Apart from being in popular Kapamilya shows like FPJ ’ s Ang Probinsyano and Banana Sundae , John divulged he has also started learning how to become a director .
“ Hopefully next year makadirect na ako ng show . That ’ s my new goal . Two months , I ’ ve been training now sa ABS-CBN with direk Arnel ( Natividad ), so hopefully next year . I want to direct a variety show or game shows , mga ganyan . Matagal ko na siya gusto pero ngayon lang nagkaroon ng parang push . Like when direk Lauren Dyogi asked me to do it , sabi ko ‘ Sige let me try .’ So naenjoy ko siya and Im looking forward to this adventure talaga ,” he shared .
John remarked he is already used to directing his wife whenever they make travel videos . “ Well yung mga commercial namin , kami yung nag-shu-shoot nun , yung mga trip trip namin ni Liv . I ’ m not sure whether I ’ ll be a strict director kasi yung training ko pa naman is like I ’ m training sa ibang show ng nag-me-mentor sa akin na director , so hindi ko alam kung paano pag sarili ko ng show .” ●
