But I&#x27;m hoping fingers crossed by March, I will be there,&quot; Rosales said.</p><p>The pandemic may have slowed down production activities in the entertainment industry but demand for content remains high so filmmakers and actors are finding ways to film safely.</p><p>Rosales&#x27;s well-received short film &quot;Basurero&quot; is currently playing in US film festivals, as well as on iWant TFC. </p><p>In it, he plays a fisherman who was forced to dump murdered bodies on the side when their catch no longer could sustain his family&#x27;s needs.</p><p>&quot;My character was based on a real person. I was more interested in the daily moment to moment decisions that he had to make for himself and for his family,&quot; Rosales said.</p><p>Rosales comes from a humble background so playing someone who just wants to provide for his family was something he was familiar with.</p><p>&quot;When I was 14, I was working at a fast-food chain. I was 15 and I became a driver and before I had many jobs like I sold fish in the market. Acting was such a blessing for me. That opened up so many opportunities for me and that opened my mind to like the things that I really wanted to do. I remember myself saying that, &#x27;okay, I think I&#x27;m a the right place because I didn&#x27;t go to the college but this is what I want to do.&#x27; That motivated me but before that my greatest motivation was just for me to just give my family a better life,&quot; Rosales said.</p><p>Rosales hopes Filipinos who watch &quot;Basurero&quot; will be informed, entertained and inspired to care more for themselves and others.</p><p>&quot;I really want Filipinos to know what they deserve. I want Filipinos to know what other people deserve and that for me is education, having access to basic needs, having access to a home, having access to internet, nowadays especially di ba? And we have to care about people</p><p>&quot;Basurero&quot; is being developed into a full-length movie. </p><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mR0x9qbtfk4?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VJlYE4ahbBw?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><div> </div>
