As ‘Lumuhod Ka sa Lupa’ enters its final four weeks on TV5, lead actor Kiko Estrada is taking a moment to reflect on his long journey back to the spotlight—revealing it took 12 years before landing another major project.
During the show’s farewell press conference, the 32-year-old actor candidly shared his past struggles and the emotional weight of finally being given a chance to lead.
“I thought I was worthless, but they gave me a chance—and they were all great to work with me,” Estrada said, thanking his co-stars, production team, directors, and producers for believing in him.
The action-drama series, based on the work of Carlo J. Caparas, has been a breakout moment for Estrada, earning him praise from co-actors like Sid Lucero and Gardo Versoza for his passion, discipline, and on-screen intensity.
But for Estrada, ‘Lumuhod Ka sa Lupa’ is just the beginning.
“I promise you, the next one—no mistakes. The next one, wait for it. I promise,” he teased, hinting at another upcoming role that he believes will be his best yet.
He added that his current work served as a “trial and training ground” for what’s to come, fueling anticipation from fans eager to see his continued growth.
With momentum building and endorsements from industry veterans who even joke about passing iconic roles like ‘Machete’ to him, Estrada seems poised for a major second wind in his career—this time, stronger and more confident than ever.
