As Joshua Garcia matures in showbiz, peace of mind is now his priority

May 25 ------ Joshua Garcia is aware that his life is an open book since his “Pinoy Big Brother” days. Now at 28 years old, he makes it a priority to protect his peace of mind at all times.

Garcia opened up about prioritizing his peace of mind in a Star Magic Spotlight press con, when he was asked about what he wants to protect, especially since he’s already been in showbiz for 10 years. “Peace of mind — alam naman natin na magulo ang ating industry — relationships, and health. Hindi lahat ng nasa paligid mo ay nandyan para sa’yo,” he said. “Kaya that’s why right now, I’m protecting my peace, mga taong nagpapahalaga sa’kin ng totoo, and myself.”

The actor admitted that he’s also learning to discern which parts of life to keep to himself. “Simula ‘PBB,’ parang bukas na libro ang buhay ko, eh. Wala talagang maitatago.” “And I’m still working on [keeping things private]. Sometimes, wala ka na kasing magawa [kahit gusto mong itago ang ilang parte ng buhay mo,” he continued. “Mahirap [magkaroon] ng boundaries sa work namin eh. Hindi mo rin mapipigilan ang mga tao.”

Despite this, Garcia has accepted this reality for quite some time. He also learned to love the attention. “Kailangang alam mo ‘yun bago ka pumasok sa trabahong ito, ‘yung nandito ka pero nagrereklamo ka. Kailangan mong mahalin ang nangyayari sa mundo natin para tumagal. It’s our job in the entertainment industry,” he said.

Garcia is the lead star of Prime Video’s “Love is Never Gone,” which also stars Ivana Alawi, Fyang Smith, JM Ibarra, Jane Oineza, Jameson Blake, Dina Bonnevie, and Epy Quizon.
