Jericho Rosales

Mula sa salat na pamilya, kailangang magbenta ng isda ni Jericho para makapag-

ambag ng pagkain sa kanilang mesa. Kasama niya ang ina sa pagbebenta. Sa
kanyang paglaki, namasukan siya bilang service crew sa isang fast food restaurant
para sa dagdag na kita. Nagtrabaho din siyang personal na driver ng ilang may-
kaya sa kanilang lugar. Nang mabalitaan ang audition ng Mr. Pogi sa Eat
Bulaga noong 1996, agad siyang sumali doon. Mula noon, ito ang nagbukas sa
kanya ng maraming oportunidad sa showbiz.

Jericho Rosales was born on September 22, 1979 in Quezon City,

Philippines as Jericho Vibar Rosales. Echo was a former fish vendor
before he made it big in television screens.

Though he struggled, he was able to reach for his dreams and did TV
shows, movies and endorsements.

Echo said success does not come on a silver platter. "I have had many
challenges," he said.

He told PNA that most of the time, the challenges he had encountered was
about decision-making. "Basically, most of the time, it was about creative
decisions, career decisions I had to make," he said, adding that he had
always included his family and friends whenever he faced challenges.

To be successful, the actor said one needs to define first what success is
for him/her.

"You have to set the bar. Identify your dreams. Then you would be able to
identify the measure of success," he continued.

"If you want to be successful financially, save money, spend less. If you
want to be successful in your craft, then study," he said.

Echo also mentioned that success is not all about having money.
