The <em>Unbreak My Heart</em> star expressed his desire to remain as forever Kapamilya whom he considers as his second family.</span></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">He was joined at his contract signing by ABS-CBN chairman Mark L.

Alam niyo po sa career ko po bilang director, isang artista lang talaga yung nirequest kong makatrabaho. Ito ay si Joshua Garcia–– he was only a bit player in <em>Barcelona,</em>” the film director recalled. </span></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“But I was very happy that tama pa rin ang aking gut-feel because Joshua did not disappoint,” she added.</span></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/19/joshua-garcia-shares-experience-dubbing-inside-out-2-character-in-filipino-839" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><span style="color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/19/joshua-garcia-shares-experience-dubbing-inside-out-2-character-in-filipino-839" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: </strong></a></span><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/19/joshua-garcia-shares-experience-dubbing-inside-out-2-character-in-filipino-839" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Joshua Garcia shares experience dubbing ‘Inside Out 2’ character in Filipino</strong></a></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Not once did I ever hear him complain about being tired.
