The young actor joined siblings AJ and Ace, and their father, Jeric Raval, in showbiz, via the horror trilogy, Pinoy Ghost Tales.
Jeric Raval’s influence on his kids is very evident by the fact that three of them are also trying their luck in showbiz. In early 2020, AJ Raval was introduced to the public for the first time, quickly rising to the top of Vivamax’s sexy stars lineup. Last August, her brother, Ace Raval, also debuted in showbiz via the action-sexy flick, Sitio Diablo. He has 18 children from 14 different women.
Following the path of his siblings and father, JK Raval signed with Viva Artists Agency early this year. During the press conference of their upcoming film, Pinoy Ghost Tales, last December 9, both JK and his father, Jeric, gave their thoughts on AJ’s sexy image. Jeric once again set the record straight that he never supported his daughter’s sexy career, but clarified that he nevertheless trusts AJ and respects her decision.
Similarly, AJ’s other brother, JK, has expressed his intent to never check out his sister’s sexy films. He noted that like his father, he respected his sister’s decisions. He said, “Hindi rin po kasi ako nanonood ng mga movies niya eh. Pero okay naman po siya. Maganda nga ‘yun eh, natetest niya ang capability niya as an actress. At sana magpatuloy na iba’t ibang genre ang gawin niyang movies.”
Their patriarch, Jeric Raval, meanwhile, told the press that his son JK signed with Viva because Vic del Rosario saw his potential as an action star. He furthered, “Si JK kasi, noong pumirma siya ng kontrata sa Viva at noong nakita siya ni Boss Vic, ayaw siyang bigyan ng sexy. Kasi tinitingnan siya ni Boss Vic, ang sabi, ‘ang bagay sa’yo action’. So naghihintay lang sila ng project na action, na bagay sa kanya.”
Being in the industry for nearly three decades now, Jeric has become accustomed to the chaotic nature of showbiz. That seems to have enabled him to guide his children in dealing with the controversies in showbiz. He shared, “Dito kasi sa movie industry, ang sikreto dito, basta marunong ka lang makitungo sa tao, marunong kang makisama, lahat dito kaibigan—ang iniipon dito kaibigan, hindi kaaway. Kung may nambabash man sa’yo magpasalamat ka, kasi pag binabash ka, ibig sabihin sikat ka.”
According to one of the directors of the film trilogy, Pinoy Ghost Tales targets an online release before the year ends. The production also expressed hope to release the movie in cinemas next year.
