In a separate post, Maine narrated how she started her journey:
“It was this time last year when I first set my foot on Broadway Centrum. June 19, 2015 was the day I auditioned for Eat Bulaga. I can still remember how nervous and timid I was as I stand in the middle of the stage, facing the camera. It’s been a year but I still wonder how I was able to survive that audition unprepared. People who tried out their luck along with me that day were all psyched-up and had everything prepared; and then there I was, as Ma’am Jenny would describe it, “Walang kalatuy-latoy”. Those who have seen my audition video could tell that there was nothing striking in me when I stood up on that stage–aside from my big red lips that took people’s attention–there was clearly nothing more. I mustered an ounce of confidence to act like a crazy woman when I was asked to, thinking that would be the only way to get a chance to pass the audition. I was able to do it but I knew I did it horribly. I was discouraged and I already knew right there and then that I lost my chance. Still, I was holding onto this little possibility that they’d call me back, also thinking that even if they don’t, I am glad and proud that I did not let this opportunity pass me by. I went home with a smile on my face, gave myself a pat on the back and told myself “At least you tried.””
