00:00Hello, Kapuso! This is Vilmarc, and this is my Kapuso Confessions.
00:13I think they are Kuya Garrett,
00:16Jeremiah, Kuya Anthony, and Chandrex.
00:20Because they were the ones who were with me during the time that I was still performing on All Out Sundays.
00:24I think that would be Ms. Julianne.
00:33I always remember how caring she was to me during my class journey.
00:40And that continued during the time that I was still performing on All Out Sundays.
00:45And I can see how versatile an artist she is, and how she takes care of her career.
00:53So I hope that I can be like her.
01:00The last person I called is my mom.
01:04I told her that I'm here and that I'm about to start my interviews.
01:10And the last person I texted is also my mom.
01:13Because she's the one I always talk to.
01:15My mom always asks for updates.
01:17I feel like she'll come if I don't tell her where I am.
01:21But it's okay, she's just my mom's boy.
01:24I just really love my mom.
01:32I was focused on my studies during my college years and until I started working.
01:38I never imagined that I would be a part of GMA Music and that I would be able to participate in a competition.
01:46I was focused on providing for my family.
01:50But I told myself, why not give it a try for the last time.
01:55And with God's grace, I was able to continue.
01:58And this platform allowed me to release my songs.
02:07I'm tall.
02:08And when they see me in person, they'll say,
02:14I'm just this tall.
02:16I'm not tall.
02:18I'm just 5-something.
02:24One thing I hate is when they don't value my time.
02:31I love it when fans recognize me when I'm outside.
02:35Because most of the time, I don't see myself as a well-known artist.
02:44But it's funny when fans recognize me and say,
02:48You're Bill Mark, right?
02:50And I'm usually at home.
02:52It's like those moments.
02:59I'm always nervous.
03:01They say it's not normal if you're not nervous.
03:04My heart beats so fast before I perform.
03:08It doesn't change until now.
03:11And it just disappears right away when the mic is in my hand and I'm about to perform.
03:21My main motivation right now is for my music to be known.
03:26Because I want to be recognized by the people who compose my songs.
03:32Because as a singer and a composer,
03:35it feels different when you know that a lot of people are listening to your music.
03:40That's my motivation for me to compose and release more music.
