Professor Marion, ano po sa tingin nilang nangyari sa first round? That's it. So, feeling ko ay ninervused lang sila. Pero talagang mga pinoy ganyan, di ba pag-uuna, pabugug na pabugug, parang boxing yan, pero in the end, mangrarali yan, cramming. So, humabul kayo ha, at least may nakaskor. Fighting! Fighting! At the end of the K-check Parabiyan, we have Christine and the lead. Kailangan makabawin sila, next round, no, kakayan nilayan. Ready na ba kayong lahat para sa susunod na pabilisan round? That's next dito sa... K-check! Before we continue, may gusto akong itanong kay Jano. Parang may hugut yung sinabi mo kanina na you believe that there is a place in the workforce for a theater arts major like you. Pake paluwanag naman ko. Siguro this is coming from the inequality of access. Kasi as of this moment, the arts specifically theater, we don't have a system that takes care of people in the creative industry. And for someone to be coming from the province, I want to break also the access that it is actually very metromonilacentric din. Kaya, I hope people out there who are also watching a dreamer and the art enthusiasts in the province, I hope you feel represented. We all have a place out here and let's work together to make arts a viable career path for the young Filipino arts enthusiasts. Christine, how does it feel that you're a teacher and yet it seems like you're taking the exam today? Syarpa na kakakakapa na bilang t-shirt. Ginagawa lang namin ko sa klasong pag-make-wisbe, pero kaya na akong innan dito kabad ko. Pero sabihin ko na, syarpa bilang ko, nag-handan naman ako. Pero gusto ko rin, kaya ako sumari dito. Kasi, lalala ko nung bata ako, nabutan ko yung battle of the brains. So, wala ng ganun palabas ngayon. So, gusto ko na, hikayat yung mga mananood, lalo na yung mga kabataan na makilahok sa ganyong uri ng palabas para mahasasila sa kailinang karolong. Danny, may tanong ako sayo, no? Totobong, lahat ng pagkain ay kinakain mo? Yes, ko. Tindrul ko ako ng bata, ako na, wala ng pagkain ang dapat sinasayang. Lalo na kung pinapakirapan na magulang ko yung lalagay namin sa lamesa. Joonel, Aymi, may tanong naman ako kay Christian, kasi kadina na nabanggit niya, na, siya ay isang poet. Christian, baka pwede mo naman pakiligihin ang ating mga televiewers? Magbigay ka naman ng sample ng isang poetry mo. Sige po, ako ilagin tinatanong ang mundo by patulay paring gumugulong. Bakit kamo? Kasi nakikitaan na sa kabataan, parang wala ng gustong matamog.
