For Baus Rufo, it’s never too late to chase a childhood dream

MANILA, Philippines, July 14 ------ The fun, candid, witty podcaster Baus Rufo has fulfilled a childhood, long-held dream of doing TV. GMA has tapped him as one of the celebri-peeps of the weekend “high-energy” game show titled “The People Have Spoken.”

Baus, eventologist Tim Yap, beauty queen-host Joy Barcoma and event host-content creator Janeena Chan help celebrity contestants guess the popular opinions by sharing their thoughts on various survey questions.

His hosting in the popular podcast, “DogShow Divas,” with fellow content creator Macoy Dubs, comes in handy. It’s a delight to see him do what he knows and enjoys best on mainstream media. “Yes, is the answer to that because I feel like matagal ko na siyang pangarap,” said Baus when asked if he had ever thought of doing TV or ending up working on the small screen one day in a brief chat facilitated by the Kapuso network’s publicity team.

“Tinabi ko lang siya for 10 years, tapos ngayon parang pwede pala siya ulit,” added he. “Parang ni-re-revisit ko ngayon ‘yung childhood dreams ko. So, I think I’ve always wanted to go for it. It just took the back seat for a decade, and now, I get to play again and have fun.” He does, as episodes of “The People Have Spoken,” with Heart Evangelista and Sean Lucas as hosts, have shown. Baus also appears as a host-mate in the weekday morning show, “Unang Hirit.”

Now that the stand-up comedian is living his childhood dreams of being on TV and working for shows, he shared some of his realizations: “It’s never too late… it is your God-given right to live a life that you are happy with (and) that you are proud of. It is ultimately up to you if that is your last shot already. So, up until sinasabi mo sa sarili mo na kaya pa, kaya mo pa.”

Viewers see him work with Joy, who has guested on “DogShow Divas,’ in engaging segments of “The People Have Spoken” and “Unang Hirit.” He said that he loves their working dynamics. “I love it so much. I am in my mid-30s. Joy is significantly younger than me. You know, as somebody who is older, it is nice to know that I am yet to meet some of the most exciting collaborators that I have,” said he. “I say that because maybe, growing up, we were told that in your 30s you need to start settling down parts of your life. But I would like to believe that my best collaborations, my most exciting projects and the best friends I am going to make are yet to come. It’s nice to know that there are still amazing people out there who are excited to meet you and embrace you.”
