Little Miss Philippines '87 - Retrospect

Highlights would include, me going against Aiza Siguerra during the finals. While doing the "It's a small world" presentation, the cute little 2 1/2yo bibo tripped, I was beside her and helped her up. She made it to the magic 10, i didn't. I cried, went home with a big enervon-C as consolation prize.

Every day since then, I watched Aiza on Eat Bulaga doing her duck walk :) She became a child star, a lesbian, a great acoustic singer. I might not live the enchanting showbiz life she had, she most probably doesn't even remember me. However, I dare say I once shared the spotlight with her. For details how it came about, read below at your own risk :)

Eat bulaga was airing at channel9 back then. I don't remember how I auditioned for the said contest, but the idea came from the two badings working for my mom's salon. During the "daily" contest and we have to bring our own upright piano to the studio. It must have weighed a ton, six macho guys were barely able to lift the said musical instrument. Anyway, back at the studio, the idea of having two escorts, my twin brothers, was very refreshing to them. First part where you do your introduction (name, age, motto) went rather smoothly. However, during the talent portion, where I played "chopsticks" I missed some notes which I doubt they noticed. The audience laughed during Q&A when joey and vic asked my brothers:

J&V: Kambal kayo?
*brothers nod*
J&V: ikaw (points to brother in left) si kita (Quita, our surname)...
ikaw naman (refers to brother in right) si sweldo!

Q&A goes..

J&V: "Halimbawa nasa mall kayo kasama mo nanay mo. Sa dami ng tao, bigla kang nawala. Anong gagawin mo?"
K: "Pupunta po ako sa guard, papahanap ko nanay ko."

O diba, panalo ang sagot! :D It was a tie between contestant#2 and me (I was the third). And so we move on to the semis.

I can only remember that my PA's (hanep!) were clearly nervous for me when the straberry lipgloss spilled over to my dress I was wearing for the talent portion. Again, I played "chopticks", seamlessly now.

Q&A goes:

J&V: "Kung nalaman mo na sumali din ang bestfriend mo dito sa Little Ms Philippines. Magagalit ka ba sa kanya at bakit?"
K: "Hindi po.. kasi contest lang po to, bestfriend ko po sya."
J&V: "Sports lang.. kung sino matalo at manalo ok lang, ganun ba?"
K: "Opo."
