It starts with acceptance, knowing that you are unique and knowing that there&#x27;s only one you. You don&#x27;t have to change yourself at all, everyone is their own person,&quot; he added. </p><p>Dyogi for his part, reassured Estrada and explained that people are drawn to him not only because of his looks.<br/> <br/>&quot;Go beyond the looks and the physical. &#x27;Yung looks, &#x27;yung physical, that will only take you so far. But eventually, as you learned in &#x27;PBB,&#x27; it&#x27;s your character, it&#x27;s something behind the face,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;What&#x27;s in you, &#x27;yun &#x27;yung people would appreciate. I think people have accepted you for your weaknesses or &#x27;flaws,&#x27; or something that you thought you didn&#x27;t like about yourself,&quot; he added.</p><p>Estrada and his love team partner, Alexa Ilacad, are set to star in an upcoming series.</p><p>The two are currently part of the musical &quot;Walang Aray&quot; at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City. </p><p>Related video:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FJPg9YiK-Qk?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
