Kapamilya actor shared his experience being one of the speakers for TEDx Miriam College High School back in March. In an Instagram post, the Pinoy Big Brother host recalled how he had apprehensions the night before the event.

TEDx, according to TED’s official website, is the grassroots initiative which was created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission.

Enchong’s 11-minute talk was about the three versions of himself–– his 17-year-old self, his 27-year-old self, and his 33-year-old self. He shared how those three different points in time shaped him as a person today. 

 “At 33, I learned that losing everything can be the best thing that happened to us. I stand here today reflecting on these conversations with my past selves. Each version of me thought he had it all figured out,” he shared in his talk. 

“Each one faced a moment of loss and transformation. I realized, just like the lobster, we had to go through our own personal molting–– we have to shed ourselves. Yes, it’s uncomfortable, yes we become vulnerable, but in every stage, we become better,” he added.

On his Instagram post, the Kapamilya star admitted that he didn’t expect to give a TEDx talk as early as 36 years old.

“It’s something I envisioned my future self will be doing. I just didn’t realize it would come this early in my life because I don’t think I’m qualified or experienced enough to share my story,” he admitted. 

Enchong expressed that because of these doubts, he questioned his decision to take part in it the night before his talk. 

“I had doubts the night before and asked myself why did I say yes to a speaking engagement in a time where my schedule is extremely packed. Fast forward, for a topic of Turning points: Championing New Directions - I’m extremely happy I said Yes,” he said.

Despite the doubts he had, he maintained that he won’t forget his first ever TEDx talk as it was one for the books. 

“I will never forget this day. Thank you Miriam College for trusting me to be one of your speakers. So here it is, I’m proudly sharing my love letter to myself through this talk,” he ended.

Friends and fans congratulated him in the comment section for doing a job well done in his first TEDx talk.
