Tuesday Vargas: 'Talentadong Pinoy is close to my heart'

MANILA, Philippines- Tuesday Vargas is happy to be  part of the comeback of TV5's talent search show "Talentadong Pinoy."

 

She said, however, that she  would rather be a host than a judge of the contestants.

 

"Hindi po ako makapaniwala," Tuesday said about hosting the show together with Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla. "Actually natanggap ko po 'yong tawag, in all honesty po, Friday ang taping, saglit na saglit lang po tapos hindi ko pa alam ang buong detalye.

 

"No'ng nalaman ko po 'yong bibigay na tungkulin, mga gagawin, sinabi ko po sa manager ko na kung anuman 'yan, mag-oo na tayo. Kasi naniniwala po ako na hindi po 'yan darating kung hindi po nakalaan."

 

This project is an addition to Tuesday's shows with the Kapatid network namely "Good Morning Club" and "Tropa Mo Ko Unli."

 

Yet admittedly, "Talentadong Pinoy" is the closest to her heart.

 

"Kasi tuwing maglalakad ka sa mall, ganyan, ang lumalapit sa akin lagi lola, nanay, may mga kaidaran. Tapos talagang may yapos, 'yong sinasabi, 'Tuesday, 'yong sinabi mo no'ng episode na 'to...' tandang-tanda po nila. Ibig sabihin po tayo ay malaking instrumento sa paghubog ng utak ng tao," she explained.

 

"Talentadong Pinoy" will start airing on August 16, with guest judges Alice Dixson, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, and John "Sweet" Lapus.
