Manila Bulletin
|September 26, 2025
Actors JC Santos and Zainjian Jaranilla fondly remembered their youthful days when they first experienced the intoxicating thrill of alcohol.
-
Laughter filled their voices as they shared memories of sips from forbidden bottles, the rich and bold flavors igniting a rush of excitement and the warm flutter of rebellion.
Each sip was a rite of passage, an adventurous secret filled with the intoxicating scent of freedom and the thrilling promise of adulthood.
“Hindi ko na maalala kung kailan at ano ang mga nangyari noon pero natatandaan ko yung una kong ininom. M.P. (I don't recall when and what happened back then, but I remember what I drank for the first time. It was M.P.)," said Zaijian during an interview at the press conference of the upcoming movie "The Last BeerGin" held in Quezon City recently.
Zaijian added, "Kasama ko naman yung parents ko noong uminom ako. May guidance sila noon na huwag akong masyado iinom. Pero ngayon hindi na ako masyado umi-inom. (My parents were with me when I drank. They had guidance back then that I shouldn't drink too much. However, I no longer drink a lot.)"
The 24-year-old actor mentioned that he rarely drinks now because he dislikes the feeling of a hangover.
