JC Santos shares the secret to his multimedia career: ‘Huwag kayong mapagod magkuwento!'

July 13 ------ After celebrating his 10th year in showbiz last December with over 68 projects under his belt, JC shared how he felt being blessed with work in multimedia in a previous social media post.

He wrote, “I never saw myself doing screen work. Kaya nag-stay ako sa entablado after that. Lumugar ako. I never even dreamed of acting for the screen kasi feeling ko pang magaganda lang ang kamera. Honestly, palaisipan pa rin sa akin ’to hanggang ngayon. But I guess God and the universe had a different plan. Multimedia work is tough. It takes love — real love — to survive it. As for me, I’ve had an endless love-and-hate relationship with screen acting. Pero hey, after 10 years of playing different roles for TV and film… sana naman healthy ang relationship namin.”

He added: “Film and television will always be a writer’s and director’s medium. And the truth is: I’m still here because of great people who believed in what I can offer to their work. And that is enough to keep me going. To keep me inspired. To keep me grateful.”

Apart from acting, JC admitted that he is enjoying venturing into other aspects of production like writing and producing. “Siyempre, focused pa rin ako sa acting. So I’m still learning how to write my own material. Of course, sana laging original material yung na-po-produce ko, na-po-produce namin. I’m also producing a play this month in Hong Kong. It’s titled Job with William Manzano. And I’m also doing something with Bart Guingona again after our play Red. So sana mangyari lahat ito this year or next. And it’s my first time producing so I’m learning here and there,” he told PUSH ABS-CBN in an exclusive interview.

At the age of 37, JC still gets to portray characters way younger than his age, a blessing he considers just a natural part of his craft. He also shared the secret to what seems to be an almost always busy acting career. “I’m always happy kasi I’m doing what I love eh. Just like with theater, I keep coming back. Basta huwag kayong mapagod magkuwento at maraming laging interesting stories. Keep it interesting every time and always share your shame, your fears, to everybody,” he shared.
