Fonzi revealed that he owes a lot to Kris Aquino.

In the latest episode of the video podcast "Your Honor," the content creator said he used to work for the Queen of All Media and it's one of the "ultimate plot twists" of his life.

Fonzi recalled a time when he did not have any money and a job. He applied to work as a barista in Singapore but the person helping him ghosted him.

"Ang lungkot lang kasi ito 'yung inaasahan ko at alam na ng mga kaibigan ko magtatrabaho ako sa Singapore," Fonzi said.

"Tapos bored ako nun, ginawan ko ng meme si Madam Kris. Tapos nag-viral sa Facebook, nakita niya, tas minessage niya 'ko, in-offer-an niya 'ko ng trabaho," he said.

Kris also commented, "If ever you needed a job..."

Fonzi called it a plot twist because he is a probinsyano who loves artists, "tas 'yung mag-ko-comment sa 'yo 'yung pinaka mataas na artista sa buong Pilipinas."

Fonzi started as a production assistant then climbed the ladder to junior producer for Kris' vlogs. He worked there for three years.

"Best job apart from being a content creator and artista," he said.

"Nung umalis na 'ko kay madam, dun ko na-realize, grabe pala sa production namin, ang suwerte-suwerte namin," Fonzi added.

Fonzi said his favorite memory was being interviewed by Kris on camera.

"Pagpasok na pagpasok ko, sabi niya, 'Ang kapal talaga ng foundation mo,'" Fonzi said.

"Nakakatawa kasi hindi ako na-offend! Parang feeling ko 'yun 'yung endearment niya," he added.

Kris then got her makeup artist to teach Fonzi about his right shade and gave him money to buy makeup.

Fonzi currently appears in GMA Afternoon Prime series "Apoy sa Dugo" starring Derrick Monasterio, Ashley Ortega, and Elle Villanueva. It airs weekdays 4:05 p.m. after "House of Lies." —Nika Roque/MGP, GMA News
