- TNT’s Noven Belleza admits on buying his own farm at the province to help his family.
- Before TNT, Noven’s family was in the state of poverty and he had to sacrifice his education and become a farmer to sustain his family’s needs.
The life of It’s Showtime’s Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 1 grand champion was not easy.
Noven Belleza is the oldest child and has seven siblings, and so in order to help his parents, he became a rice farmer.
Belleza’s family had a weekly income of only Php1,000 and he had to sacrifice his own schooling for his siblings’ education.
When he joined and won Tawag ng Tanghalan, things have changed a lot. He won a house and lot along with Php2 million cash. And because of that, he was able to invest and buy his own farm.
In an interview, he admitted that if it wasn’t for TNT, he would still be a farming in the province. “Kung hindi po ako pinalad sa Tawag Ng Tanghalan, siguro nag-aararo pa rin po ako ngayon sa probinsya. Araw-araw po talaga naming kayod sa tubuhan para mapunan ‘yung pagkukunan namin sa buong linggo. Malaki po talaga ang naitulong ng Tawag Ng Tanghalan sa akin—lalong-lalo na po sa pamilya ko,”.
He added that even though his farm is still small, he still has plans on buying more land.
It wasn’t a smooth ride for Belleza as he was involved in a sexual assault case last 2017.
Noven is set to perform with other TNT singers at the upcoming TNT All-Star Showdown concert in Araneta Coliseum on July 28.
