00:00How much of that young girl is still there?

00:08She's still there. She's still there.

00:12The Pasig girl.

00:13Yes, she grew up in Pasig.

00:15She's still there.

00:17That's why I can't imagine that I'll leave the Philippines and move to another country.

00:24Is there a chance that when you become very busy, for example, in London or in Broadway,

00:29that you might forget about the Philippines?

00:33Does it occur to you?

00:35You know, Tito Boy, before I moved to London, before I accepted the message,

00:40someone told me, don't leave the Philippines because you'll forget about the people.

00:44But that time, Tito Boy, what I wanted to happen, I wanted to challenge myself.

00:50Because I'm here in the Philippines, I feel like there's something missing.

00:54I don't know, I feel like I'm doing the same thing.

00:59Tito Boy, I was singing the same songs, doing the shows, concerts,

01:03but I feel like I want to experience something different.

01:08And God gave that to me.

01:10How's life in London?

01:12Is it as competitive or even more competitive than here?

01:15How do you find jobs?

01:17Do you have an agent?

01:18Are you represented by a manager?

01:20How is life? How is your career there?

01:23The first few years, Tito Boy, it was very hard.

01:27I moved out there without an agent, without any manager.

01:32Because of Miss Saigon.

01:34When I got there, I had to be ready, Tito Boy.

01:37I didn't have any training or whatsoever with, like, theater.

01:40All of them, Tito Boy, trained.

01:42They did a lot of shows before they did Miss Saigon.

01:44Me, first time.

01:45And your role was Gigi, one of the major roles of Miss Saigon.

01:49Yes, it was hard, Tito Boy.

01:50Which was originally played by Isabel, by Isa Alvarez.

01:53Yes.

01:54And I was also homesick there.

01:57I had no friends, no church.

02:00It was hard there.

02:01It was very hard, Tito Boy.

02:02But now, you're represented by a manager, you have an agent.

02:06Yes, I have an agent.

02:09Miss Leia and I were both in the same agent.

02:12Direct Bobby Garcia introduced him to us.

02:16So, I'm now, I'm very blessed because I got to know them.

02:21I said that when Bobby's name is mentioned, you know, he's the common person among all of us.

02:27But, yeah, I'm not yet done grieving because of our loss.

02:31Sorry, yes, yes.

02:32But let's go back to Miss Saigon.

02:34When you got there, of course, that song is there.

02:38You started during contests.

02:39I remember this interview, you were humming at six months old.

02:44Yes.

02:45I remember that.

02:46Yes.

02:47So, when you were young, you were already singing.

02:48Because, is it true that both your parents were, are entertainers?

02:52My dad, he just loves musical instruments.

02:55And my mom used to be a singer before, Tito Boy.

02:57Right, right?

02:58So, we really grew up.

02:59Right.

03:00You were nine years old when you won your first singing contest.

03:03Those were parties, Tito Boy.

03:04Parties, parties.

03:05What did you always sing?

03:07Oh, those were Mr. Gene Velasquez songs.

03:10Yes, right?

03:11And those were all Mr. Gene Velasquez.

03:14Those were your contest pieces?

03:15Yes, those were my contest pieces.

03:16Yes, those were my contest pieces.

03:19No, and also, because now you make this country proud.

03:23You did Fantin in Les Mis, and you did Eliza in Hamilton, Gigi in Miss Saigon,

03:30and the world is about to happen after this.

03:34But, just to inspire the kids who are still competing,

03:39I love that story of, for example, contests,

03:42and they say, the winner is the one who has the worst voice.

03:44The winner is the one who has the worst voice.

03:46What is your piece of advice, Rachelle, to the kids?

03:51I used that, Tito Boy.

03:53I grew up, actually, insecure because of what I heard.

03:57But, it's hard.

04:00I went through a lot.

04:01But, I used Tito Boy to be better,

04:04and no matter what people say,

04:06I can still win.

04:08Because I won when I said something negative.

04:11So, that's what I hold on to, Tito Boy,

04:14no matter what people say,

04:16I just need to focus on what I can do,

04:18on the gift that God has given me.

04:21Just focus on that, and you don't need to listen to other people.

04:25And you have to keep on talking to yourself.

04:27That's an opinion.

04:28Because if you repeat it,

04:30it will be magnified.

04:32Which happened to me, Tito Boy.

04:35It happened to all of us.

04:36Who didn't say, you're ugly?

04:38Who didn't say, you're not going to make it?

04:40And it was magnified.

04:41I magnified all the negative words that were said to me, Tito Boy.

04:46And, until now,

04:49when did I say,

04:51I just need to accept who I am,

04:54all the flaws.

04:55Right.

04:56And now, I'm happy I have kids.

04:57That's the answer to the package.

04:58Yeah.
