MORE ON ALI FORBES
grade 6 sya ng sobrang naghirap sila but she still managed to graduate as salutatorian... during her HS hindi siya nakakapasok madalas because their family was really struggling financially.... there were times na wala man lang pangkain si ali and her teacher to helped her na may makain lang yung bata pag recess at para makapasok siya sa susunod na araw (as in nangungulekta for her sa klase).... she has 5 siblings and they are from bulacan... since they are poor and walang pera, hindi sila napag-aaral ng mga magulang niya, kaya pumasok siyang katulong sa malayong kamag-anak niya na who's paying her 500/month. Eh maganda boses ng bata, so she seek for the help of her uncle (malayong tito nya na pinsan ng mama nya) na naaalala nya na may piano o organ... her uncle took her to a piano bar kung saan nakiki-jam siyang kumanta from time to time para mahasa siya, the pianist saw her potential and talent, and the guy referred her to someone who plays in a piano bar sa mga hotels para subukang kumanta sa mga lounges ng 5 star hotels... natanggap naman. So now, nabigyan niya ng vulcanizing business tatay niya at siya nagpapaaral sa mga kapatid niya... she sings in different hotels now and she really dreams of becoming Miss Universe.
