Everything was my instinct, my vision, what I wanted to do. But there were people like Cynthia [Roque] of Cornerstone who guided me and gave me the right people to execute my vision,&quot; he recalled in a past interview with ABS-CBN News.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/18/john-prats-and-isabel-oli-s-eldest-daughter-feather-turns-8-1517"><strong>READ: John Prats and Isabel Oli’s eldest daughter, Feather, turns 8</strong></a></div><p>He added: &quot;It was more than directing a concert. It’s like building a relationship with your artists. Being a friend to them. My advantage was I was in the industry. I was also a performer. So I know how it feels to be a performer.&quot;</p><p>John bagged his first project as a television director in 2021 to 2022 in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><em><strong>Ang Probinsyano</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong>.</em></p><p>&quot;When I was directing the scenes, I even edited.
