When asked, &ldquo;Looking back sa journey mo, from competitions to collaborations, ang dami mo nang napagdaanan. Is there a decision or opportunity na feeling mo, kung iba yung naging choice mo, baka iba na &lsquo;yung landas mo ngayon?&rdquo;
Bugoy shared, &ldquo;Pipiliin ko pa rin kung nasa&rsquo;an ako ngayon. I just love to sing.&rdquo; He said he feels most at ease when performing and believes it&rsquo;s where he truly excels. He also mentioned that if he wasn&rsquo;t a singer, he might have worked abroad to support his family. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m so blessed and grateful na binigay ni God sa&rsquo;kin &lsquo;to!&rdquo; he added, saying he believes he was given a greater purpose in his current path.
In another question, &ldquo;Pitong taon ang lumipas bago ka ulit naglabas ng album&hellip; Bilang isang veteran, naramdaman mo ba na napag-iwanan ka na?&rdquo;
He admitted, &ldquo;Normal naman siguro na ma-feel &lsquo;yung gano&rsquo;n.&rdquo; Still, he shared that those seven years gave him valuable experience to create better music. His goal now is to combine his old soul style with a newer sound.
When asked about being called underrated, &ldquo;May fans na nagsasabi na you&rsquo;re one of the most underrated vocalists in your generation&hellip;&rdquo;
Bugoy responded, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a good thing to be underrated.&rdquo; For him, it means people still see his potential. He emphasized that numbers don&rsquo;t matter as much as giving his best and that simply being recognized and appreciated by listeners is already a blessing.
This man truly deserves more. On and off cam, he is fun and kind. Let&rsquo;s all stream his album 'Anthems,' Fam!
