Avila said she has always been a fan of ABS-CBN while recounting the number of Kapamilya singing competitions she joined over the years.
“Ever since po fan na po talaga ko ng ABS-CBN, sumali po ako ng The Voice Kids, and Tawag ng Tanghalan, and ngayon po Idol Philippines. So I can guarantee po na hindi po ako lilipat. Dito lang po ako, kasi dito ko lang po talaga gusto and dito po ako nabigyan ng chance, so solid po ako.”
She then expressed gratitude for the chance to perform with the premiere singers of ASAP Natin ‘To earlier that day.
“Ako po sobrang thankful kasi hindi man po kami nanalo ng title, pero ‘yung Idol Philippines, lahat po ng bumubuo doon, panalo po kami. Kasi ‘yun nga po nakapag-ASAP kami. Akala ko po na pag-after ng competition, hanggang doon na lang ‘yung journey ko.”
She also thanked the team behind Idol Philippines for presenting her numerous opportunities after joining the competition.
“Pero, sobrang babait po ng team ng Idol Philippines na nilalagay po kami sa ganito, kung saan -saang guestings po. Kaya sobrang pasalamat ko po, na kami po ‘yung nabigyan ng chance. Kasi nangangarap lang po kami and ngayon nakatapak po kami sa stage na ‘to.”
