FunTranscript
00:00Let's talk to the incredible breadwinner singer!
00:04Come here, Al Quinn!
00:06Al Quinn!
00:08Bonguit!
00:10Hi, Al Quinn!
00:12Where are you from again?
00:14I'm from Dasmariñas, Cavite.
00:16Where do you sing?
00:18I sing in singing contests.
00:20You're not a professional singer, right?
00:22Do you have gigs?
00:24Yes.
00:26If there's no contest, I have a gig.
00:29Where do you have gigs?
00:31Right now, I have a gig in a coffee shop.
00:33It's near us.
00:35In Cavite.
00:37In Imos, Cavite.
00:39Coffee shop? So, it's not at night?
00:41It's still at night.
00:43Until 1am.
00:45And you still attend singing contests?
00:47Yes.
00:49The next day.
00:51Right now, I'm a bit busy.
00:53Because this December,
00:55there are still a lot of parties.
00:57That's why I still sing at night.
00:59But that's how I do my vocalization.
01:01That's true.
01:03You're very nervous.
01:05To relax my lips.
01:11How many contests do you attend in a week?
01:13About five.
01:15But sometimes,
01:17I continue singing until one week.
01:19If there's still more.
01:21As long as I can lower my voice.
01:23Your gig is only once a week?
01:26I prioritize my gigs.
01:28Because there are a lot of songs.
01:30So, it's tiring.
01:32And it's late.
01:34Unlike contests,
01:36if you're lucky,
01:38one or two songs,
01:40the biggest one is 5K.
01:42So, if you don't prioritize,
01:44you can't attend your regular gigs?
01:46Yes.
01:48I talk to people
01:50if I don't have a gig.
01:52Because I have an event.
01:54I'm a reliever.
01:56It's like
02:00an informal profession.
02:02It's like the baddies
02:04and trans people who join a pageant.
02:06It's not really a profession.
02:08But they made it a profession
02:10because they're looking for Ms. K.
02:12Because
02:14almost every night,
02:16it's the same.
02:18All the parties,
02:20it became their profession.
02:23It's still a contest.
02:25It's the biggest bread and butter.
02:27It's really hard.
02:29Every party is different.
02:31From the closest to your house
02:33to the farthest place.
02:35Sometimes,
02:37in one party,
02:39there are 3 pageants,
02:41you'll join all of them.
02:43It's true.
02:45It happened to us when we were kids.
02:47All the parties,
02:49we'll join all of them.
02:51It's the same for dancers,
02:53singers, right?
02:55Yes.
02:57How much did you win?
02:59The biggest one was 30K.
03:01One night.
03:03But you also have lot days.
03:05Yes. Sometimes,
03:07one month.
03:09It's all consolation.
03:11That's why I force myself to have a gig.
03:13Because in a gig, it's sure money.
03:15In a contest,
03:17it's like gambling.
03:20What place did you win tonight?
03:22But in that gambling,
03:24you won more.
03:26This year, yes.
03:28That's why I achieved a lot this year.
03:30Can we hear
03:32what you won the most?
03:34A piece.
03:36Actually, my song is not
03:38heart-pounding.
03:40It's heart-pounding.
03:42But I didn't even...
03:44What's your favorite song?
03:46Just as an example.
03:49Yes.
03:51What's your favorite song?
03:53It's not difficult even if it's not heart-pounding.
03:57The most heart-pounding.
03:59The one you don't need to force yourself.
04:01The one he sang earlier
04:03while he was still alive.
04:05It's okay.
04:07Okay.
04:09I wanted
04:11to live
04:13for a long time
04:15for a long time
04:17if this
04:19time
04:21will pass
04:23that
04:25I'll be with you
04:27while
04:29I'm alive
04:33I'll give
04:35my life
04:37to you
04:39I'll give
04:41my life
04:47My prayer
04:49My prayer
04:51is that
04:53you'll be with me
04:55whenever
04:57the fire
04:59in my heart
05:01doesn't die
05:03while
05:05I'm alive
05:07while
05:09I'm alive
05:11as long as
05:13my blood
05:16doesn't die
05:18I'll give
05:20my life
05:22to you
05:26I'll give
05:28my life
05:30to you
05:32I'll give
05:34my life
05:36to you
05:40We have so many breadwinners
05:42while they're still alive.
