I remember walking into the audition and meeting AJ for the first time, we talked for a bit (little did I know I was talking to my first and future loveteam) then I was called in to share my \u201ctalent\u201d. I sang Sana by Nikki Gil from the Coke commercial during that time and did a cheerleading routine for my \u201cdance\u201d part &#x1f605; I was just a little girl from Subic Bay fighting for a dream in the big city- I hd no idea during that time that that said dream would eventually come true. ABS-CBN invested and trained me into the actress that I am today and opened the door to so many opportunities. I will forever be grateful to everything that was given to me because of this break and it breaks my heart to see thousands of employees suffer during this time. My heart is with you &#x2764;&#xfe0f; Now, more than ever, its important to use our voices to fight for what is right! No network wars now, just justice. Btw, this was my first ever photoshoot with ABSCBN.
