projects that helped boost his career as an actor. </p><p>“<em>Sobrang </em>blessed <em>kasi </em>first of all, <em>naging </em>[part <em>ako ng</em>] Star Magic last year. <em>Ayun</em>. <em>Mga </em>projects<em> ko nitong nakaraan sobrang</em> blessed<em> ko nu’n. Sana</em> this year <em>mas marami pang</em> blessings<em> na dumating</em>,” he said. </p><p>Having worked with Jericho Rosales for the top-rating teleserye <a href="https://entertainment.abs-cbn.com/tv/shows/halik/main"><u><em><strong>“Halik,”</strong></em></u></a> JC shared the lessons he learned from the actors and actresses that he previously had the chance to act scenes with. </p><p>“<em>Bilang artista tapos nakaka</em>-work <em>mo pa ‘yung mga kilala na</em> like Jericho,<em> parang sila ‘yung nag</em>-aadvice <em>sa’yo na dapat maging mabait ka tapos dapat makisama ka sa lahat ng mga tao,</em>” he shared.  </p><p>When asked if he feels pressured for his next project to become a hit, he answered: “S<em>obra. Kasi </em>before <em>grabe</em>. <em>Parang ‘yung Halik kasi</em> trending <em>siya palagi. Tapos ngayon si Darna, ‘yung ka</em>-love team <em>ko </em>before. <em>Pero kaya.</em> Next project <em>ko uli</em>.” </p><p>JC, who had the opportunity to work with Jane de Leon on &quot;Halik,&quot; also shared what he has to say about his former love team partner’s big break via “Darna.”</p><p>“<em>Sobrang </em>proud <em>ako kay</em> Jane. <em>Dati kasi nu’ng magkasama pa kami nu’n </em>about <em>sa </em>Darna <em>pinag-uusapan na namin ‘yung kung makaka-ano talaga siya. Kasi parang hindi pa siya </em>ready <em>nu’n</em> before. <em>Pero sabi ko ‘bagay ka’ kasi magaling talaga umarte si </em>Jane. Well, <em>sobrang </em>proud <em>ako sa kanya</em>,” he said. </p><p>Asked if he still keeps in touch with her, he said: “<em>Oo. Hindi pa ulit kami nagkikita kasi sobrang</em> busy <em>niya. Pero nagkita kami nu’ng</em> last ABS-CBN Ball <em>tapos sa </em>ABS. <em>Sobrang miss ko na</em>.”</p><p>Meanwhile, the young Kapamilya actor admitted that he feels the pressure of dressing up nicely due to bashers criticizing him for what he chooses to wear. </p><p>“<em>Minsan. Kasi may mga ibang namba</em>-bash <em>sa atin lalo na sa pag-aartista. Kasi minsan ayaw nila ‘yung</em> outfit <em>natin. Masyadong baduy. Parang nakikisabay ako sa uso. Chine</em>-check <em>ko talaga sa</em> IG <em>kung ano ‘yung dapat suotin</em>,” JC said.</p><p>JC said he already learned the art of not minding what other people have to say about him — thanks to his friends who are there to support him. </p><p>“<em>Nu’ng </em>before, <em>tinatanong ko kung bakit ako binabash. Wala naman akong ginagawang masama. Hindi kasi ako sanay kasi kaka</em>-start <em>ko lang nu’n. Pero may mga </em>friend<em> akong artista na nag</em>-advice <em>sa akin na dapat ‘wag mo na lang pansinin</em>,” he shared. </p><p>Teasing his next serye with ABS-CBN, he said: “<em>Ngayon ako siguro gusto ko maka</em>-work <em>ngayon kahit na sino ang ibibigay ng </em>ABS. <em>Parang meron din akong bagong</em> project with ABS-CBN. <em>Teleserye din</em>.”</p><p>Apart from a new teleserye, he will also star in a new film based on the life of Dr. Willie Ong. </p><p>“<em>Mayroon akong</em> new movie <em>ngayon ni </em>Doc Willie Ong. <em>Kaya sana subaybayan niyo kami.</em> Part <em>po ako du’n. Kasama ko po si Kuya</em> Hero Angeles,” he said. </p><p>He added: “<em>Yung </em>story <em>niya parang gagawa siya ng </em>movie <em>na ‘yung kikitain nu’n ay mapupunta sa mga tao na nangangailangan.&quot;</em></p>