05:44They serve and take care
05:46of their whole family.
05:48How many
05:50do you count?
05:52How many people
05:54do you live with now?
05:586 or 7.
06:0013.
06:026 or 7.
06:046 or 7 because sometimes
06:06one of them passed away
06:08and another one came back.
06:106 or 7.
06:136 or 7.
06:15How many years did you start to be a breadwinner?
06:17In 2020.
06:19But
06:21it was the most difficult
06:23from 2021 to now.
06:25Why did that responsibility
06:27go to you?
06:29What happened to your parents?
06:31At first,
06:33I was okay with working.
06:35I'll give to my family.
06:37But I saw that
06:39even if I give, it's still not enough
06:41because they can't afford it all.
06:43My dad can't afford
06:45to pay for everything.
06:47My mom can't afford it all.
06:49So I was forced to give everything
06:51so that we can be okay.
06:55What is your dad's job?
06:57My dad is a barber.
06:59How much does he earn?
07:01Before,
07:03when he was young,
07:05he earned around 500 to 1000.
07:07But now,
07:10he's old.
07:12His arm hurts.
07:14So he doesn't cut much.
07:16The biggest is 300.
07:18But sometimes,
07:20150.
07:22A day.
07:24I don't count
07:26what my dad does.
07:28If he has something,
07:30it's okay.
07:32But if he doesn't,
07:34I don't force him.
07:36In my mindset,
07:38I don't force him.
07:40Are you the eldest?
07:42Yes.
07:44How many siblings do you have?
07:46We are six.
07:48So the five of you
07:50are the ones who are in charge of school?
07:52Yes.
07:54But our youngest,
07:56sometimes,
07:58because he's in a different family,
08:00he's burdened
08:02by his eldest son.
08:04Because he's the rock bottom of my family,
08:07Where's your mom now?
08:09She's not working anymore?
08:11My mom is in rehabilitation.
08:13But she'll be out
08:15in April.
08:17April 8th.
08:19It's been 8 months.
08:21But we haven't visited her yet.
08:23Because she can't?
08:25Yes. She said it's part of healing.
08:27So even in December,
08:29we asked her if it's okay
08:31even this Christmas,
08:33she said it's not okay.
08:36Since you mentioned
08:38that your mom was rehabilitated,
08:40were you the one who rehabilitated her?
08:42Yes.
08:44Because in 2024,
08:46I got a new piece.
08:48It's called Laklak.
08:50I became more mature, especially here in Manila.
08:52So I won more often.
08:54So I saved up
08:56money
08:58to save it
09:00for my wins.
09:02But I paid the bills.
09:04Because it's expensive to pay the bills.
09:06No. I really saved up money
09:08to buy a car
09:10for amateurs.
09:12Just second-hand cars.
09:14So you saved up money for your car
09:16to use in contests.
09:18But you used the money to pay the bills.
09:20That's what I thought.
09:22Because I said,
09:24I can still earn money,
09:26but if I can cure my mom,
09:28it'll be a different fulfillment
09:30if she gets better.
09:34Because as an amateur,
09:36I can still earn money.
09:38But as time goes by,
09:40my mom might not be able
09:42to take it anymore.
09:44So even if it's hard
09:46to bring all my money to her,
09:48it's okay for me
09:50because she's my mom.
09:52I just thought of it
09:54as a way to cure her.
09:58Your siblings are studying well.
10:00Yes, they're studying well.
10:03Very good. That's their gift to you.
10:05It feels good.
10:07Yes.
10:09Your money doesn't go to waste.
10:11Yes. My second sibling
10:13is graduating from Senior High.
10:15The third one is graduating
10:17from Junior High.
10:19The other two are in Grade 6.
10:21Wow!
