finally back. ‘Starstruck’ is now on its 7th season and on its pilot
episode on Saturday, it has officially revealed the finalists.
Part-time model-performer of The Art Nouveau (TAN) Models
Maynard Bungabong Fullido is part of the Top 22 of StarStruck 7.
“I’m fighting for a spot to continue my Starstruck
journey. I am grateful and proud that I came this far andI thank you all
who supported me in this journey,” said the 19-year old part-time model from
Capitol Valley in Tagbilaran City.
Maynard tried his luck on GMA’s two-day
‘StarStruck’ audition held at Robinsons Galleria Cebu last Feb. 16.
“My Starstruck experience is unforgettable because I
wasn’t expecting that I get passed in audition. There were many young hopefuls
like me who auditioned,” he said.
He made the cut and he was told to fly to Manila for the
nationwide selection.
“My dream is to become a role model. I want to inspire
other people that they can be whatever they want to be in the future,” he
told VRS when asked what made him to audition for the talent
search.
He enjoyed the StarStruck audition.
He was also encouraged by his manager and friend Khim
Roger Ryan Laway Magtagad of TAN Models to audition for StarStruck.
Maynard is not a newbie in the entertainment industry.

Aside from being a member of the Bohol Boyband, he was a
grand finalist of Mr. BQ Mall 2018 who won the best in talent and production
number awards.
Maynard said he is a dreamer, believer and survivor in
real life.
Meanwhile, Boholana actress Rich Asuncion posted on
Friday her #FlashbackFriday photo when she joined the
Starstruck 4: The Next Level.
On her Facebook status, she narrated her father
accompanied her to the Cebu auditions back in 2007.
“We braved through the storm (literally) just to make it
there. Luckily, I made the cut and was told to fly to Manila for the nationwide
selection,” said Rich.
She said it wasn’t an easy decision to make because she
was already enroled for the second semester.
“There was no guarantee that I would even make it to the
finals. There were still 100 auditionees and they were cutting it down to only
14 hopefuls through series of eliminations. But I said to myself, this
opportunity will only come once. I then took the leap and the rest is history,”
she said.
