Growing up in a his hometown in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija, actor JC Alcantara said he had his own share of being scammed early on in his career by a former handler. “Before sinabi sa akin, before pa yun, nung first handler ko, na pasisikatin niya ako (laughs). Di ba uso yun dati lalo na sa mga probinsya. Eh probinsyano ako. Sinasabi niya sa akin, ‘Pasisikatin kita. Dadalhin kita sa Manila.’ Eh ako namang probinsyano pangarap ko maging artista. Nag-audition ako, sumama ako pero walang nangyayari. Ako naman itong tanga nagbibigay ng pera (laughs). Ang hirap. Sobrang hirap. Huwag mong ibigay yung tiwala mo sa isang tao lalo na pag hindi mo kilala,” he shared during the mediacon for the new season of Click, Like, Share last January 6. <div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/7/3/fresh-scoops/jc-alcantara-on-starting-a-singing-career-hindi-194363" target="_blank">READ: JC Alcantara on starting a singing career: ‘Hindi ko alam may boses pala ako’</a></div>After starring in the series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/hellostranger" target="_blank">Hello Stranger</a> last year, JC takes on another acting challenge in the “Repair” episode of Click, Like, Share where he plays the role of a young police officer named James.“Parang kinasusuklaman ko dito yung mga nangyari dahil sa sobrang galit ko sa tatay ko na nakapatay. And bigla na lang yung hashtag na #Repair na nag-transport sa oras yung mga nangyari, kung ano yung dahilan na totoo ba yung pagpatay sa babae na yun and then dun ko matutuklasan na hindi pala totoo ang lahat and then na-repair ko at dun ako naging malaya at na-forgive ng mga tao. Lalo na ngayon sa internet, pag nag-post ka and hindi mo alam kung ano yung reason, ma-ju-judge mo agad yung tao. Hindi mo naman kasi alam at wala ka sa panahon na yun. Kaya sa mga nanunuod, huwag muna tayo manghusga ng tao na hindi natin alam kung ano yung mga nangyari. Kaya na-prevail na yung truth sa mga nangyari na yun,” he explained.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/6/24/fresh-scoops/jc-alcantara-thankful-for-his-first-major-role-in-29606" target="_blank">READ: JC Alcantara thankful for his first major role in BL series ‘Hello Stranger’</a></div>Playing the role of his father in the series is veteran actor Allan Paule whom JC is grateful to share a scene with.“Sobrang bait kasi ni kuya Allan and iga-guide ka din niya. Yun scene lang namin yung bumalik nga ako sa panahon na nangyari yung sakuna, dun ko lang siya nakabatuhan ng lines and then mararamdaman mo na talagang tutulungan ka niya. Sobrang collaborative niya. Mabait sobra,” he admitted.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/9/11/fresh-scoops/kayo-pa-rin-ba-ni-jane-de-leon-jc-alcantara-re-188124" target="_blank">READ: ‘Kayo pa rin ba ni Jane de Leon?’: JC Alcantara responds</a></div>Happy with the current state of his personal and professional life, JC said there is nothing he needs to repair except for his new year’s resolutions.“Siguro wala na kailangan i-repair kasi sobrang happy na nung life ko lalo na ngayon. Sobrang saya ko. As in God knows na wala talagang problema sa family, sa career. happy lang. Siguro ngayon ang gagawin ko na lang ayoko na mag-promise (laughs). Dati nag-promise ako na hindi ko naman natupad pero ngayon gagawin ko yung dapat kong tuparin ngayon. As in legit kasi sobrang blessed ko this year na sobrang grateful ko na maraming blessings na dadating and kailangan ko din paghandaan kung ano man yung mangyayari. At kung maging ready man ako sa panahon na yun handa na ako,” he shared.
