Joshua Garcia celebrates 12 years in showbiz, looks back on his journey

May 28 ------ From making a lasting impression during his stint as a housemate in “Pinoy Big Brother: All In” in 2014 to cementing his place in the industry, Joshua Garcia continues to captivate Kapamilyas with his evolution as an artist, consistently outdoing himself every time he returns to the screen.

Achieving yet another milestone in his career, Joshua celebrated his 12th year in the entertainment industry last April 27, feeling beyond blessed and grateful to ABS-CBN, and Star Magic for remaining supportive of him until now. He shared, “Sobrang pasasalamat lang talaga, kasi hanggang ngayon ay meron pa rin ako. Alam mo ‘yun? Meron akong naibibigay sa pamilya ko.”

At the Star Magic Spotlight Presscon, Joshua entertained questions from various media outlets, including one about how he now chooses his roles given his growing experience in the industry. While he remains open to any character offered to him, he has become more selective with the stories he takes on. He now prefers material that is likely to leave a lasting impact on viewers, rather than focusing solely on having a strong character for himself.

As the years passed, Joshua took on more character assignments that carried emotional weight. At first, separating his character’s emotions from his own was an obstacle he had to overcome. For him, anger remained the hardest emotion to portray onscreen due to his naturally forgiving nature and limited personal experiences to draw from. Eventually, however, he learned to slip out of his character almost immediately after filming.

Joshua shared that he wants to continue being challenged by the roles assigned to him, whether they lean toward action or drama. More importantly, he hopes to keep telling stories that are not only fresh but also meaningful and relatable to many people. Joshua Garcia teams up with Ivana Alawi for the first time in “Love Is Never Gone.” The Kapamilya series, now streaming exclusively on Prime Video, blend romance and suspense and is the first Filipino series shot in Morocco. The drama spotlights Joshua and Ivana in fiery roles that combine intimate and steamy scenes with thrilling high-octane encounters.
