It's always inspiring to be around people na you can learn something from, both on and off set. I'm really grateful I got to work with them.”

Direk Dominic knows exactly what he wants for every scene, and you can really feel his experience when he directs,” he shared. “I enjoyed working with him kasi there's always something to learn, and he also helps you understand what the scene needs. It's a good experience, especially as an actor, to work with directors who challenge you and help you bring more to your character.”
