“Gusto ni Direk ng mga konting mannerisms na maangas. Minsan, nakakalimutan ko pero nadadala rin sa mismong script.”
Jak asked the viewers to watch out how his character will develop.
“Di ba, criminology, pero noong nalaman namin na may problema sa pulisya, parang nababayaran, na-turn off kaming mag ama. Yung tatay ko, hindi na ako pinatuloy sa pagpupulis.”
