Mitoy Yonting vows to be a better husband this year

The Voice of the Philippines champion Mitoy Yonting is excited about being part of 'Home Sweetie Home' and the changes in his life.

After becoming the first winner of The Voice of the Philippines last year, Mitoy Yonting admitted that 2013 was a very good year for his musical career. “I feel very blessed, hanggang ngayon naman eh. Yun lang ang masasabi ko at nagpapasalamat ako,” he said. As part of the cast of the new Kapamilya sitcom Home Sweetie Home, the talented performer said he is looking forward to honing his comedic skills as well. Mitoy had his first acting stint in a sitcom on another network a few years ago. “Masaya kasi na-miss ko eh. Na-miss ko yung acting, lalong lalo na yung sitcom kasi comedy yan eh. Dun ako dati kay Bossing (Vic Sotto), yung Full House sa kabila,” he shared.

Even though singing will always be his first love, Mitoy admitted he is open to doing more acting projects this year. “Masayahin akong tao. Hindi ka ma-bo-bored pag kasama mo ako. Kung nakatadhana sa akin na mangyari na maging isang malaking komedyante ay mas masaya ako pero meron na rin akong isang experience kasi sa isang sitcom so na-miss ko kaya excited ako na magtrabaho ulit bilang ako, as ako lang, walang role na gagampanan dito, pangalan ko lang ang binago kaya I'm sure sisiguradihin ko na magiging effective yung pagiging isang kolokoy ko dito, para magpatawa at magpasaya ng pamilya,” he explained.

In Home Sweetie Home, he plays the role of a videoke owner in the same neighborhood where John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga live. “Magaan dahil nasa pagkatao na nila yung pagiging masayahin kaya parang angkop na angkop yung sarili ko. Madali kaming mag-ble-blend sigurado,” he said. Even with a regular taping schedule, Mitoy said his regular gigs will not be affected by the show. “Naaayos na yung schedule. Yung taping days namin dito every Friday eh so yung gigs naman namin hindi tatamaan. Hindi ako titigil sa pagkanta, yun ang first love nga. Basta babalansehin natin yan. Babalansehin yung mga gagawin pang proyekto sa mga dadating na panahon. Actually yung comedy pinag-co-combine ko yan eh sa mga shows, sa mga gigs. Meron akong mga comedy acts din pero siyempre more on kanta,” he added.

Mitoy also shared that he will finally get to start working on his first solo album. “Magkaka-sariling album na si Mitoy kasi yung album na pino-promote ko ngayon yung sa The Voice album na compilation ng lahat ng kantang kinanta ko dun sa The Voice. Pero this month mag-sa-start kami as in Mitoy Yonting yun na, may mga bago, may mga revival,” he shared.

The talented performer said that he also looks forward on working on his resolution this year to be a better husband as well. “Wala na akong babaguhin eh kasi binago na ako ng asawa ko eh. Masunurin ako sa asawa eh (laughs). Pero sana mag-tuloy-tuloy pa, mabiyayaan pa ng mahabang buhay para makatulog sa pamilya at sa mga nangangailangan,” he said.
