, I was really concerned with how conservative audiences in the Philippine were going to take it, because my career up at that point was just very wholesome.
Musical theater is quite an unpredictable, sometimes think-on-your-feet type of art form. I’ve learned how to raise a child who is their own being.
But the one thing I’ve learned is that you have to raise your child the way your child needs to be raised.
