Viewers closely followed the lives of the Pinoy Dream
Academy Season 2 scholars, among them Jay "Bugoy" Bogayan of Ocampo, Camarines
Sur. He was characterized as the comedian of the group since he was always
ready with a witty line or a wacky pose.
But little do people know about the difficult life that Bugoy had to go through
in order to claim the title of first runner-up in ABS-CBN's reality singing
competition. In the October 11 episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya, singer-actor
Mark Bautista will undergo a physical transformation to match the looks of
Bugoy.
Himself a product of singing contests, Mark is tapped to
portray the life of the PDA scholar dubbed as The Farmer's Son. Born in an
underprivileged family in Camarines Sur, Bugoy had to work at a young age in
order to support his studies. He accepted menial jobs such as being a dish
washer and cleaning floors as a janitor so he could have money while studying
Food Service Institutional Management at the University de Sta. Isabel.
The October 11 episode of MMK will also shed light on Bugoy's relationship with
his alcoholic father. Learn how Bugoy was able to forgive his father for all
their troubles in the past.
Bugoy got a new screen name when he entered the Academy: he was baptized as Bugoy Drilon. Now, he is starting to make a mark in the industry with his recognition as the Most Promising Male Performer in the 2008 Asian Star Entertainment Awards. Get a chance to see Bugoy try his hand in acting in the upcoming episode of this drama anthology show.
