<p>It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 18 years since Hero Angeles won the title of first &quot;Grand Teen Questor&quot; in ABS-CBN&#x27;s 2004 reality star search competition Star Circle Quest which helped launch his showbiz career along with his fellow batchmates Sandara Park, Joross Gamboa, Roxanne Guinoo, and Melissa Ricks. This year, Hero returns to doing heavy drama in the April 2 episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. During the MMK mediacon, Hero revealed how the show became a pivotal part of his career early on in showbiz. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/8/2/fresh-scoops/hero-angeles-reveals-conflicting-covid-19-tests-re-194978"><u><strong>READ: Hero Angeles reveals conflicting COVID-19 tests results: ‘Parang huminto ang mundo ko’</strong></u></a></div><p>“Actually marami ng pinagbago. 2004 kasi ako sumali sa SCQ and then after nun isa sa mga unang projects ko after SCQ is MMK talaga. So naging letter sender ako dito, ako din yung gumanap dun sa life story ko. Dun pa lang ang dami ko ng natutunan. And then kapag nabibigyan ako ng projects, TV shows, movies, nadadagdagan siya. Pero habang tumatagal ang panahon na ang dami kong natututunan, ang sabi ko, hindi lang pala sa contest mo ito matututunan yung mga kailangan mong matutunan. Kailangan mo ma-meet yung mga iba’t ibang tao, yung iba’t ibang director, yung iba’t ibang artista. Kasi marami kang kapupulutan na aral sa kanila. Just like sa MMK, ilang beses na rin akong naging bahagi dito at ang dami kong nakikilalang tao at nakakausap. Yung mga nagbibigay ng advice, lalong lalo na yung mga nakakatrabaho kong mga artista, yung mga batikang artista, nakakatuwa kasi ang laki ng nako-contribute nila sa akin,” he shared. </p><blockquote

Raised by their grandmother, the three brothers strive to do their best to create a better life for their lola by finding work abroad.</p><p>“Pag napanuod kasi ito ng viewers, for sure sa tatlong magkakapatid, meron at meron silang makaka-relate. Siguro sa ugali, sa pagmamahal sa kapatid, pagmamahal sa magulang, pagmamahal sa lola at mga lolo. Masasabi nila pag napanuod nila ‘to, ‘Ay ako ito. Makaka-relate ako dito.’ Kasi sa aming tatlo hindi naman kaming lahat may kapatid talaga. Like si Marlo mag-isang anak siya. Si Sky dalawa sila. Ako apat kaming magkakapatid. So napagkuwentuhan din namin yun sa set. Siguro kung sino kami bilang mga anak at bilang mga apo, makikita nila dito tapos pag napanuod yun ng viewers makikita nila yung sarili nila. Makakatulong din yung characters namin as Villadares brothers para ma-inspire sila kasi sobrang inspiring nung story ng tatlong magkakapatid bilang mga Pilipino na nagsumikap dito sa bansa natin na ngayon ay nasa ibang bansa na. Makikita niyo yung proseso kung paano sila nagtagumpay bilang magkakapatid at bilang mga indibiduwal,” he explained. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/3/19/fresh-scoops/hero-angeles-shows-off-his-miniature-face-mask-art-20996"><u><strong>READ: Hero Angeles shows off his miniature face mask artwork: ‘Create not hate’</strong></u></a></div><p>Watch Maalaala Mo Kaya this Saturday, April 2.
