He was part of <em>Pinoy Big Brother: Otso</em> Batch 1 in 2018 and was introduced as the “hope-pool son of Cavite.“</p><p>After his <em>PBB </em>stint, Seth quickly gained fans&#x27; support and became a sought-after teen actor. His first <em>teleserye</em> was <em><strong>Kadenang Ginto</strong></em> where he became part of the “Gold Squad” alongside Francine Diaz, Kyle Echarri, and Andrea Brillantes. Following the series&#x27; success, Seth starred in a drama series, <em><strong>Huwag Kang Mangamba</strong></em>.

After being part of the Gold Squad, they had their first team-up in Dreamscape’s revenge drama series, <strong><em>Dirty Linen</em></strong>.</p><p>According to Seth, his team-up with Francine contributes a lot for him as an actor. He shared, “<em>Masasabi ko na si</em> Francine <em>ay napaka suportado sa akin</em>. 100% <em>siya nagbu</em>-boost<em> lagi nu’ng pagiging ako</em>, <em>pagiging aktor ko.</em> <em>Lagi niya ako kinu-c</em>omplement.”</p><p>“<em>Nag</em>-work ’<em>yung pagtatrabaho naming dalawa</em>. <em>’Tsaka</em>, <em>sobra niya akong tinulungan.</em> <em>Sobrang</em> concerned <em>siya sa damit ko</em>, <em>sa itsura ko</em>,” he added, paying tribute to his leading lady.</p><p>Francine and Seth, together known as FranSeth, even starred in Ace Banzuelo&#x27;s music video for the hit song “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLCH_ZWVATI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Muli</strong></a>.“</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CdqJDvNBo46/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A19866738.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CfgJG8Cu6Ht/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A20111251.299999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The two made their movie debut as a love team last year at the <strong>50th Metro Manila Film Festival </strong>with their entry, <strong><em>My Future You</em></strong><em></em><em></em>,<em></em><em></em><strong><em> </em></strong>directed by Crisanto Aquino. “<em>Hindi namin ginawa ’tong pelikula dahil trabaho lang namin.</em> <em>Isinapuso namin ’yung buong pelikula</em>,” Seth said. With his notable portrayal in this MMFF entry, Seth received the <strong>Breakthrough Performance</strong> award and the Best Actor nomination.</p><p>How has this recognition changed his career? He answered, “<em>Sobrang napakalaking bagay at nakakatakot kasi dapat sa susunod</em>, <em>hindi na</em> breakthrough. <em>Pero na</em>-<em>pre</em>-pressure<em> po ako kasi may mga</em> comment <em>’yung mga tao</em>, <em>nakabasa po ako na</em>, <em>ganyan-ganyan</em>, <em>sana ganito-ganito sa susunod</em>. So, <em>natutuwa ako</em>, <em>pero</em> at the same time <em>rin</em>, <em>kinakabahan ako</em>. <em>Kasi paano kung hindi naman laging</em> best <em>e</em>.” Despite the pressure, Seth aims to be better each time. For him, learning never stops.</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CubyCWvhwKq/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A20377032.60000001%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-11" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx2ZgUcuW3E/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A11%2C%22os%22%3A20430778.700000003%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-11" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-13" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DALPkqYhwE7/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A13%2C%22os%22%3A20479692.799999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="722" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-13" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>After bagging an award from MMFF, Seth is ready to do more and give more as an actor. For him, looking up to the ones before him and learning from some iconic films could help make him better in his craft. “<em>Mahilig po akong manood</em>, <em>lalo na ’pag nasa bahay ako.</em> Movie marathon <em>ng mga sikat na artista</em>. <em>Minsan nga,</em> <em>pino</em>-pause<em> ko pa e</em>, <em>tapos tina</em>-try <em>ko ’yung</em> lines,” he shared.</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-15" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB0wPxmS8UC/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A15%2C%22os%22%3A20782651.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-15" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Fans have seen Seth in romance, drama, and romantic-comedies as the kind-hearted boy, a good soul, but he’d like to challenge his capacity and versatility with a bad boy role. He described, “<em>Gusto ko rin masubukan ang</em> bad boy. <em>Kasi kadalasang nagagawa kong</em> role, <em>mabait</em>, <em>anak ni ganyan</em>. So, <em>gusto ko namang maranasan ’yung</em> challenge <em>para sa akin na paano ako</em>, <em>’yung maginoo pero</em>… <em>ano kaya itsura ko kapag dinagdagan ko ng konting angas ’yung isang karakte</em><em>r</em>?”</p><p>He also expressed his desire for doing an action project but he’d like to take his time before diving into an opportunity like that. He explained, “<em>Gusto ko muna siyang simulan sa maliit</em>. <em>Gusto ko munang matutunan</em>. <em>Kasi mahirap ang</em> action <em>e</em>, <em>nakakapagod</em>, <em>hindi maiiwasang masaktan</em>. So, <em>‘yun ang gusto ko rin pag-aralan o unti-untiin</em>.<em>”</em></p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-17" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CVIaT7uQ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A17%2C%22os%22%3A21077666.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-17" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Seth has come a long way, but it won‘t be long until his next big project.
