MANILA – JC de Vera said he feels nervous as he takes on his first teleserye role on ABS-CBN via the upcoming soap "The Legal Wife."
“I am very nervous. As in sobrang scared, pero this is it. Ito na, ito na ang start ng aking journey dito sa ABS-CBN. So I’m blessed,” he said in an interview with the entertainment website Push.com.ph.
“First time kong makasama itong mga ganitong klaseng artista. Until now, ako’y overwhelmed pa rin at ‘yun nga, very nervous pa rin kasi hindi ko alam kung gaano kagagaling itong mga ito,’ he added.
Despite this, de Vera said he is hoping to build a good working relationship with his "The Legal Wife" co-stars, Angel Locsin, Jericho Rosales and Maja Salvador.
“I’m hoping na marami silang maitulong sa akin pagdating sa acting. And happy ako na nakasali ako sa kanila kasi nga magandang experience itong unang show na gagawin ko, kaya very blessed talaga,” he said.
Asked what his role in the series would be, the actor said: “Isa akong boy na longing for love ng mga tao pero hindi ako rebelde, hindi rin ako masamang bata. Naghahanap ka lang ng love from your family, from someone else.”
He said that’s where the journey of his character picks up, eventually leading him to meet the characters played by Locsin and Salvador.
De Vera said he is glad that his supporters will finally see him on television – this time, at his new home.
“Ako naman ang gusto ko lang talaga is to work. At maybe hindi ako naging visible for a couple of times pero wala eh, nandito na ako ngayon eh. Mapapanood naman nila ako, slowly. Makikita nila ako dito sa ABS-CBN,” he said.
The actor said it makes his him feel appreciated that his supporters still rally behind him even after deciding to shift networks.
“Masaya ako na inaabangan nila ako, gusto ko lang sanang maibalik sa kanila, na huwag silang mag-alala kasi aayusin ko naman talaga ‘yung work ko dito,” he said.
