<p>Since his first stint on <em>It’s Showtime</em>’s Tawag ng Tanghalan in 2016, singer Jeremiah Tiangco has already proven himself as a formidable singer. The 27-year-old joined another singing competition in 2019 and became <em>The Clash</em> season 2’s grand champion. But despite his achievements, he admitted returning in the Grand Resbak season this year and competing with 48 other returning contestants is not going to be easy. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Hindi po eh. Kasi back to zero ito and knowing na ganito yung mga kasabayan ko, eh dapat hindi ka relaxed, hindi ka kalmado sa mga puwedeng mangyari. Feeling ko hindi talaga siya advantage kasi halos lahat dito magagaling. Mula sa bata hanggang sa pinakamatanda,” he said during he All Star Tawag ng Tanghalan Grand Resbak media conference held earlier this month.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHIYG_EyJbu/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A15248835.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="963" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/3/13/karylle-on-admiring-tawag-ng-tanghalan-s-grand-resbakers-they-are-my-inspiration-1017" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Karylle on admiring Tawag ng Tanghalan’s Grand Resbakers: ‘They are my inspiration’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Jeremiah said he has grown a lot as performer since performing on the TnT stage in 2016 and did not want to miss out on the opportunity to prove himself he can do better this time around.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Siguro, I’m blessed and happy na andito ako sa Tawag ng Tanghalan kasi dito ako nagsimula. Lahat lahat ng mga experiences ko along the way, and failures along the way ay nagamit ko sa ibang mga competition like The Clash<em></em> and so and so. Lahat ng andito may elemento ng panglaban talaga. Siguro feeling ko ang paghahanda ko ay tulog lang talaga (laughs).</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Halos noon yun naman yung panglaban ko talaga, tulog at pahinga. Nung sinabi sa akin yung qualification dito sa Grand Resbak ay yung hindi pa nag-cha-champion sa Tawag ng Tanghalan, sabi ko why not grab the opportunity since dito ako nagsimula and sobrang happy at blessed ako na ang dami ko ring mga kakilala dito na tumalo din sa akin (laughs). So, sobra sobrang happy lang ako na nandito kami bawat isa, bukod sa competition ay fun lang, kumbaga masaya lang this time,” he shared. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHFx_MAyEf9/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A15248850%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="945" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/7/12/-champions-khimo-jeremiah-tiangco-perform-on-showtime-1312" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: &#x27;Champions&#x27; Khimo, Jeremiah Tiangco perform on &#x27;Showtime&#x27;</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Jeremiah also recalled who defeated him in his last stint on the show, none other than his fellow TnT alumni Sofronio Vaquez who won <em>The Voice US </em>Season 26 last January.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Yung pagkatalo ko dito sa TnT is yung huling laban ko which was kuya Sofronio (Vasquez) tapos ako. Ang dami ko kumbaga unfinished business. So yung preparation ko since bata pa lang ako, maliit ako, siguro matatawag na hindi pa ako mature enough para sumabak sa competition na yun. Masasbi ko na yun ang sobrang nagturo sa akin na maging mature pa para sumabak pa sa mga competition,” he admitted. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHClutsyX1z/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A111472.50000000003%2C%22ls%22%3A6112.5%2C%22le%22%3A6704.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="963" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHDN_EaS7YK/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A112607.80000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A6112.5%2C%22le%22%3A6704.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="939" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The former two-time defending champion on Tawag ng Tanghalan admitted he has learned to deal with stage fright and the pressure of competition better now at this point in his life. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Masasabi ko na yung una kasi wala pa akong experience talaga nun and hindi ko pa alam kung paano gumagalaw yung sistema sa stage, yung mga ganung kind of pressure.