10:23You have a lot of achievements.
10:25You're so proud.
10:27That's just because of my voice.
10:29That's why she said
10:31it was all worth it.
10:33It was all worth it.
10:35Her hard work
10:37didn't go to waste.
10:39That's why she doesn't get tired.
10:41Yes.
10:43How can you not get tired?
10:45You're physically tired.
10:47Your heart is beating faster
10:49when you see
10:51what happened to you.
10:53What happened to you?
10:55What did you do
10:57to me?
11:00That's what hurts them more.
11:02Right?
11:04That's why when your heart is broken
11:06and your mind is in a mess,
11:08your physical condition weakens.
11:10That's why you get tired
11:12and you can't continue your work.
11:14It's different when you just continue
11:16what you're doing.
11:18You won't feel tired
11:20because you know where you're going
11:22and you can see
11:24that you're in a good position.
11:26There are a lot of breadwinners
11:28but when you see
11:30that they're supporting you,
11:32it's all worth it.
11:34It's all worth it.
11:36That's what faith is all about.
11:38You can't see it.
11:40You can't see
11:42what you're holding.
11:44That's why it's important
11:46for the breadwinners to see
11:48the result of their hard work.
11:50If not,
11:52they're really pitiful.
11:54That's why it's good to watch
11:57how happy they are with their life.
11:59And when they're enumerating
12:01their successes,
12:03it makes me happy.
12:05Very strong person.
12:07So young but so strong.
12:09People don't take it for granted.
12:11They don't take you for granted.
12:13I hope they don't take you for granted.
12:15It's not about
12:17what you should be accepting.
12:19Being taken for granted
12:21is not about that.
12:23You should be seen and valued.
12:26It's the product of your hard work.
12:28That's why
12:30we're all rooting for you
12:32and your family.
12:34I hope your mom gets better
12:36and she continues
12:38to work for herself
12:40and for her family.
12:42I hope your siblings
12:44finish their studies
12:46so that one day
12:48they can take care of themselves
12:50and give back to their families
12:52and their families.
12:54I hope you don't catch a cold
12:56or get sick
12:58or get infected.
13:00Actually, this month...
13:02Are you sick?
13:04No, I'm not.
13:06I was planning to rest
13:08this December
13:10because I have a throat problem.
13:12But because
13:14a lot of us are paying for it
13:16and it's Christmas,
13:18my siblings need a Christmas party,
13:20I said,
13:23even though I'm already tired.
13:25Someone asked me
13:27to drink
13:29steroids.
13:31Who told you to drink that?
13:33My friend, a singer.
13:35Don't listen to
13:37prescriptions from friends
13:39that are not true.
13:41I stopped drinking
13:43because I was affected.
13:45I can sing
13:47but the next day,
13:49I felt so weak.
13:51I'll lend you this.
13:53I'll give you scarves.
13:55Maybe later,
13:57your medicine won't suit you.
13:59And you can't abuse
14:01using steroids.
14:03You should have a prescription.
14:05Maybe you'll have abs in your neck.
14:07Maybe we'll be stuck for 3 days.
14:09You know,
14:11as a singer, you need EMT.
14:13They're the specialists
14:15for the throat.
14:17I'll send you to my sister's clinic
14:20Wow!
14:22So she can tell you.
14:24Even professional singers,
14:26sometimes they use the wrong medicine.
14:28They're more at risk.
14:30That's why you need a prescription.
14:32Okay, I'll send you
14:34to my sister's clinic.
14:36Aside from that,
14:38as a recognition of your success,
14:40your sacrifice,
14:42as a breadwinner,
14:44and as a singer,
14:46we'll support you in your profession.
14:48We'll give you new outfits
14:50for your singing competitions and gigs.
14:52You'll need
14:54shoes, pants,
14:56clothes.
14:58Not only for you,
15:00but also for your siblings
15:02so they'll be happy this Christmas.
15:04You'll also receive
15:06a music and entertainment package,

16:12your stress in the future.
16:14I hope we can reduce
