MANILA — Marko Rudio, the Tawag ng Tanghalan T 2025 champion, admitted he felt twice the pressure upon learning that the Kings of P-pop, SB19, would be among the audience to watch his medley of their hits during the competition finals on Saturday.

In addition to their special performance, SB19 members Stell and Pablo also served as guest judges.

“Noong nakita ko pa lang name ni Stell, tinanong ko na staff. Noong sinabi nila SB19, grabe, dumoble pressure. Hindi kasi ako marunong sumayaw pero sinubukan ko,” he explained in an interview held after the competition.

“Hangang sa rehersal sinusubukan ko pero nahihiya sistema ko hangang nasa stage na, andoon na adrenaline ko. Kinapalan ko na,” he added.

According to Rudio, an SB19 medley felt like the perfect choice for the cutthroat grand championships.

“Since Grand Resbak siya, lahat ng malulupet. Saltang salta siya. Kailangan mag isip ng mas malakas,” he said. “Nang narinig ko SB19, naisip ko bagay sa akin. May rock part, may galit na part, may malambing na part.” 

Rudio first competed in TNT Season 6 and never imagined he would return to the TNT stage after the loss.

“Wala ako plano. Masakit e. Pero dumating na lang bigla [opportunity] Nakita ko pintuan nagbukas, inapakan ko na. Ngayon di na ako tatawaging grand finalist, grand champion na,” he enthused.
