Catapulted into the spotlight after landing second
place in “Pilipinas Got Talent’s” third season, Khalil Ramos feels very blessed
to have gotten the role of Kiko in primetime teleserye “Princess and I” in the
short time he is in showbiz. He was very thrilled to see his face every day on
TV and in the primetime slot nonetheless. Although he is thankful to have
broken into the world of acting, Khalil emphasizes that his number one priority
is still his singing career. Wanting to perform in front of people since the
age of five, Khalil says he wouldn’t mind doing a dramatic show again or an
action teleserye in the future.
Khalil says he felt really challenged with his stint on “Princess and I,” because
aside from it being his first ever teleserye, he was able to work alongside
known personalities like Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Gretchen Barretto
and Albert Martinez.
