Talonding and Bucong with DeGeneres (Youtube, Ellen) |
During Thursday’s episode, DeGeneres interviewed the two cousins, who are B’laan natives from General Santos City. She asked them about how their life changed after their YouTube video became an online hit.
"People started recognizing us along the streets on in the malls. They even recognize us in the restrooms. That's weird," Talonding said.
Bucong added, "Many people do recognize me, especially girls. So it feels awkward when they say that they love me!"
Talonding, 14, and Bucong, 20, then performed live the song that made them famous in the internet, receiving a standing ovation from the audience.
After their performance, DeGeneres gave Talonding a set of musical instruments and $10,000.
The GenSan boys now join the growing list of Filipino talents that have appeared on the popular talk show, who include Charice Pempengco, Zendee Rose Tenerefe, Arnel Pineda, Rhap Zalazar and Fil-Canadian Maria Aragon.
