Each of these talented individuals has shared intriguing details about their lives that often remain hidden from public view.
"Gustong-gusto ko talagang mag-artista. Bata pa lang ako noon ginagaya ko si Judy Ann Santos. Tapos everytime na may shooting na malapit sa amin, magpapaganda talaga ako. (I really wanted to be an actress. When I was a kid, I used to imitate Judy Ann Santos. Then every time there was a shooting near us, I would really dress up)," said Kris, who revealed she was a background actor when she was just starting in showbiz, during the recent media conference at GMA Network.
Kris added, "Sa sobrang desperate ko (mag-artista), pumayag na talaga ako maging passserby. Sa background lang talaga ako. Sumali pa nga ako noon sa PBB, pero hindi ako natanggap. So nagtry na lang ako sa Starstruck Batch 4. (Because I was so desperate (to become an actress), I actually agreed to be a passerby. I was just in the background. I even joined PBB before, but I wasn't accepted. So I just tried out for Starstruck Batch 4.)"
Mike shared the exciting news that he had embarked on a flavorful journey through culinary school, where he immersed himself in the art and science of cooking, honing his skills amid the sizzling pans and fragrant spices.
"Hindi ko na sasabihin kung ilang taon ako nun. Gusto ko talagang pumasok sa culinary school pero two years pala ang kailangan. Hindi ko kaya kasi ako lang ang nagsu-support sa family ko. (I won't say how old I was then. I really wanted to go to culinary school, but it took two years. I couldn't afford it because I was the only one supporting my family.)"
"So kapag nag-aral ako, babagsak ang lahat ng work. pero two years ago, finally, pinagsabay ko ang culinary school at showbiz. So after ng taping didirecho ako sa Katipunan kasi andun ang school. Doon ako nag-aral at once a week lang naman ang class namin. So technically, pwede na ako mag-apply bilang cook. OJT na lang ang kulang. (So if I go to school, I will fail in all my work. But two years ago, finally, I combined culinary school and showbiz. So after the taping, I would go to Katipunan because that's where the school was. I studied there, and our class was only once a week. So technically, I can apply as a cook. All I need is OJT)," Mike also said.

Martin passionately indulges in the art of collecting exquisite perfumes, each fragrance a treasure he often discovers during his travels abroad.
"Mahilig talaga ako magcollect ng perfume kapag nag-aabroad ako. Hindi talaga ako mahilig sa fresh scent. Noong bata ako mahilig ako sa scent na luma, musk or leather. Madalas suot ko ay sneakers, shorts, tshirts. Ganun lang. Hindi ako mahilig sa relo. So pakiramdam ko, kapag may pabango ako, pwede na. (I really like collecting perfume when I go abroad. I'm not really into fresh scents. When I was a kid, I liked old scents, musk, or leather. I usually wear sneakers, shorts, and t-shirts. That's all. I'm not into watches. So I feel like, if I have perfume, it's okay)," Martin said.
