Kapuso actor Mark Herras took a trip down memory lane and shared the highlight of his journey in the first season of StarStruck back in 2004. He was named the Ultimate Male Survivor while actress and singer Jennylyn Mercado won as the Ultimate Female Survivor.

He shared a clip that shows a 16-year-old Mark and Jennylyn along with first runners-up Rainier Castillo and Yasmien Kurdi onstage.

Mark wrote in his post's caption, "Pinaka masarap at memorable na experience ko to sa buong showbiz career ko. Dito ako nagsimula at sobrang thankful, grateful at super blessed dahil dito. Maraming Maraming salamat @gmanetwork! #StarstrucksFirstUltimateSurvivor #BadBoyngDanceFloor"
