Transcript

00:00Let's talk to the incredible breadwinner singer!

00:04Come here, Al Quinn!

00:06Al Quinn!

00:08Bonguit!

00:10Hi, Al Quinn!

00:12Where are you from again?

00:14I'm from Dasmariñas, Cavite.

00:16Where do you sing?

00:18I sing in singing contests.

00:20You're not a professional singer, right?

00:22Do you have gigs?

00:24Yes.

00:26If there's no contest, I have a gig.

00:29Where do you have gigs?

00:31Right now, I have a gig in a coffee shop.

00:33It's near us.

00:35In Cavite.

00:37In Imos, Cavite.

00:39Coffee shop? So, it's not at night?

00:41It's still at night.

00:43Until 1am.

00:45And you still attend singing contests?

00:47Yes.

00:49The next day.

00:51Right now, I'm a bit busy.

00:53Because this December,

00:55there are still a lot of parties.

00:57That's why I still sing at night.

00:59But that's how I do my vocalization.

01:01That's true.

01:03You're very nervous.

01:05To relax my lips.

01:11How many contests do you attend in a week?

01:13About five.

01:15But sometimes,

01:17I continue singing until one week.

01:19If there's still more.

01:21As long as I can lower my voice.

01:23Your gig is only once a week?

01:26I prioritize my gigs.

01:28Because there are a lot of songs.

01:30So, it's tiring.

01:32And it's late.

01:34Unlike contests,

01:36if you're lucky,

01:38one or two songs,

01:40the biggest one is 5K.

01:42So, if you don't prioritize,

01:44you can't attend your regular gigs?

01:46Yes.

01:48I talk to people

01:50if I don't have a gig.

01:52Because I have an event.

01:54I'm a reliever.

01:56It's like

02:00an informal profession.

02:02It's like the baddies

02:04and trans people who join a pageant.

02:06It's not really a profession.

02:08But they made it a profession

02:10because they're looking for Ms. K.

02:12Because

02:14almost every night,

02:16it's the same.

02:18All the parties,

02:20it became their profession.

02:23It's still a contest.

02:25It's the biggest bread and butter.

02:27It's really hard.

02:29Every party is different.

02:31From the closest to your house

02:33to the farthest place.

02:35Sometimes,

02:37in one party,

02:39there are 3 pageants,

02:41you'll join all of them.

02:43It's true.

02:45It happened to us when we were kids.

02:47All the parties,

02:49we'll join all of them.

02:51It's the same for dancers,

02:53singers, right?

02:55Yes.

02:57How much did you win?

02:59The biggest one was 30K.

03:01One night.

03:03But you also have lot days.

03:05Yes. Sometimes,

03:07one month.

03:09It's all consolation.

03:11That's why I force myself to have a gig.

03:13Because in a gig, it's sure money.

03:15In a contest,

03:17it's like gambling.

03:20What place did you win tonight?

03:22But in that gambling,

03:24you won more.

03:26This year, yes.

03:28That's why I achieved a lot this year.

03:30Can we hear

03:32what you won the most?

03:34A piece.

03:36Actually, my song is not

03:38heart-pounding.

03:40It's heart-pounding.

03:42But I didn't even...

03:44What's your favorite song?

03:46Just as an example.

03:49Yes.

03:51What's your favorite song?

03:53It's not difficult even if it's not heart-pounding.

03:57The most heart-pounding.

03:59The one you don't need to force yourself.

04:01The one he sang earlier

04:03while he was still alive.

04:05It's okay.

04:07Okay.

04:09I wanted

04:11to live

04:13for a long time

04:15for a long time

04:17if this

04:19time

04:21will pass

04:23that

04:25I'll be with you

04:27while

04:29I'm alive

04:33I'll give

04:35my life

04:37to you

04:39I'll give

04:41my life

04:47My prayer

04:49My prayer

04:51is that

04:53you'll be with me

04:55whenever

04:57the fire

04:59in my heart

05:01doesn't die

05:03while

05:05I'm alive

05:07while

05:09I'm alive

05:11as long as

05:13my blood

05:16doesn't die

05:18I'll give

05:20my life

05:22to you

05:26I'll give

05:28my life

05:30to you

05:32I'll give

05:34my life

05:36to you

05:40We have so many breadwinners

05:42while they're still alive.

05:44They serve and take care

05:46of their whole family.

05:48How many

05:50do you count?

05:52How many people

05:54do you live with now?

05:586 or 7.

06:0013.

06:026 or 7.

06:046 or 7 because sometimes

06:06one of them passed away

06:08and another one came back.

06:106 or 7.

06:136 or 7.

06:15How many years did you start to be a breadwinner?

06:17In 2020.

06:19But

06:21it was the most difficult

06:23from 2021 to now.

06:25Why did that responsibility

06:27go to you?

06:29What happened to your parents?

06:31At first,

06:33I was okay with working.

06:35I'll give to my family.

06:37But I saw that

06:39even if I give, it's still not enough

06:41because they can't afford it all.

06:43My dad can't afford

06:45to pay for everything.

06:47My mom can't afford it all.

06:49So I was forced to give everything

06:51so that we can be okay.

06:55What is your dad's job?

06:57My dad is a barber.

06:59How much does he earn?

07:01Before,

07:03when he was young,

07:05he earned around 500 to 1000.

07:07But now,

07:10he's old.

07:12His arm hurts.

07:14So he doesn't cut much.

07:16The biggest is 300.

07:18But sometimes,

07:20150.

07:22A day.

07:24I don't count

07:26what my dad does.

07:28If he has something,

07:30it's okay.

07:32But if he doesn't,

07:34I don't force him.

07:36In my mindset,

07:38I don't force him.

07:40Are you the eldest?

07:42Yes.

