He has been part of the ensemble cast of “Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario,” starring Angeline Quinto in the title role and directed by Marlon Rivera.He portrays Joshua, a stranger who finds temporary refuge and solace in the home of Diane and somehow challenges the sense of community among the people in the compound where Diane is being looked up to as a leader. The movie is now showing in cinemas nationwide.

“Habang ginagawa ko yung character ko (while I was playing him), sobra akong na-a-amaze, na parang kinakabahan din. Part of me may kaba (I felt amazed and nervous about his part in the film narrative),” said Carlo in a brief chat with The STAR after the special screening. “Nung nasa kalagitnaan, duon ko nakikita na teka may diin talaga din yung character (In the middle of the movie, I began to see his value). Akala ko nung una para lang cutie, cutie. Tapos biglang, ‘Wow. OK. Seryoso na. Let’s go.’ (I thought at first Joshua was a cute character. Then, things became serious for him).”
