02:43Okay.
02:44So, what I'm thinking now,
02:46how can I buy a diaper?
02:48We both lost our jobs.
02:50So, I said,
02:52this is my only hope.
02:54The money I got,
02:57it's not enough.
02:58It's too far, Tito Boy.
03:00Right?
03:01In winning.
03:02In winning a millionaire,
03:04I was the winner.
03:05But I got 16,000.
03:07Okay.
03:08Alright.
03:09But take me to that very moment.
03:10Did you expect that you will win?
03:12I expected too much.
03:14Too much.
03:15It's so painful.
03:42You
