Nikki Valdez remembers an interview she had in 1997 when she was launched under Star Circle Batch 4. She was then asked how she envisions herself in the next 10 years and her reply was about growing old in the industry. Twenty-five years later, she’s still here, under the very same talent management that birthed her star.

In this episode of Kapamilya Chat, Nikki brings to mind her first-ever audition, what it was like being a newbie during her time, and the people who’ve been with her since day 1 to year 25 of her ‘artista’ journey.
