MANILA, Philippines - The Voice Kids Philippines second runner-up Juan Karlos “JK” Labajo (photo) will inspire the viewers of ABS-CBN’s Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) through his life story that will be aired tonight at 8 after Wansapanataym on ABS-CBN. The 13-year-old The Voice Kids cutie will portray himself in the upcoming episode.
Contrary to public perception that he is well-off, the half-German and half-Filipino young singer will share in MMK the life of poverty that he faced since birth. Together with his grandmother and uncle who raised him, JK grew up thinking that he should work hard for everything that their family has.
