Starstruck V hopefuls
Hoping to make it to the Starstruck V competition, thousands of Ilonggos flocked to SM City Iloilo when GMA Network held the regional auditions last Sept. 12 and 13, 2009. It was quite entertaining to see teens getting their minutes of fame through dancing, acting and singing. Some of the stories were interesting, as well. Contestant 20063 sports a pair of hearts on his cheeks, which he said, are permanent. He also has tattoos on both arms. “I have experienced sleeping on the overpass and I have bouts of depression as well,” he said. Contestant 20065, a fastfood chain employee, had been joining competitions in several city fiestas and hopes that this time, she’ll be famous. Contestant 20068, TESDA-trained on commercial cooking, hopes to become a chef. But knowing that he is talented, he wants to have that chance to entertain televiewers.
A new breed of celebrities will probably emerge from these hopefuls.
StarStruck V is hosted by Dingdong Dantes, Carla Abellana and Raymond Gutierrez.
