I was first an indie actor, so I also want that more opportunities be given to people in the indies.

I want to give back and show my gratitude to the indies. At the same time, cherish the mainstream projects I've been getting.

I want to balance my projects. Ideally, I'd like to do at least one indie film, a mainstream movie, and a TV series in a year - the best of both worlds.

It's a long process transitioning from indie to mainstream, and it's not that easy because it's a different environment when you are in the indie industry.

I didn't expect people would embrace 'Ang Probinsyano' the way they did during its first year.

People on series are now given a lot more opportunities, sometimes more than film actors.