07:44How many siblings do you have?

07:46We are six.

07:48So the five of you

07:50are the ones who are in charge of school?

07:52Yes.

07:54But our youngest,

07:56sometimes,

07:58because he's in a different family,

08:00he's burdened

08:02by his eldest son.

08:04Because he's the rock bottom of my family,

08:07Where's your mom now?

08:09She's not working anymore?

08:11My mom is in rehabilitation.

08:13But she'll be out

08:15in April.

08:17April 8th.

08:19It's been 8 months.

08:21But we haven't visited her yet.

08:23Because she can't?

08:25Yes. She said it's part of healing.

08:27So even in December,

08:29we asked her if it's okay

08:31even this Christmas,

08:33she said it's not okay.

08:36Since you mentioned

08:38that your mom was rehabilitated,

08:40were you the one who rehabilitated her?

08:42Yes.

08:44Because in 2024,

08:46I got a new piece.

08:48It's called Laklak.

08:50I became more mature, especially here in Manila.

08:52So I won more often.

08:54So I saved up

08:56money

08:58to save it

09:00for my wins.

09:02But I paid the bills.

09:04Because it's expensive to pay the bills.

09:06No. I really saved up money

09:08to buy a car

09:10for amateurs.

09:12Just second-hand cars.

09:14So you saved up money for your car

09:16to use in contests.

09:18But you used the money to pay the bills.

09:20That's what I thought.

09:22Because I said,

09:24I can still earn money,

09:26but if I can cure my mom,

09:28it'll be a different fulfillment

09:30if she gets better.

09:34Because as an amateur,

09:36I can still earn money.

09:38But as time goes by,

09:40my mom might not be able

09:42to take it anymore.

09:44So even if it's hard

09:46to bring all my money to her,

09:48it's okay for me

09:50because she's my mom.

09:52I just thought of it

09:54as a way to cure her.

09:58Your siblings are studying well.

10:00Yes, they're studying well.

10:03Very good. That's their gift to you.

10:05It feels good.

10:07Yes.

10:09Your money doesn't go to waste.

10:11Yes. My second sibling

10:13is graduating from Senior High.

10:15The third one is graduating

10:17from Junior High.

10:19The other two are in Grade 6.

10:21Wow!

10:23You have a lot of achievements.

10:25You're so proud.

10:27That's just because of my voice.

10:29That's why she said

10:31it was all worth it.

10:33It was all worth it.

10:35Her hard work

10:37didn't go to waste.

10:39That's why she doesn't get tired.

10:41Yes.

10:43How can you not get tired?

10:45You're physically tired.

10:47Your heart is beating faster

10:49when you see

10:51what happened to you.

10:53What happened to you?

10:55What did you do

10:57to me?

11:00That's what hurts them more.

11:02Right?

11:04That's why when your heart is broken

11:06and your mind is in a mess,

11:08your physical condition weakens.

11:10That's why you get tired

11:12and you can't continue your work.

11:14It's different when you just continue

11:16what you're doing.

11:18You won't feel tired

11:20because you know where you're going

11:22and you can see

11:24that you're in a good position.

11:26There are a lot of breadwinners

11:28but when you see

11:30that they're supporting you,

11:32it's all worth it.

11:34It's all worth it.

11:36That's what faith is all about.

11:38You can't see it.

11:40You can't see

11:42what you're holding.

11:44That's why it's important

11:46for the breadwinners to see

11:48the result of their hard work.

11:50If not,

11:52they're really pitiful.

11:54That's why it's good to watch

11:57how happy they are with their life.

11:59And when they're enumerating

12:01their successes,

12:03it makes me happy.

12:05Very strong person.

12:07So young but so strong.

12:09People don't take it for granted.

12:11They don't take you for granted.

12:13I hope they don't take you for granted.

12:15It's not about

12:17what you should be accepting.

12:19Being taken for granted

12:21is not about that.

12:23You should be seen and valued.

12:26It's the product of your hard work.

12:28That's why

12:30we're all rooting for you

12:32and your family.

12:34I hope your mom gets better

12:36and she continues

12:38to work for herself

12:40and for her family.

12:42I hope your siblings

12:44finish their studies

12:46so that one day

12:48they can take care of themselves

12:50and give back to their families

12:52and their families.

12:54I hope you don't catch a cold

12:56or get sick

12:58or get infected.

13:00Actually, this month...

13:02Are you sick?

13:04No, I'm not.

13:06I was planning to rest

13:08this December

13:10because I have a throat problem.

13:12But because

13:14a lot of us are paying for it

13:16and it's Christmas,

13:18my siblings need a Christmas party,

13:20I said,

13:23even though I'm already tired.

13:25Someone asked me

13:27to drink

13:29steroids.

13:31Who told you to drink that?

13:33My friend, a singer.

13:35Don't listen to

13:37prescriptions from friends

13:39that are not true.

13:41I stopped drinking

13:43because I was affected.

13:45I can sing

13:47but the next day,

13:49I felt so weak.

13:51I'll lend you this.

13:53I'll give you scarves.

13:55Maybe later,

13:57your medicine won't suit you.

13:59And you can't abuse

14:01using steroids.

14:03You should have a prescription.

14:05Maybe you'll have abs in your neck.

14:07Maybe we'll be stuck for 3 days.

14:09You know,

14:11as a singer, you need EMT.

14:13They're the specialists

14:15for the throat.

14:17I'll send you to my sister's clinic

14:20Wow!

14:22So she can tell you.

14:24Even professional singers,

14:26sometimes they use the wrong medicine.

14:28They're more at risk.

14:30That's why you need a prescription.

14:32Okay, I'll send you

14:34to my sister's clinic.

14:36Aside from that,

14:38as a recognition of your success,
