JC describes it as an intriguing advantage, allowing him to perceive the world in ways others cannot, yet he acknowledges the unsettling nature of this extraordinary gift.

The third eye symbolizes mystical intuition and insight—an inner vision and enlightenment that goes beyond what physical eyes can perceive. In JC's case, the actor said he could see ghosts.

"Advantage ito because nakaka-observe ka kung ano ang nangyayari sa paligid mo. Pero nakakatakot din because may mga nangyayaring masama. (This is an advantage because you can observe what is happening around you. But it is also scary because bad things can happen)," said JC during the media conference for the horror movie in Quezon City recently. The psychological thriller film starring Barbie Forteza is set to open in theaters on July 30.

JC, 25, recalled realizing he had a third eye when he was a child after a ghost appeared on his brother's face. "Bata pa noong una akong nakakita (ng multo). It was weird dahil sa face ng brother ko nagpakita yung ghost. Umiyak talaga ako. Sabi ko, 'Kuya, may multo sa mukha mo! (I was still young when I first saw (a ghost). It was weird because the ghost appeared on my brother's face. I cried. I said, 'Brother, there's a ghost on your face!)'
