He said: “Kasi ngayon po kasi ang pinaka-responsibilidad ko po, ako naman po 'yung journey host nito.

“So kalimitan po ang makakasama ko po ay 'yung mga magulang, 'yung mga guardians nila, pero nakakausap ko rin 'yung mga bata at sinasabi ko nga sa kanila na kung hindi man sila palarin ngayon, dire-diretso lang, 'wag bumitaw sa pangarap. Hindi ibig sabihin na hindi ka pinalad ngayon e, tapos na.

“Dahil bata pa sila, mas lalo nilang pag-ibayuhin yung kanilang craft, 'yung talent nila, dahil hindi natin masasabi sa mga susunod na mga contest na maaaring salihan.

“Dire-diretso lang, wag bumitaw sa pangarap and always pray,” he added.

Hosted by Multimedia's star Alden Richards, Centerstage will gather young aspiring performers aged 7-12 from different parts of the Philippines to compete against each other through songs and by outracing opponents in a series of vocal performances until only one remains.

The search will be led by equally outstanding personalities in the entertainment industry here and abroad: Kapuso Diva and international singer-artist Aicelle Santos, renowned musical director Mel Villena, and Concert Queen Ms. Pops Fernandez.

Beginning February 16, Kapuso viewers are in for a unique watching experience as extremely talented kids sing and move forward in achieving their dreams in GMA Network's newest musical competition Centerstage.

Under the helm of Director Louie Ignacio, Centerstage begins on February 16, every Sunday at 7:40 p.m., on GMA.
