“Isa siya sa unang nag-react. Sinabi ko na na-meet ko ‘yung mga taga-The Singer, and she was so supportive of me. Sabi niya, ‘’Wag kang kakabahan. Alam mong marami kang pagdadaanan diyan.’ She was already giving me ‘yung mga Mandarin songs na parang bagay sa ‘kin, [na] dapat aralin ko na if ever. Until now, she’s just very supportive and excited for me as well,” he stated.

As of writing, competition results have not yet been announced.
