Bernadette Sembrano steps out of the newsroom as she warms up her vocal cords and joins Darren Espanto in rehearsal for his upcoming 10th-anniversary concert in “Tao Po” on Sunday (May 5).
Darren, also known as Asia’s Pop Heartthrob, looked back on his career journey from his early days on “The Voice Kids” to his venture into acting. He joyfully discussed achieving his dream of performing on “ASAP Natin ‘To” and his lifelong desire to hold a concert with a specific Filipino artist he admires. On top of that, he fearlessly didn’t shy away from addressing recent controversies about his love life.
Meanwhile, reporter Zyann Ambrosio unmasked the person behind the painted face of mime artist and living statue Rodel Bartido, famously dubbed as “Pinturados.” Rodel shared his journey of finding his passion while working as a tour guide and the challenges of becoming a street performer. Together with Zyann, Pinturados showcased his skills at the Quezon Memorial Circle during the ABS-CBN Grand Kapamilya Summer Fair last April 27.
