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
