HOLLYWOOD -- Another Philippine actor is making the jump to Hollywood.

This past weekend, award-winning actor Christian Bables held a signing ceremony with his new US-based agent George L. Baker of ASAP Talent and his US manager Maria Damian of Legacy Entertainement at the Breaking Music headquarters along the famed Hollywood Blvd.

"I am trying to build a career here in Hollywood with my angels George and my Mommy Ma Maria and I’m just so excited to be on board with ASAP talents and legacy entertainment,"  Bables said.

Bables visited Hollywood earlier this year as part of th Manila International Film Festival where he showed his film "Broken Hearts Trip." He admitted that he found the bright lights of Hollywood and the warm reception of the Filipino community inspiring.

"I’m just so happy and excited because pangarap ko lang to before. I’ve always dreamt of having a platform for Filipino artists to showcase what they can. Showcase the amount and love and passion that they have for the craft and I’m just so blessed and lucky," Bables said.

Under this new venture, Bables will be managed by Maria Damian of Legacy Entertainment. The Filipina-American has been producing US concerts for Philippine artists.

ASAP Talent and Baker will be tasked with finding the "Dirty Linen" star some new US roles. 

"We are excited about his already successful career in the Philippines, and we’re even more excited about the next chapter where we are ready to take him to the rest of the world and let the rest of the world experience his talent and energy and we can take him to tv film commercials, print, it’s unlimited to where we can go the boundaries and we just believe in him 100%," said Baker. 

"The opportunity to be able to work here with this amazing talent and actor I couldn’t let this pass up I’m fortunate and lucky to be able to be part of his journey. So we will do this through and through," added Damian. 

Despite this new venture, Bables will continue working in the Philippines with KreativeDen.

"I will never leave the Philippines. I will forever offer my love and passion for the Philippines. I guess this is just me finally embracing the opportunities that I know has been waiting for me. Nag-iintay lang ang tamang panahon and I guess now is the right time," said Bables. 

Shortly after his US trip, Bables returned to the Philippines where he is scheduled to begin taping a new ABS-CBN project in June.
