Jason Abalos is gearing up for his biggest project so far as he top-bills the upcoming teleserye Nagsimula sa Puso. As early as now, many are saying that this drama series will be Jason’s time to shine as one of the best young actors of today. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Jason during the ABS-CBN Trade Launch last August 13 at the NBC Tent where Nagsimula sa Puso was unveiled. He said that he is thankful that after five years in showbiz he has been finally given the chance to play the lead on TV. “Sa dami ng artista sa Star Magic hindi naman lahat pwedeng bigyan ng break ng sabay-sabay. Isa isa kaming binibigyan ng chance at ngayon dumating na ‘yung akin kaya dapat lang na ibigay ko ‘yung best ko para mapatunayan na hindi nagkamali ang management. Baka kasi after nito wala nang dumating, hindi natin masabi. Happy ako na dumating sa wakas.”
At the moment, fellow Star Magic artists Jake Cuenca and Gerald Anderson are being called “Princes of Primetime TV” for their performances in the top-rating drama Tayong Dalawa, which led to even more projects for them. Jason told ABS-CBN.com that he never felt envious of Jake and Gerald’s success. “Ni minsan hindi ko naramdaman ‘yung inggit kanino man. Kami sa Star Magic magkakapatid ang turingan namin kaya success ng isa ay success ng lahat. Masaya na akong nabibigyan din ng magagandang projects at nagagawa ko ‘yung dream ko na umarte. Nagpapasalamat ako na hanggang ngayon nandito pa ako sa showbiz.”
Jason proved his top-notch acting skills when he won the Gawad Urian Best Actor trophy for his performance in the movie Endo. Although he already has an acting award under his belt, the 23-year-old actor said there is no need to compete with Jake, Gerald, or any other actor. “Mahirap i-compare ang sarili ko sa kanila. Sila Jake at Gerald malaking bagay ‘yung napatunayan nila sa Tayong Dalawa kaya sila nabigyan ng iba pang projects. Ako naman hindi tumitigil na pagbutihin pa ‘yung ginagawa ko. Hindi pa natin masabi kung saan ako pupunta. Iba iba rin kasi kami ng tinatahak.”
In fact, Jason agreed to play villain opposite Gerald in Agimat: Ang mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Sr. presents Tiagong Akyat. Jason further commended Gerald for seriously improving his craft. “Walang namang problema sa akin na mag-kontrabida ako kay Gerald. Masarap siyang suportahan. Nakita ko ‘yung laki ng improvement niya after niyang lumabas sa Pinoy Big Brother. Kasi siya hindi tumitigil sa pag-aaral. Makikita mo ‘yung kagustuhan niyang matuto. Kaya ngayon ang galing niya sa Tayong Dalawa. Masaya na nakikita mo ‘yung mga kasamahan mong pinapahalagahan ‘yung trabaho nila.”
