“Dun po talaga nagsimula lahat ng kung ano ‘yung meron ako ngayon, kung ano ‘yung status ng karera ko ngayon,” he said at the time.
“Talagang sila po ‘yung naging opportunity ko, sila ‘yung naging daan para mabuksan ‘yung [opportunities] sa show biz, so talagang malaki ang pasasalamat ko,” added the actor.
