In his recent guesting on Mars Pa More, the Kapuso star talked freely about his current situation during the Mars Sharing Group.

“Yung sa akin naman, money matters. Example ko na lang yung sitwasyon ko ngayon kasi nag-stop ako ng pag-aaral, kasi kulang din financially para sa pag-aaral,” he said.

Karl also shared how he braved entering the showbiz industry and then reflected on the opportunities he now has with GMA.

“Nag-risk ako, pumunta ako sa ganitong industry na 'di ko alam kung sure ba na may kapupuntahan ako or hindi.

“Ayun, luckily, napasama ako sa Final 14 ng StarStruck and then nabigyan din ng projects sa All Out Sundays kaya sobrang thankful ako.”

Mars Pa More host Camille Prats was moved by his life story and wished for Karl, “sana makapag-aral ka ulit.”

“Yes po,” he agreed, “balak ko pagka nakapag-ipon, mag-aaral po ako ulit.”
