Derek narrated how the Kapuso Network reached out to get to know, not only him but his family. "I was shocked they reached out to my folks and we had a great meeting. No negative talk, they just wanted to get to know me and my family.
"And my family, they said 'you should do this.' And I was like wow, they are really so close to me so when I felt so comfortable, sabi ko perfect fit na talaga to. They gave me the time to prepare my mind, my body."
