Paglilinaw ni David, "Maraming tao. Maraming tao. Maraming tao.
"Tsaka masaya naman sila.
"I think... yung sa Calgary kasi at that time, it was snowing talaga.
"So, siyempre yung mga kababayan natin doon, nahirapan sila, you know, to be... go there to watch us. Which is very understandable.
"And ayun lang. Kami naman, ginagawa naman namin yung trabaho namin, which is to make people happy.
"Pinaghirapan namin."
Yung show nila sa Toronto ay marami raw talaga ang nanood.
Dagdag ni David, "Yung sa Calgary lang talaga, snowing talaga.
"Kasi nga, nahirapan talaga sila. Sa Toronto, punung-puno."
Kumusta naman ang overall experience niya kasama ang kapwa Sparkle artists?

Sagot ng tinaguriang Pambansang Bae, "Well, siyempre nakaka-pressure. You know, si Rayver, pinapanood ko yan nung bata pa siya, sa ASAP, e.
"Bata pa ako, sorry. Dahil katabi ko siya at that time, kaya nakakatuwa."

Na-overcome ba niya ang pagkamahiyain?
Saad ni David, "It makes me think na it will get better.
"I think, sa buhay naman, e, you just have to take the first step.
"And you learn along the way kung paano, how to become better on one thing.
"So, I think, with this... you know, I like dancing and singing in front of people.
"Ginawa ko naman siya sa mall shows, but not to a degree na talagang kasama ko si Rayver at Ruru na very awkward
"Na-awkward ako talaga, 'Bakit ako nandito?'
"Pero, it's a good learning experience. And grateful na naging part ako ng ganung klaseng show."
Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang media si David sa grand presscon ng pelikulang G! LU sa Kao Manila, Newport Word Resorts Manila, Pasay City, nitong Miyerkules, April 17, 2024.

DAVID'S NEW MOVIE G! LU
Masaya rin sa David na finally ay maipalalabas na ang pelikula nilang G! LU, na hapos limang taon nang tapos pero ngayon pa lang mapapanood sa mga sinehan.
Kasama niya rito sina Teejay Marquez, Derrick Monasterio, Kiko Estrada, Enzo Pineda, Ruru Madrid, Katarina Rodriguez, at iba pa.
Sabi niya, "Nakakatuwa na finally mag-showing na siya kasi...
"I think ito yung second movie na shinot ko sa acting career ko.
"Kaya I think ito yung time na na-discover ko, na-realize ko na, 'I can, you know, actually act a bit.'
"So, ayun. Kaya memorable siya sa akin.
"And of course, dito ko naging close si Derrick, si Enzo, si Ruru, si Kiko, si Teejay, dito kami naging close. So it's a nice movie.
"I wish na na-show siya earlier. But of course, with the pandemic that happened, of course, di naman siya...
"Kaya, super excited na finally ilalabas siya."
Perfect din daw ito dahil summer.
Sabi ni David, "Yes, tamang-tama. Ang daming abs niya diyan, si Derrick."
Ano ba ang kuwento ng G! LU?
Aniya, "I think itong kaming lima ay magbabarkada facing and tackling issues, personal issues, from family to friends, to gender even.
"Also to love life. Gender. And love also.
"So, I think, nowadays, yun yung problema ng mga tao.
"Also with, of course, with the mental issues.
"So, I think it's nice to watch a movie na will somehow validate our feelings as humans.
"And of course, meron ding magagandang babae dito."
Ipalalabas ang G! LU sa darating na April 24, mula sa ALV Films, sa panulat at direksiyon ni Philip King.
