ICYMI: There was nothing accidental about Carren Eistrup’s venture into show biz. For as long as she could remember, the 14-year-old winner of the “Eat Bulaga!” talent search “Bida Next” has wanted to become a performer.
By the time she turned 7, Carren was already an experienced kontesera, joining pageants and singing contests in her native Cebu City. Realizing that she had probably already entered every imaginable competition in her hometown, she set her sights on Manila and tried her luck in television tilts such as “Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids,” “Little Big Shots Philippines,” “Hype Kang Bata Ka” and “Centerstage.
“But the thing that struck me most was people telling me that seeing me onscreen makes them smile,” said “EB’s” new “dabarkad.” As the winner, Carren received P500,000 cash and a new car. She also signed a contract with “EB” worth P1 million. What I got was something that takes other people a long time to work for… It’s surreal,” she said.
Cohosting “EB” has been a blast so far for Carren, who has grown particularly fond of Ryzza Mae Dizon and Maja Salvador. “Ate Ryzza and I have become partners of sorts, so I’m always with her. I was also starstruck by Ate Maja. She’s so good at dancing and is really funny—what you see onscreen is what you get in person,” she said.
