<p>Zaijian Jaranilla opened up about his journey as an actor, sharing the values that have guided him from his early days as a child star to the present.</p><div><br/></div><p>In an interview with Ogie Diaz, the actor said that cherishing every opportunity is essential. &quot;Pana-panahon lang po kasi talaga &#x27;yan eh. &#x27;Pag para sa&#x27;yo, para sa&#x27;yo talaga. Naniniwala ako dun. At ‘pag andiyan na sa harap mo, pahalagahan mo,&quot; he remarked. </p><div><br/></div><p>The Kapamilya actor relayed some of the key lessons he has learned through the years. &quot;Simula bata ako, parang ininstill ng mga tao sa paligid ko na huwag kang yayabang. Or magpasalamat ka pa rin kung saan ka nanggaling. Tapos kung nasan ka ngayon, siyempre importante &#x27;yun, pati &#x27;yung pagiging makatao. Para sa akin &#x27;yun ang pinakaimportante. Parang ang daming maka-Diyos pero hindi makatao. Mas maganda &#x27;yung maka-Diyos ka na, makatao ka pa,&quot; he stated.</p><div><br/></div><p>Zaijian also highlighted that longevity matters more to him than fame. &quot;Tsaka okay lang kahit hindi ka sikat basta &#x27;yung trabaho, nandiyan pa rin. Gaya nga nung mga sinasabi ng mga beterano na nakakatrabaho ko, hindi ito pasikatan, patagalan dito, longevity labanan dito,&quot; he said.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIDcXcAynqk/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A6139793.6000000015%2C%22ls%22%3A5611773.199999999%2C%22le%22%3A5612273.6000000015%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1017" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>He expressed gratitude for the continuous projects coming his way.  &quot;Thankful ako na ang dami pa rin pumapasok na proyekto sa akin. &#x27;Yun nga sinasabi ko, &#x27;pag andiyan pahalagahan mo, babalik rin kasi sa&#x27;yo &#x27;yun eh,&quot; he said.</p><div><br/></div><p>When asked for his advice to the new generation of actors, Zaijian emphasized the value of respect and camaraderie on set. &quot;Importante talaga &#x27;yung respeto sa isa&#x27;t isa, kahit hindi sa artista, kahit sa mga crew, sa mga P.A., sa utility, &#x27;yung mga nasa laylayan kumbaga. Sobrang importante &#x27;yung pakikisama sa kanila,&quot; he stated. </p><div><br/></div><p>He added: &quot;Importante po &#x27;yung marunong ka makisama, marunong kang rumespeto, maging aware ka sa paligid mo... na maging empathetic ka sa mga tao... Tsaka &#x27;yung maging grateful ka kung ano &#x27;yung ibinibigay sa&#x27;yo kasi ang laking responsibilidad din na kunwari, kunin ka sa isang role, kahit maliit na role lang &#x27;yan, responsibilidad mo &#x27;yun. Kailangan mo pangalagaan &#x27;yun.&quot;</p>
