Kapamilya soul diva Klarisse De Guzman admitted that despite her 12 years in showbiz, it’s only now that she’s experiencing people screaming her name wherever she goes.

Known as the “Nation’s Mowm”, Klarisse rose to mainstream fame after her stint on “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.”
In her guesting on Karen Davila’s vlog, Klarisse opened up about feeling left behind by her contemporaries in singing contests such as Sarah Geronimo, Angeline Quinto, Morissette Amon, and Charice Pempengco (Jake Zyrus).

“Twelve years na po ako sa showbiz but never ko na-experience 'yong ganiyan, na kahit sino nakikilala ka... hindi ko po inexpect. Usually po kasi kapag mga ganiyang diva-diva, ang nakakakilala lang sa 'yo mga beks, mga mahilig sa diva, mahilig sa singers... so ngayon nakakatuwa po, matanda't bata, nakikilala na po ako, tapos basta blonde feeling nila ako na 'yon,” Klarisse shared.
She admitted feeling envious at times seeing her batchmates on TV, doubting if singing was really for her. Klarisse revealed she was used to “rejections” and being the “second option.”
However, PBB changed her life as both kids and adults now call her “Mowm” or shout “OA!” whenever they see her.
“Sanay na ako dati na ako lang ‘yung kilala ng mga bakla, pero ngayon po, pati matanda, bata, kahit saan ako magpunta, kilala na ako,” she added.
For Klarisse, longevity matters more than instant fame. But the love she’s now receiving makes her feel like a true winner in life and in her career.
