He considers his studies a “ground base,” calling the experience humbling and essential.</p><p>He also credits his parents for giving him the freedom to choose his own path. Though they remind him to prioritize his studies, he emphasized that they never pressured him to follow them into acting.</p><p>“They always wanted me to venture into my own little things. Pinapaalala lang nila sa’kin is be humble, remain grateful of what you have, paa sa lupa mata sa langit. They’re very supportive naman,” he shared.</p><p>Acting, however, is not completely off the table. Christof said he remains open to entering the field someday but stressed that music comes first for now.</p><p>“I admire the profession of acting, I admire the art... But, this is my passion and no one can touch me when it comes to my music,” he reiterated.</p><p>Focused on being recognized for his craft, Christof hopes to collaborate with iconic OPM artists like Eraserheads, Parokya Ni Edgar, Rivermaya, Itchyworms, Ben&amp;Ben, and even Ely Buendia or Ogie Alcasid.</p>
