GIVE ME FIVE songs that you love to sing onstage.

"Siyempre ang Help Me Get Over. Tapos ang Laserlight ni Jessie J. 'Yung mga kinanta ko rin with Ms. Regine Velasquez, favorite ko. Also 'yung Adele medley. At ang Lead The Way ni Mariah Carey na kinanta ko sa Metro Bar."

GIVE ME FIVE of your celebrity crushes.

"Dennis Trillo, Robi Domingo. Sa international naman po, si Channing Tatum. Si Kuya Tom [Rodriguez]! Sige sama ko na rin, Aljur at Alden!"

GIVE ME FIVE tips for aspiring singers.

"Number one, never stop trying. Kung passion talaga nila ang pagkanta, huwag silang magpapa-distract kapag may mga obstacles na pinagdadaanan. Ituloy pa rin nila ang pagkanta nila. Number two, constant practice, kasi through constant practice nila made-develop 'yung singing nila. Pangatlo, kailangan talaga magkaroon ng voice teacher para matulungan sila kung tama ba 'yung techniques na ginagawa nila. Kasi po minsan akala natin tama 'yung ginagawa natin pero mali pala. So in the long run, mada-damage 'yung vocal chords natin. Pang-apat naman, always pray kapag may performance, kasi minsan kahit anong galing natin, hindi natin i-expect na laging perfect. Minsan may mga sabit moments din, so just pray. Panglima, share your blessings. I-share mo rin 'yung talent na binigay sa'yo ng Diyos."

GIVE ME FIVE of your favorite travel destinations.

"Nakapag-perform na rin po ako sa US, so isa talaga 'yun sa mga kino-consider ko as one of the best places for travel destinations. Tapos Hong Kong for shopping. Sa Turkey naman para sa mga historical places, kasi nung napunta po ako doon to perform siyempre hindi ko pinalagpas na makakapasyal din. Sa Japan din po, and Indonesia."
