Nine-year-old child star Clarence Delgado has not yet decided on what he wants to be in the future, but he is determined to finish school and pursue other fields other than acting.

“I may leave showbiz. After I finish my studies, I can be a basketball player or a scientist,” he shares in “Tapatan Ni Tunying” airing this Thursday (Apr 3).

Aside from being a mainstay in ABS-CBN’s longest-running kiddie gag show “Goin’ Bulilit,” Clarence also takes on some dramatic roles. How does he prepare whenever he has to shift from comedy to drama?

“I think of sad things, such as not having food,” he quips. “I pretend that my parents left me.”

Meanwhile, another “Goin’ Bulilit” star, Chacha Cañete has made a name for herself as a singer. She took home two medals from the 17th World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Hollywood, California in July 2013.

Though Chacha has come a long way since starring in her first TV commercial when she was just four years old, she still knows the value of education.

“I want to be a doctor someday so I can help other people,” the nine-year-old actress says.

Watch Clarence and Chacha as they share more about their beginnings, dreams, and plans for their acting careers and education with Anthony Taberna in the episode.
