CEBU CITY, Philippines – Cebuano model Kyle Dwight Sabinay is back on national television.
The 20-year-old Talisay City native won on Saturday, June 22, in the weekly search for BidaMan, a segment of ABS-CBN’s noontime show “It’s Showtime,” and will now advance to the competition’s grand finals, the schedule of which is yet to be announced.
“I feel blessed and happy that I was given again an opportunity to showcase my talent and skills. I worked hard for this,” Sabinay told CDN Digital.
Sabinay made his first national television appearance in 2016 when he joined in “Pinoy Boy Band Superstar” aired on ABS-CBN. He is grateful that his fans from 2016 continue to support him to date.
“They keep on showing their warm support towards this new endeavor,” he said.
Looking forward for the BidaMan grand finals, Sabinay assured his fans that he will be physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared for it. He will also be attending singing, acting, and dancing workshops to further enhance his talents.
