Twenty-two-year old Star in a Million fourth placer, Christian Bautista, tells me he wants to be a jack-of-all-trades. Funny he should say that, since Star in a Million’s  deck, it was he that was the Jack: the fourth. Three others took the top spots, while someone else was brought in as the Joker.
