<p>Where is viral ‘EXpecially For You’ searchee Avon Rosales now?</p><p>Rosales entered show business in 2015, appearing in teleseryes before releasing her debut single &quot;Hawak&quot; in 2018 through Viva Records. Despite her love for show business, she decided to leave the Philippines to spend time with her family in the United States.</p><p>She continued to visit the country whenever she gets time. On one of her vacations to Manila in 2023, she was ready to book her flight back to the United States, which coincided with the premiere of the &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime&quot; segment &quot;Expecially For You,&quot; when she saw an advertisement for the show and decided to try out as a participant.</p><p>“Parang pabaon din for me pabalik dito. I was about to book my flight back then and I just thought why not. Sabi kasi ng Tita ko, maghanap na raw ako ng boyfriend since I’ve been single na for a long time,” she told ABS-CBN News. </p><p>Reflecting on her journey as a searchee, she added, “So, nakita ko ‘yung ads while browsing and I thought, masubukan nga at baka doon ko makita si the one. Iba pala ang nakita ko. Nakita ko ‘yung sarili ko. Minsan pala nagtra-transform ako into nova.”</p><p>To be fair, Rosales&#x27; appearances on the show&#x27;s segment were among the most-watched episodes, and Vice Ganda, the show&#x27;s host, invited her back.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1730950362723image0 (19).jpeg" style="width:633px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Viral ‘EXpecially For You’ searchee Avon Rosales pursues career on TikTok"/></div><div><br/></div><p>According to her, it was the show’s segment that let her discover the other side of herself, which is funny and confident. She doubted herself for long years before joining the show. And she owes everything to Vice.</p><p>“It was unforgettable because I thought it was the first time I really had fun though I took all of the questions seriously. As in pinag-isipan ko talaga ‘yun. I just really like to ask questions if there’s anything I do not understand. I assumed Vice was just playing around with me, and I had no idea the entire act could make people laugh. I had never considered being a comedian, but Vice transformed me into an instant comedienne at the time,” she shared.</p><p>Praising and thanking Vice, she continued, “That was a brilliant move by Vice Ganda. I hadn&#x27;t noticed that aspect of myself in a long time, but Vice Ganda did, and for that, I thought I&#x27;d be forever grateful to her and the entire Showtime team.”</p><p>“I thought not only could they make people happy, but the show also gave others opportunities and even put them in the spotlight. While some people believe Vice makes fun of others, I believe she attempts to let others shine, and I speak from experience,” the Expecially For You contestant added.</p><p>Rosales summarized her entire journey on &quot;Showtime,&quot; stating that her exposure on the show has opened a lot of opportunities, including a number of fans messaging her and a new TikTok project in the United States.</p><p>“I recall being at a gas station, and the gas boy had just shouted AvoNova, and the other was asking if I was the girl from Expecially For You. Naging magandang pabaon siya sa akin. Dahil sa journey na ‘yun, nag-reach out sa akin ang isang affiliated TikTok agency here in the US, Alta Talent Agency. I’m currently doing my TikTok Live tuwing Tuesday hanggang Saturday sa @missavonn,” she said.</p><p>About her new journey as content creator, she expressed: “It&#x27;s more of a variety live show, with me singing, telling stories, and performing everything. I find it both enjoyable and hard. However, at the end of the day, it was still a lot of fun.”</p><p>“I&#x27;m currently focusing on my family and loving the live streaming life, which allows me to accomplish things comparable to what I do in showbiz over there. It may not be as large as what I&#x27;ve been doing, but I&#x27;m grateful, blessed, and content right now that I can make people happy in the same way that I used to entertain and inspire in the most creative way possible on the livestream, and most importantly, that I can spend time with my family,” she told ABS-CBN News.</p><p>The TikTok livestreamer plans to return to &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime&quot; to thank Vice in person. As she concluded her chat with ABS-CBN News, she explained why it is important for her to use her platform effectively, saying that a girl who watched her said she saved her life from depression.</p><p>“I&#x27;m discovering that a platform like this may inspire, if not save, a life, such as the girl who messaged me unexpectedly and stated I saved her life. I assumed that being on television or any social media site was simply part of the trend or part of my job in the industry. Not until someone messaged me with their real-life story. I discovered that being where the Lord has placed me has a deeper meaning than I previously believed. I realized it is not just significant but crucial, since it not only inspires, but it also serves as a channel to transform people&#x27;s lives, like that girl and another woman who messaged me during a hurricane in Florida,” she ended.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ykmVudRki_0?&amp;pp=ygUVQXZvbiBSb3NhbGVzIFNob3d0aW1l&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M81XbryYFlw?&amp;pp=ygUVQXZvbiBSb3NhbGVzIFNob3d0aW1l&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RubqPn5WV1s?&amp;pp=ygUVQXZvbiBSb3NhbGVzIFNob3d0aW1l&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div>
