How has it been so far working for MTV?

A lot of fun! It's an experience of a lifetime.

What's a typical working day like for you?

There's no typical working day. I guess there's a typical working day for MTV, but for me there's not one because every day I do something different. If it's not MTV, then I have another job to do or something else to do.

How much longer do you see yourself doing this?

As long as people like me, yeah, I'll do it for a long time. But if people don't like me, there's no reason for me to continue.

If the opportunity with MTV had not come along, what do you think would you be doing with your time now? Still pursuing, perhaps, your showbiz career here in the Philippines?

Yeah, 'cause I came into MTV with... I had nothing to lose. I was establishing myself already as somebody here, and MTV just helped me -- a lot, actually! Now, my name is associated with MTV... forever! Yeah, I would probable be a full-time actor (chuckles), host, something....

Does your lack of fluency in Filipino make your work difficult for you, especially when interviewing local artists?

Actually, I can do it now. It's just sometimes my grammar is wrong. It's not proper, but I have no problems anymore talking to the local artists because, basically, a lot of them speak English and if not, my [Filipino] is good enough for me to get by.

I mean, I understand everything they say, but I have to choose exactly how I want to ask a question because sometimes there are things I want to ask that I'm not quite sure of, so.... But it doesn't really slow me down.

So was it this love for music that made you decide to join the MTV hunt?

Yeah, I thought it would be a really cool job -- you just talk about music and get to do these things, meet these people. So, yeah, it was all of those sweet little incentives that made me join the search.

Did you always have a keen interest in music?

Yeah, I have always loved music, but I never ever thought that I would have actually decided to work for a music channel.

Do you sing or play any instrument maybe?

Actually, right now, I'm working on my album.

With which record label?

Well, I'm doing it all by myself first and composing most of the beats. I have a little studio at my house, where I'm slowly trying to get my music done, but it's difficult sometimes because I don't have much time and I'm trying to do everything by myself.

I'm not asking for any help, and I've come to that point where I think I have to ask for some help from my friends in the business because I'm not really...like I don't know how to play the keyboards. I have a really good ear, though, and that's what matters.
