Ano nga ba ang nagtulak kay Hannah Precillas para sumali sa 'Dangdut Academy Asia 5?'

Kapuso singer Hannah Precillas revealed that her mother, who needs a kidney transplant, pushed her into joining Dangdut Academy Asia 5.

"At first nagdalawang isip ako kung ipu-push ko ba. So I had to ask my mom, 'Mama, ano ba? Pupunta ba ako ng Indonesia, okay lang ba sa 'yo?

"And she said, 'Yes, why not try? Kasi kumbaga ibang stage naman 'yan. Ibang career.'

"Sabi niya, 'Subukan mo lang.' She gave me hope na 'kayang-kaya mo 'yan talunin, kaya mo sila, magaling ka.'

"So, pinush ko na 'yung sarili ko na 'Oo nga naman.' Kasi my number 1 goal is to help my mom for her kidney transplant.

"So sabi ko na, 'Oo nga. Bakit nga naman hindi ko subukan? Kung manalo, kahit naman hindi first, hindi second, basta 'yung third okay na sa akin.

"Ayun, I just kept on praying noong nag-start 'yung competition na sana hindi ako magkamali, hindi ako mapahiya."
