"This is the show I watch every week," Sharon said on Discorama, where she said, "This is the show I watch every week." This is the show on which I have no idea how many hundreds of thousands or millions of people watch in the whole country. I couldn't talk when it struck me."

Sharon Cuneta performed "Mr. DJ" in May 1978, a Rey Valera song. Tito Sotto, Valera's producer, wanted to make a song that would be liked by the Radio DJ's and convince them to play her music on the radio.

"Mr. DJ" became a hit on television, and Cuneta was given the name of her debut album, "DJ's Pet" was also included. Cuneta's first Gold Record for this year, as well as her music company Vicor Records, came out with hit records like "Sharon" and "Sharon Cuneta," as well as "High School" with the same level of success.

"If you would do this for me, I would make you a celebrity," Zialcita said. It was a promise made to her and it was a commitment." "The leading man came up."
