Kapamilya star JC Alcantara recalled letting go of a toxic relationship at the media conference for ‘Love Bites’ with the press, including LionhearTV, on September 14, 2022.
Alcantara explained that his previous relationship hindered him from following his dreams of getting into showbiz.
“Mayroon naman, mayroon din siyempre. Sa lahat ng experience ko sa naka-relationship ko, naramdaman ko din ‘yung moment na ‘yun.
“Minsan kasi kapag hindi natin alam na– I mean pumasok tayo sa ganitong relasyon pero sobrang higpit, so hindi natin magawa ‘yung gusto natin. Hindi tayo maka-explore pa ng pangarap natin kasi hinihigpitan tayo.”
He noted that he needed support from his previous relationship before he got into showbiz.
“Akala mo ‘yun na, akala mo susuportahan ka, pero pag tumatagal pala, ay–siguro sa experience ko dati na mas mabuti ng hindi kami tumuloy sa ganon. Kasi, sobrang toxic talaga.
“Hindi ko makuha ‘yung pangarap ko. Kasi gusto ko ‘yung sinusuportahan ako, suportahan kami. Kasi ayaw niyang mapunta ako sa pangarap ko na maging artista before, so hindi niya gusto ‘yun, kasi marami daw siyang magiging kaagaw before.”
As for the audience takeaway, he clarified that his character would help people be decisive with their relationships.
“‘Yung sa akin kasi, parang makakasakit ako pero ma-understand ng mga tao ‘yung pupuntahan ko.
“Kumbaga pag nag-decision ka sa love, alam ko rin kung ano ‘yung pupuntahan kong pangarap. Kasi pag pinagsabay mo ‘yan love at pangarap mo– parang ang hirap pala ng role ko. Kasi, nagpa-asa ako dito di ba? Kumbaga kapag nagdecision ka dapat nasa puso mo na. Dapat buong buo ka na magmahal or kung ‘yung pangarap mo.”
Alcantara stars in an episode of the ABS-CBN and RCD Narratives creation, ‘Love Bites,’ alongside fellow Kapamilya star Shanaia Gomez.
The made-for-YouTube series streams on the Kapamilya YouTube channel starting September 16 and lasts up to November 2022.
