Martin ipinasa kay Pops ang pangarap na international career!
Unang ini-offer kay Martin Nievera ang maging isa sa judges sa foreign talent search na The World’s Best. Ikinuwento niya sa presscon ng Valentine concert nila ni Lani Misalucha na Timeless Classics sa February 14, 2019 sa PICC Plenary Hall kung paano napunta ‘yon kay Pops Fernandez.
“Actually, I really got it. So I went on a Face Time audition which I’ve never done and asked me these questions and I was just being myself and ok, I was in. ‘You’re exactly what we’re looking for.’
“I gave my schedules and it so happened that there’s everyday taping for the show, I have concerts in different city. So I tried to get out of my commitment including Ana Puno’s shows but she was willing in fairness, to move the whole concert which was almost sold out so I can have this international break. But I couldn’t get out of my schedules!
“So this was what happened. ‘Sorry, Martin, we really want you. We have already organized our tapings days. We can’t meet your schedules. Do you know anyone else that you could fit you that could play your role.’ ‘I have co-host for many, many years and I think she would be very, very good.’ What’s her name?’ I told, ‘Pops Fernandez.’ ‘My God she’s also on the list!’
“’How do your know her?’ So I said, ‘My God how do I know her? Well, we have two kids.’ Binaba na ang fone. They didn’t know what you all know about me and Pops.
“They wanted to have both of us to do it. In fairness sa judges, ‘I really, really cannot!’ So they spoke to Pops and fixed the schedules.
“Of course, the funny thing is I’ve always wanted that. When we talk about international, I’ve always wanted that break! And I was so fixated about that. So much so, I’ve actually lost Pops and the kids!
“Coz I’m so hungry for fame, international fame! And finally it is here and who do I give it to? The person I lost!
“That’s God. ‘Ahh ganoon, huh!’ But I’m so happy I gave to Pops. So I’m so happy she got this good break and I’m really rooting for her that she represents the country well!” paliwanag ni Martin.
