THREE STARSTRUCK V alumni who didn’t make it to the top 5 now have flourishing careers on GMA-7. The talented Sef Cadayona was one of the first to be eliminated but he’s now in no less than four shows. He’s does dance numbers in “Party Pilipinas”, acts in “Ilumina” and Q Channel 11’s “I Laugh Sabado”, and does hosting in “Startalk”. The Fil-Japanese Nina Kodaka has decided to stay home and not to return to Japan anymore. She’s now also a mainstay as segment host in “Startalk”, along with Starstruck IV recruits Jan Manual and Chariz Solomon, who have both proven their talent in comedy. Meantime, in “Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition”, one Starstruck V talent who’s proving to be one tough castaway is Fil-German American Ian Batherson. The energetic and athletic Ian is in love with extreme sports like skateboarding and wakeboarding, so being in “Survivor Philippines” is really right up his alley. All these young talents are managed by GMA Artists Center.
