"Survivor" runner-up Rob Sy feels he's also a winner for reaching Top 2

Walang panghihinayang at tanggap ni Rob Sy na hindi siya ang itinanghal na kauna-unahang Pinoy Sole Survivor sa ginanap na live broadcast ng Survivor Philippines The Finale kagabi, December 12, sa bagong studio ng GMA-7. Ang nakasama niya sa Final 2 na si JC Tiuseco ang nanalo at nag-uwi ng tatlong milyong piso.

"He [JC] deserves it. He deserves it. Congratulations!" ito ang naibulalas ni Rob nang ma-interview siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) pagkatapos ng Survivor Philippines finale.

Honestly, ano ang naramdaman niya noong nagbibilangan na ng mga boto?

"No bearing yung bilang, e. Kasi sa Tribal Council pa lang, alam ko na, e. Nanalo na siya [JC], e," sabi ni Rob, na nakatanggap ng masasakit na salita mula sa walong Jury members sa huling Tribal Council.

Wala ba siyang naramdamang sama ng loob?

"No, no, no! As I've said before, kung sino ang manalo, salamat sa Diyos. It so happened na si JC yung nanalo. So, congratulations. I'm happy for the guy. He deserves it."

Ano ang immediate plans niya pagkatapos ng Survivor?

"I'll go back to the corporate world. I'll go back to the same job," sabi ng sales analyst.

Paano kung magkaroon ng offer sa showbiz, like television?

"If there will be opportunities and offers like that, I'll accept it," sagot ni Rob.

BRIEF REVELATION. Bago pa ang announcement ng winner ng Survivor Philippines ay nakausap na ng PEP si Rob sa backstage. Agad nagpakuwento ang PEP kay Rob tungkol sa kontrobersiyal na pagkakabutas ng kanyang underwear during his stay sa Koh Tarutao island sa Thailand.

"Kasi, we only have two underwear. So kapag hinubad mo ‘yon, lalabhan mo agad. Tapos patutuyuin mo agad. E, hindi ako marunong magpatuyo sa apoy. So, nabutas pareho yung dalawa. Doon mismo sa part ng [maselang bahagi ng pagkalalaki]... Alam mo na kung ano!" natatawang kuwento ni Rob.

Dagdag niya, "So, the whole two weeks pang natitira or a week, butas totally! So, tumatakbo ako...nagdyi-jingle bell!"

Bukod sa naturang revelation ni Rob, marami pang revelations ang mapapanood sa Survivor Philippines Reunion Special, na ipalalabas bukas ng gabi, December 14, sa SNBO pagkatapos ng Ful Haus sa GMA-7.

MORE OF BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW. Sa backstage interview pa rin ng PEP kay Rob ay kaagad niyang inamin na sa tingin niya ay hindi siya ang mananalo.

Ano sa tingin niya ang edge niya kay JC?

"Honestly, I don't see myself as talagang contender," sabi niya. "Kasi obvious naman yung Jury, JC all the way. Pero I always hope and pray na sana mabigyan pa ako ng ibang pagkakataon."

So, hindi na siya nag-e-expect na manalo?

"I don't expect anything at all. Kasi obvious na sa Tribal Council, yung Jury, all for JC. So, okay lang sa akin yun. Kung manalo si JC, I'm proud of him. Parang nanalo na rin ako kasi nakaabot ako ng Top 2."

Aside from JC, sino pa sana yung biggest threat sa kanya sa ibang castaways?

NOOD KA MUNA!

"Kahit yung sa Jury...halos lahat, e," sagot ni Rob. "Kasi ang dating ko sa kanila, traydor ako, e. Kaya kahit sinong dalhin ko sa Final 2, mananalo talaga."

Pero masaya na rin si Rob na si JC ang nakasama niya sa Final 2. Kasi simula pa lang ay napag-usapan na raw nilang tatlo nina JC at Kiko Rustia na sila ang magiging Final 3. Although natanggal na si Kiko, pero natira si JC at nakasama pa niya sa Final 2.

"Yun na lang siguro yung maganda na nagawa ko, kasi nangako ako at tinupad ko yung pangako ko," sbai ni Rob.

May sama pa rin ba siya ng loob kay Kiko dahil noong natanggal ito ay sa kanya ibinigay ang black pearl na nangangahulugan ng instant one vote against him sa Tribal Council? At noong huling Tribal Council nga ay hayagang pinaboran ni Kiko si JC para manalo as Pinoy Sole Survivor.
