“Papasok na ako ng Showtime ‘tapos kinuha ako nung producer. Ang sabi niya, kung pwede daw mag-meeting muna.

“Umakyat kami sa taas. I was like, ‘Uy, ba’t aakyat sa taas? Bihira kami dito sa taas.’’ And then I had a feeling that something was going on and then sabi niya, ‘Pasenya na, Eric, na nagkaroon kami ng reformat and hindi na kailangan ‘yung full services mo dito.’ I took it on the chin and I said, ‘Thank you. Kasi, kilala na ako dahil sa inyo.’
