Celebrity Crushes: Taylor Swift, Kim Chiu, Jessy Mendiola, Melissa Ricks, Kristin Kreuk.

Secret Talent: I can move my ears.

Pet Peeves: Kapag hindi ako pinapansin, na para akong invisible.

Favorite School Subject: Religion. Hindi siya iniisip eh. Isinasapuso siya.

First Day of School Memory: Grade school, medyo payat pa ako noon. High school, medyo mataba ako kaya inaasar nila ako na tabain daw ako. In college, I was the bald kid with the name. I was overwhelmed with everything after PBB. People kept staring at me. Pagpasok ko ng school lahat sila nakatitig at nakangiti.

Qualities you like in a girl: She has to have the looks, the talent, the passion, and the sweet caress. And of course, her being Pinay kaya dapat may X Factor.

Most Embarassing Moment: You can YouTube this and key in The Coconut Ride and you'll see my whole stunt there. Nag-swing ako, having fun. Hindi siya yung parang swing. Isang tali lang siya tapos nakatali sa tree. Biglang umikot ng umikot hanggang sa humampas ako sa trunk. Nahulog ako at kitang-kita sa cam. My dad took it. Tapos, pinakita ko sa class for a project. Nilagay ng mga classmates ko sa online.

Dream Date: On a rooftop. May dinner. May candles. Kung anong mangyayari doon, yun na yon!

Most Memorable PBB Experience: The BigNight. To be frank, nominated ako five consecutive times so, akala ko, pagdating namin sa Araneta, fourth runner-up na lang ako. I don't know. May magic na nangyari siguro kasi lagi akong nase-save. Akala ko first ako, pero second pala ako. Okay lang kasi dahil doon, andito na ko sa MYX.

Nastiest thing you did in school: I got into fistfight when I was in grade school bacause this guy kept teasing me and saying I had three chins. I was that fat back then. Sabi niya: 'Ang taba taba mo! Mukha kang Banaue (Rice Terraces). 'Ayun, hinamon ko siya ng sapakan. Thankfully, di naman ako na expel.

If you were a baon, what will you be and why?: I'll be your juice. I can replenish your thirst.

Contents of your school bag: Folder, pens, calculator, and my notebook.

Sweetest thing you've done for a girl: I've had two instances. First was with this girl whose school bus always passed by for her in Katipunan at 5:30 a.m. everyday. One time, since gusto ko siyang makita, I woke up at 3 a.m. to bake some brownies. Tapos, hinintay ko siya doon (to give her the brownies). The second one was in Ateneo, which had the Bukas Palad Choir. I invited some members of Bukas Palad to go to a girl's house to sing Harana and Seasons of Love.

You are afraid of: I am afraid of enclosed spaces. I am claustrophobic.

If you are not a VJ, you will be...: I think I'll be 'gigger'-ing with the Gigger Boys. Maybe acting and showing off my body through modelling. He he he. I'll still be a doctor. I'll be dancing, singing, and modelling doctor.
