MPL Philippines host Mara Aquino was at The Podium mall and was about to have lunch when she heard someone playing the piano. She noticed that the musician was wearing a Foodpanda uniform.
“I was at the Podium and I was on my way to Manam to meet Ace. We were going have lunch because I was so hungry, tapos narinig ko yung music!” Aquino told SPIN.ph.
“You always hear somebody playing the piano naman. Pero napahinto ako because he had a Foodpanda uniform tapos natuwa ako,” explained Aquino. “ I started watching him, and I was like, oh wow! I waited for him to finish. And then I said, ‘Oh my God, you're so good!’”
The pianist is Bryan Orsal Sajul.
And then Aquino asked if she could take a video of him playing the piano. Sajul started paying Calum Scott’s ‘You Are The Reason.’
“I love that song, You Are The Reason. And then yun, I told him my name. I just said, ‘I'm Mara. Tapos kinuha ko yung TikTok nya,’” added Aquino. “Hindi ko rin na siya in-interrupt because he was playing.I respected his time. Nakinig lang ako.”
SPIN.ph reached out to Sajul and learned that he always loved music.
“Foodpanda rider po ako, bike po ang gamit ko,” Orsal told SPIN.ph. “Ortigas po area ko.”
Accoridng to Sajul, he just loves playing musical instruments but was never in a band.
“Dati po kasi akong member music ministry sa simbahan pero gitara po ang gamit ko doon. Wala po akong banda, mahilig lang po talaga ako sa music instruments,” added Sajul.
“Kapag break time ko po nagpa-piano po ako sa Podium kapag wala pong nagpa-piano doon.”
