Pinoy Pop Superstar 1st Runner-up Bryan Bryll Cruz Termulo visited La Union last July 6 to 8 together with QTV 11 Balik-bayan Show featuring him as tour guide in his second hometown. Bryan did not only see the splendor and uniqueness of where he came from, but also discover many of the untold stories.

With an interview by the QTV 11 Balik-bayan, Bryan believes that he was not a born singer. “Nung bata po ako, sa pagsasayaw ako unang nahasa. Kung may reunion po sa family namin, nag-vivideoke kami at dun ko una nalaman na may talento po pala ako sa pagkanta. Sa inspirasyon na bigay ng aking pamilya at malalapit kong kaibigan, tiwala sa sarili at pagtitiyagang makamit ang aking pangarap, nandito po ako ngayon sa kinatatayuan ko”, the 19-year old balladeer recalled.

Being the grand contender in the Pinoy Pop Superstar Season 3, Bryan has earned for himself an unparalleled feat as one of the new
