Darren, Kyle, Vince’s hot version of “Bahay Kubo” | Gandang Gabi, Vice!

Growing up in the spotlight means having the whole world witness your awkward puberty phase. Darren Espanto and Kyle Echarri know that experience all too well, having started their singing careers as kids, so even their changing voices became part of their journeys as performers. They opened up about this in the latest episode of “Gandang Gabi Vice.” 

For Darren, puberty meant temporarily saying goodbye to his signature high notes. He had to put ballads aside and stick to pop songs while his voice was adjusting, but that actually opened the door for him to explore more song-and-dance performances and discover his love for the pop genre. Eventually, his voice settled and he was able to return to his signature ‘birit’ style. 

Meanwhile, if it were up to him, Kyle would rather not look back on his old performances because he sees himself as a completely different artist now, which is why he reimagined his song “Pangako,” which he originally released in 2018, to show how much he’s evolved as a performer. 

But of course, it wasn’t just their voices that changed over the years. Darren and Kyle also went through a stunning physical glow-up, going from adorable little cuties to certified hotties.  

So, Vice Ganda challenged the boys to perform a hot-and-sexy version of “Bahay Kubo.” Well, the ladies in the studio went wild, as the guests sang and showed off their ‘kaldag’ moves. Vince Maristela was also dared to join in. Sure, he was missing the right notes, but with a bod and moves like those, who was even paying attention to the singing?
