It can be recalled that in early 2018, Steve resigned from the network as a broadcast journalist to become a pilot.

Around October of the same year, the former news anchor flew his first solo flight and even shared the momentous event on a Facebook post.

Steve recalls that being a pilot was not his childhood dream, but something he must pursue as a destiny.

He states, “Sa totoo lang, suntok sa buwan ang pangaraping makapagpalipad ng eroplano.

"It has never been my childhood dream. How can you dream of something that is way beyond your reach? I'm just being realistic."

But as time passes, he knew that it's something he must pursue even if it meant having to leave his “first love” which is broadcast journalism and also have to work through his way of paying a hefty tuition fee.

Eventually, he took a leap of faith and even learned something new along the process.

He says, "Mahirap man siyang pangarapin noon, hindi naman nangangahulugang hindi mo na siya puwedeng pagsikapang maabot ngayon.”
