He recalled that in the past, he would decline roles, believing he is not capable enough to give them justice.</p><p>“Ang daming realizations. Ngayon, bakit nga naman hindi mo tanggapin? It doesn’t mean you have to be the best right away. It has to be a process. You have to start somewhere. For you to be an expert, you have to be a beginner also. And I don’t think there’s an expert; it’s always a process of learning and learning and learning,” he said.</p><p>That shift in perspective has so far resulted in Bagatsing marking several firsts as an actor, including starring in a horror project via the November 19 episode of “MMK,” where he portrays a man whose relationships are marred by his paranormal abilities.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sIe6wX-qruA?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><p>Bagatsing also became a first-time comedy actor in the sitcom “Oh My Korona!”, and will later be seen in a musical about the life of OPM icon Rey Valera. Early next year, he will start filming the ABS-CBN prison drama “Sellblock” — another new genre for him.</p><p>While Bagatsing is expanding his horizons, his fans can still look forward to him returning to romance drama — a sexier one, he teased — via the upcoming film “Swing” with his real-life partner Jane Oineza. But even that will offer something “shocking” for “RKane” followers, Bagatsing revealed.</p><p>In his interview with ABS-CBN News, Bagatsing also spoke at length about his process as an actor (he’s come by a method that now allows him to “snap out” of his character), being both Kapamilya and Kapatid (with shows airing on ABS-CBN and TV5), and how his relationship with Oineza has allowed them to be more effective actors.</p>

Bagatsing is on track to completing a check list of genres, having juggled several including a musical, romance, comedy, and most recently, horror, in the past year alone.
