Ian Cabugao’s teenage life was focused on working to finance his daily needs. (dapat kasi nagchat ka sakin bro!) He started out as a crew member of a burger joint in Tanay, Rizal when he was 18 years old. (patikim ng burger mo bro!)
“Nagsimula ako tumutulong sa kitchen, tapos tinuruan ako magluto ng burger. Tapos nagseserve na rin ako at naglilinis. Naging all-around ako dun,” Ian recalls. (serbisyong totoo raw itong si Ian!)
Because of his well-built physique, good looks and charm, he would get extra attention from their customers. “Marami po mga babae at mga bading pero pinagbabawalan ako nung manager namin sa burger kasi dapat trabaho muna at bata pa raw ako para sa mga ganyan.” (malalandi rin ang mga customer dyan ha!)
He tried to entertain one gay customer who promised him opportunities in male pageants and showbiz, but nothing materialized. “Nakipagkita pa ako noon sa kanya sa isang mall, dami nyang sinasabing plano, pero wala naman dun ang natuloy.“ (paasang vakla yan!)
It was one of his friends who eventually brought him to the world of bikini contests.
“Pinanuod ko sila, tapos medyo inaral ko yung mga galawan nila hanggang sa ako na yung sumali, pinalad naman ako manalo.” (patingin nga yung galawan bro?!)
The 20-year-old high school graduate became busy with his bikini pageants and left his job at the burger place. More opportunities came, including an acting project for an indie film. (may suot na bikini o wala?!) But this project was a disappointment for him. (ako kasi dapat kinausap mo bro!)
“Sexy yung pinapagawa sakin. Gay film sya, kaya lalaki yung kaeksena ko. Ok naman nung simula, pero nung tumatagal na yung shooting, medyo nagkakaroon na ng ibang ugali yung direktor sakin. Mahirap ipaliwanag, basta nagdecide nalang ako na wag na lang ituloy," Ian narrates. (so si Ian na nagsabi ng: Cut!)
In his guest appearance in our digital show WTFu, he admits that he still wants to pursue a career in showbiz even if he didn’t like what happened in his very first project. He is more than willing to go daring for as long as it will be handled by a professional production team. (i-handle kita bro!)
“Sa ngayon, nasa mga bikini events ako. May mga nagtatanong rin para sa paggawa ng indie films. Willing naman ako gawin lahat, kahit pa ano ipakita ko, game naman ako dyan, kahit pa lalaki o babae ang kaeksena ko," Ian says. (Ipakita na yan bro, di ako kukurap!)
