Following the reunion of the “StarStruck Kids” graduates, Jolina Magdangal took a nostalgic trip down memory lane with them.
On Instagram, Jolina shared some old photos from twenty years ago featuring the adorable kids of the reality talent competition show, including Miguel Tanfelix, Bea Binene, and more. “Nakita ko ‘yung post ni [Miguel Tanfelix] ng reunion ng batch niya. Ito lang ‘yung napost ko pero madami akong pictures nila kasi ‘yun ang unang ‘Starstruck’ na ako nag host, ‘yung ‘Starstruck Kids,'” Jolina began.
In the first photo, Jolina poses with Miguel and Ella Guevara. She also shared a group photo with the young girls of “StarStruck Kids,” including Bea, who is sitting next to her.
Jolina reminisced about how emotional she got whenever someone was eliminated, having come to love the kids as if they were her own. “After ng buong show, wala na akong naging balita sa mga hindi nagtuloy ng showbiz. Kaya tuwang tuwa ako nung makita ko ulit sila kahit sa pictures lang,” she continued. “Talagang ang bilis ng panahon, akalain mo nga naman… 20 years ago na ‘yun. Dream, Believe, Survive!” she said.
In the comments, Miguel and Bea expressed their affection for their Ate Jolens. Miguel replied with three heart-eyes emojis, while Bea wrote, “Awwwww Ate Jolens,” with white heart emojis.
Recently, Miguel and his fellow “StarStruck Kids” batchmates JM Reyes, Paul Salas, Kurt Perez, Gabriel Roxas, and Sandy Talag met up for a mini-reunion. In 2018, they also had a bonding moment together, dining out in Ayala Vertis North, Quezon City.
“StarStruck Kids” aired on GMA Network in 2004, with Kurt being hailed as the Ultimate Male Survivor. Miguel was named the First Prince, while Ella was named First Princess.
Miguel currently stars in the second season of “Running Man Philippines,” airing on weekends at 7:15 p.m. He also recently played Steve Armstrong in “Voltes V: Legacy,” which is being replayed on GMA Afternoon Prime.
