In 2018, Siaboc revealed in an interview that his manager took all his money even his condominium prize from PDA. He alleged that his manager Mario had a joint bank account without the singer’s consent. Then, Siaboc added that Star Magic tried to help by starting a dialogue between the two in which Mario promised to return his money and condo. However, to this date, his ex-manager has yet to keep his promise and even ignored the singer altogether.
On the other hand, PDA Grand Winner Yeng Constantino sgot a Suzuki APV and fully furnished, three-bedroom condominium from Globe Asiatique back in 2007. Constantino and Siaboc were alumni of the 2006 singing competition similar to Pinoy Big Brother’s format.
