Sobrang overwhelming lalo na yung inakap nila yung first scene namin na tinatry magteam up yung Tim and Poch and at the same time na inenjoy namin ni Zaijian kami pareha. Ako mismo kaya ko sabihin for Zaijian also na sobrang thankful kami and grateful ng pag-akap at sobrang init nga ng (pagtanggap),” he said.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2XcgdPP8PW/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A6644254.399999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="856" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Miggy also recalled how he and his co-star Zaijian, who played Tim, made sure to value their characters and to carefully convey the series&#x27; storyline well.</p><p>“In the process, while doing nga yung Senior High, sobrang iniingatan namin yung story. With Direk Onat (Diaz), sobrang maingat siya sa storyline ng TimPoch. And kami rin syempre mismo, hindi namin binebreak yung chemistry namin ni Zaijian. Sobrang importante kasi,” he stated.</p><p>The actor also gave credit to his co-star for how they helped each other in their scenes.</p><p>“We never talked about it like parang nagakaroon kami ng, how do I say it, it’s an actor thing na parang gets niyo na kaagad yung gagawin without saying kung ano yung kailangan naming  gagawin,” he expressed.</p><p>He went on: “Malaking bagay na ganoon ka open yung co-actor mo. Si Zaijian grabe magbigay so wala akong hinihingi sa kaniya kung hindi kumbaga nagrespect kami kung okay lang ba ganito gawin ko for this scene. Laging may consent.”</p><p>Recalling how they reacted after their portrayals of the characters made a buzz online, Miggy said that he felt a bit of panic to make sure that they would continue to give their characters justice.</p><p>“Panic. Nagpapanic ako ng sobra kasi like parang hindi namin iniexpect. Like sabi ko kay Zaijian,’ Tol ano na? Kaya natin, Tol. Basta kung ano man yung kaya ng character natin gawin natin. Bahala na kung magreflect na sa public’, and it did,” he told the press.</p><p>“Kaming dalawa ni Zaijian, ‘Iblock natin yung noise. Let’s keep on doing this, yung work. Ipakita natin yung passion natin’, which we keep doing the things we love, which is umarte,” he added.</p><p>Miggy also expressed that their characters’ storyline was a good way to discuss it in the mainstream media.</p><p>“With the team up namin ni Zaijian, I think it’s a good placing kasi mainstream,” he expressed.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwfF4vcPLFM/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A6644266.799999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="856" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>The actor also had a fun time as he and his co-stars created a good relationship even after the show ended earlier this year.</p><p>“With the relationship na nabuo namin (sa set) is more of, like what I said sa amin nina Zaijian, sobrang dali namin magkakatrabaho, like walang bahid ng (ano). Like ano siya bigayan in terms of oncam. Bigayan kami lahat. Naguusap kami kung ano ang kailangan, especially the specifics,” he said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/1/12/angel-aquino-masayang-nakatrabaho-ang-mga-young-stars-sa-senior-high-2332"><strong>READ: Angel Aquino, masayang nakatrabaho ang mga young stars sa ‘Senior High’ <br/></strong></a></div><p>“With off cam naman, ayun biruan kami, kain. We usually hang kapag may chance pero kapag onset kami we are usually focus,” he added.</p><p>When asked what he thought of the possibility of the series&#x27; second season, Miggy said: “Ako, I’m game.
