“Nagstart ako ng Showtime  2010, August 16. Yun yung first day ko bilang hurado, dapat dalawang linggo lang ako  sa Showtime. Sabi sa’kin ng nanay ko at syempre tatay ko, “Anak, magipon ka lage ka magipon kahit maliit,” he shared.

(I started in Showtime 2010, August 16. That is my first day as a judge, it was supposed to be only for two weeks on Showtime. My nanay told me and, of course, my tatay, ‘Son, you save, you save even if it’s only a small amount.)

A little bit embarrassed in sharing this part of his life, Bang continued that he saved P 1,000 per month since then, which served as his savings.
