<p>After marrying his non-showbiz girlfriend Shyleena Herrera and welcoming their daughter River Altheia last year, actor JC Santos said he had a whole new mindset as a family man going into lockdown last year. He counts his family as his inspiration to be productive even when doing home quarantine for most of the year. </p><p>“Ako may inaalagaan akong pamilya ngayon. Pero, I think ang boredom para siyang bad day. Temporary lang siya. So, it’s not a bad life, it’s just a bad day. So, I think you have to really do something productive. Ang ginagawa kunwari wala talaga akong magawa on other days, kasi lagi kong nire-remind yung sarili kong huminga para hindi ako mag-isip. I won’t stay inside my mind. I’ll stay as a body lang, iisipin ko lang yung katawan ko and everything. Tapos gumagawa ako ng paraan para wala akong choice kundi huminga. Ibig sabihin I do a lot of workouts and I do something productive,” he shared.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/3/29/fresh-scoops/review-jc-santos-and-janine-gutierrez-find-love-d-192531"><strong><u>READ: REVIEW: JC Santos and Janine Gutierrez find love during lockdown in ‘Dito at Doon’</u></strong></a></div><p>The 32-year-old actor said he almost considered switching professions—similar to that of his character Cabs, a delivery rider in <i>Dito at Doon</i>—just to have more steady income.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-march/033021/jc-santos-1.jpg"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-march/033021/jc-santos-2.jpg"/></div><p>“Umabot na ako na na-ba-browse na ako ng motor tapos sinabihan ko na yung wife ko na, ‘Magluto ka, ilagay natin sa garapon, idi-deliver ko na.’ Tapos pumunta na ako sa itigil ko kaya muna itong shooting shooting? Kasi kailangan ko din ng pambayad ng bills at future eh (laughs). Nag-worry ako ng onti. Pero parang isang araw lang naman dumating sa akin yun. Tiisin ko pa kahit papaano. So doon umabot yung frustration ko. Pero yung part na I have a newborn and I’m taking care of her, sobrang nagbago yung mindset ko at saka yung emotional side ko, yun yung good side na nangyari sa akin nung lockdown nung 2020,” he revealed.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/6/20/fresh-scoops/push-x-lifestyle-jc-santos-now-a-complete-man-b-29343"><strong><u>READ: PUSH X LIFESTYLE: JC Santos now a ‘complete man’ because of fatherhood</u></strong></a></div><p>After attending the online premiere of his TBA Studios film last March 28, JC said he is more confident of how it came out. During the film’s virtual mediacon, he also shared which scene with leading lady Janine Gutierrez was most memorable for him.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-march/033021/jc-santos-3.jpg"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-march/033021/jc-santos-4.jpg"/></div><p>“Nung napanuod ko the first time sabi ko, ‘Hay salamat maganda yung pelikula (laughs).’ Medyo natakot ako for a moment pero ayun pala, ang sarap ng feeling pagkatapos. May isang scene na tumatak talaga sa akin, may scene yung frontliner na mom ni Len tapos hindi niya alam kung ano na yung magiging resulta tapos nakaharap na lang siya sa laptop niya at hindi niya alam kung ano magiging reaction niya, hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin niya at wala na siyang magawa, nasa bahay lang siya. Pumunta na lang siya sa balcony. So, I think naka-relate ako dun sa part na yun. What if nga naman, ano maging reaction ko kung meron talaga akong family na nagkaroon or magiging suspect? Naiiwan ka sa ere tapos hindi mo alam kung ano magiging reaction mo,” he explained.</p><p>Watch <i>Dito at Doon</i> on March 31 on the following streaming platforms:</p><p>KTX.ph ( <a href="https://www.ktx.ph/" target="_blank">https://www.ktx.ph/</a> ) </p><p>Cinema &#x27;76 @ Home ( <a href="https://cinema76fs.eventive.org/welcome" target="_blank">https://cinema76fs.eventive.org/welcome</a> ) </p><p>iWant TFC ( <a href="https://tfc.tv/" target="_blank">https://tfc.tv/</a> ) </p><p>Upstream ( <a href="https://upstream.ph/" target="_blank">https://upstream.ph/</a> ) </p><p>Ticket2Me ( <a href="https://ticket2me.net/" target="_blank">https://ticket2me.net/</a> ) </p>
