Rocco Nacino: I'm not arrogant

TONIGHT IS the moment of truth for the 5 Starstruck finalists. Rocco Nacino says he's aware that people say he's arrogant and over-confident. "But it's not true," he says. "I always do my best but, let's face it, Steven Silva has the most text votes and Enzo also has a huge fan base, so anything can happen. I think they misunderstand my being frank about my views like when I told Rox Montealegre I don't like her, but I don't want to be plastic kaya naging totoo lang ako with what I feel. Pero ang dating, maangas daw ako. Baguhan lang ako sa showbiz, but I'm learning dahil ayokong masabihing mayabang ako."

About Enzo, the allegation is that he comes from a rich family so they have much money to spend on text votes.

"Siguro nakita namin nila ang results ng text votes," he says. "I wasn't the one who got the most number of votes but Steven, then Diva. So kung totoong we're using our money to make me win, di sana akong number one. Masakit din as people judge me as if it's a sin na may kaya ang parents ko. The truth is ayaw nila kong mag-join dito, but I love performing and it's not just because of fame and fortune. I'm here because it's my passion and I believe in myself and in what I can do. Di man ako ang Ultimate Survivor, I'll still feel blessed na I'm in the Final 5 dahil it helped a lot to improve my personality."
