Jason Abalos Admits He Still Gets Nervous In Front Of The Camera

He may have won the much-coveted Urian Best Actor trophy, but young actor Jason Abalos admits that he still feels nervous every time he tackles a new project. He said that he chooses not to be complacent when it comes to acting in order to allot room for improvement. "’Pag naging ganun ka, para siyang magiging aral. Mahirap talaga kung magiging kampante ka eh. Kung mawawala ang pressure sa 'yo pangit na, eh. Kailangan talaga kasi maramdaman mo bawat eksena, at saka lahat ng ginagawa mo. Para sa 'yo dapat talaga ginagawa mong challenging. Kapag hindi mo gagawin 'yung ganon, parang wala blangko lang," Jason explained. He also said that he often thinks of his co-stars, who also work hard on every scene. “Ako kasi parang ayoko ng nagkakamali kasi nakakahiya sa mga kasama ko. 'Yun ang lagi kong nararamdaman. Takot akong magkamali," Jason confessed.

Jason is happy to be able to play a lead role in Eva Fonda and opposite Cristine Reyes nonetheless. "Naging komportable ako sa kanya agad. Wala akong inisip na baka mahirap ba siyang katrabaho noong una pa lang. Komportable ako," he described. He is also very thankful to Jon Red and Franco Mortiz, Eva Fonda’s directors for they have been very encouraging towards him. "Sa Eva Fonda hinayaan nila akong magkamali. Para mas matuto ako. Hindi ako takot magkamali, may tiwala sila."

The Star Circle Quest finalist still could not believe how far a simple barrio boy like him has gotten in the world of showbiz and looks forward to celebrating the holidays with his family. “Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng blessings na dumarating sa akin. May award na ko, may projects pa. Sa ngayon, gusto ko lang makasama ang pamilya ko para makapag-celebrate kami nang sama-sama.”
