Jeram Lumbab: Throwback Thursday



If you win a title, people expect that you to be conversant, bubbly and self confident ... but not Jeram Lumbab, Ginoong Filipinas 1994. Jeram is Reticent personified, he is quiet and a little reserved. But don't let that fool you. Give him 10 minutes, and he will bounce back like a rubber ball. You will realized later on you are already telling him your little secrets and dark and naughty episodes of your life, your aspirations, or your favorite pizza. He doesn't buy any showbiz hype, but he enjoy the attention.
Jeram Lumbab's Ginoong Filipinas story was quite remarkbale. He was one of the underdogs in the contest, and nobody had thought he will become the winner. After the talent competetion, wild applause and incessant shrieks accompanied his every appearance on stage. How can you fault the audience for being partisan? And for awhile ... the judges feared for their safety, just in case the results, come out differently. Putting it bluntly ... his victory was fueled and steamed by PEOPLE's POWER, shades of the EDSA Revolution from way back when!
