<p>John Prats attributed his longevity in the entertainment industry to the values that his parents taught him.</p><p>&quot;Sa buong journey ko, ang parents ko sobrang laking factor. That&#x27;s why tumagal din siguro ako ng 30 years kasi sila ang mga taong nagre-remind sa akin to be humble, huwag lalaki ang ulo mo, be professional and do your best,&quot; John said in an interview in <i data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true">Magandang Buhay</i> as he celebrated his 30th year in show business.</p><p>Now that he is father and a husband, John remarked that his family is his inspiration on why he continues to work hard in the industry.</p><p>&quot;My kids, sila ang inspiration ko that&#x27;s why I&#x27;m working. Sabi ko nga nung binata ako okay-okay lang, easy-easy lang. May taping okay, kung wala, okay. But now parang mas gusto mong magtrabaho nang magtrabaho for their future, hindi ba?&quot; he stated.</p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZIa3GHVkNF4" title="Magandang Buhay (1/5) | January 3, 2023" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>John continued, &quot;Doon nanggagaling &#x27;yung fire na mayroon ako ngayon is sa wife ko and my kids.&quot;</p><p>In the same episode, John also shared how he was able to enter showbiz.</p><p>&quot;Ako kasi feeling ko aksidente na naging artista ako kasi hindi naman talaga ako dapat maga-artista nung 8 years old ako, si Camille (Prats, his sister) lang dapat.
