"Biglang ayoko nang mag-Starstruck kasi... pakiramdam ko, siguro baka sa isip ko lang din, na parang ako lang ang nag-iisip nun, pero feeling ko talaga noong time na yun, napagtulungan ako," Iwa bared. "So noong time na yun, nagqu-quit na ako. Ginising ko ang mga direktor."
Disregarding her spot in the Top 6, she confronted the production crew in the middle of the night about this.
"'Direk, hindi na ako mag-ano, magqu-quit na ako, ayoko nang mag-artista... Sabi ko, mag-aaral na lang ako. Tapos hindi na ako mag-artista dahil kung ganito ang pagiging artista, ayoko na lang," she recounted.
Unbeknownst to her at the moment, the production team made sure to capture every second of her venting.
"Syempre, kinunan nila yun. Naka-video'yun," Iwa said with a smile. "Umiiyak ako nun. Naglalabas ako ng sama ng loob... Ayun, nagalit ako, tumatalak ang bruha."
Concluding her hilarious story, Iwa laughingly admitted how her emotional rant ultimately impacted her final ranking in the competition.
"Ang ending, natalo tuloy ako kasi nagmura ako on national TV," Iwa confessed lightheartedly, leaving host Melai in stitches.
