(It was a challenge) playing the president, playing the father of these two kids (Grae Fernandez as Justin and Kyle Echarri as Moises). And playing alongside the greats (actors), Tirso Cruz III, John Arcilla, and of course, watching them, Shaina (Magdayao), Aiko (Melendez), they brought so much passion in their work. Ang sarap 'pag kasama ka dun,' he said at a presscon. "So yun lang yung nakaka-challenge every time to come to the set and you have to prepare for scenes."

He added that he was able to learn a lot from the show and was also able to apply it to real life. "Being a father, being a person, being a human being, (and) being a son. I guess dedication to the craft, and being willing to learn and be told what to do. I guess, the attitude is important."

He further cited the younger actors that he was able to collaborate with in the series and shared how they got close while filming.
