For 16-year-old Princess Guevarra, joining ‘StarStruck’ means more than getting closer to her artista dreams. It is also an opportunity to show the viewers and her fellow contestants how God works through her.
“Sumali po ako ng 'StarStruck' kasi alam ko pong may purpose si God sa ‘kin dito. May role akong gagampanan hindi lang sa pagiging artista kundi sa pagiging [isang] individual,” she said.
One of the ways she wants to make an impact is by showing her optimism no matter how difficult the trials may be.
“Tuwing nababanggit po 'yung name ko, [gusto ko na] lagi nila naiisip [na] yan 'yung laging nakangiti kahit elimination. 'Yung pala-smile… [Gusto ko pa makita nila na] positive lang po talaga ako. Kasi kahit naman po anong mangyari, si God naman po talaga 'yung may gusto nun eh. Kaya wala po akong say dun,” she added.
The Caviteña takes pride in how her parents were guided with Christian values in bringing her and her siblings up. This continues to help her become more courageous in going through life’s challenges, and through her ongoing journey in the reality-based artista search.
“Bata pa lang po ako, talagang 'yung mga pangaral ni Papa and Mama, hindi nagkulang pagdating sa relihiyon… Si God talaga 'yung driving force ko at nagpapalakas sa ‘kin, tumutulong sa ‘kin sa mga trials and activities dito sa 'StarStruck',” she shared.
