The singing seafarer

Manila Bulletin

|

August 21, 2025

Right after finishing his marine transportation course in Iloilo, Jake Villamor took the role of a seafarer.(ay sana nag swimming tayo bro!) But after six years, he decided to leave this profession and pursue his love for singing and acting. (ay pursue kita bro!)

Doing live streaming became his venue for his talent. (kwentuhan and kantahan ang drama!) He got his acting jobs for two BL series from this platform (ay bakit di ako ang partner mo?!)

“Yung friend ko, nirefer ako. sabi nya gusto ko raw ba mag acting. Mag send lang daw ako ng audition video," Jake recalls. (sakin wala ka nang audition!)

Event stylist Badang Rueda also saw his potential in his live performances. (lapitin ng grasya!)
