The Ilonggo StarStruck contestant, Prince Stefan, says he wanted to meet his dad through the TV show.

The 17-year-old, who now lives in Iloilo, hopes to meet his father through the contest.

Teary-eyed while answering questions from Inquirer Entertainment last week, Prince admitted he made a mistake during initial interviews with the production staff when he said his father was from Israel, which is a Jewish state and not ruled by a monarchy.

He said his mother, an overseas contract worker, had been employed in the household of his father. Via Inquirer.net
