How would he explain the fame he’s having now? He’s seen on TV daily, Monday to Saturday in “Showtime” and Sundays in “Gandang Gabi, Vice”. Aside from his movie, he just had a hit big concert and is now promoting his first album, “Lakas Tama”. “Ang masasabi ko lang, panahon ko ngayon, kaya wag nyo ng harangin.”
What really happened between him and Boss Vic del Rosario, also Director GM Sampedro? It was reported he had a rift with them. “Nanahimik ako noon kasi may mga taong mapapahamak kapag nagsalita ako. About Direk GB, natapos yung concert namin ng maayos, wala naman siyang sinabi sa’kin, so nagtataka ko bakit may mga lumabas later. Kung may nasaktan man ako, sorry. About Boss Vic, totoo, sumama ang loob ko, but he resolved it nang maayos kaya nga nagawa naming nang matiwasay yung concert. Ok kami. Ang dami niyang binibigay na projects sa’kin. May movie, album, he handles my endorsements, so hindi mangyayari yung kundi kami ok. Kaya sana, wag na lang palakihin pa yan.”
Vice is called the Unkabogable Star and Globe Prepaid got him anew for their Superunlialltx25 promo that offers unlimited text to all networks and 10 minutes of free call to Globe/TM plus 1-hour mobile internet for only P25. “Sa pagpasok ni Vice sa amin, naging sobrang ganda ng business for prepaid,” says Globe boss Kathy Dizon. “It really did well for us to get an exciting entertainer like him. Walang pinagkaiba ang talent ni Vice at our new promo, they’re both unlimited.”
