At a GMA Artist Center’s Blog-Con, Edgar Allan Guzman also known as EA Guzman shared that he had no issues in his past Network and how he gives premium on ratings.
Guzman, emphasized the importance of it and how it reflects the actor’s motivation when his work is appreciated by the audience.

For him, a show having poor ratings will serve as a challenge to any actor and has to put on extra effort in making it pick up; in return the audience will give credit to the said contribution.
“Hindi man ako bida, supporting cast lang ako, pero para sa akin, ratings is very important kasi dun natin makikita kung tinatanggap ba ng audience ang show mo. Siguro kung magkakaroon ako ng show at maiging bida sa isang teleserye, kung baga, magtetake over ako sa idea na gusto makita lagi ang ratings everyday kasi importante ‘yun. ‘Yun ‘yung bali mo para sa mga tao.”
During the Q and A portion, the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2017 Best Supporting Actor for ‘Deadma Walking,’ he was asked about his decision in shifting to Kapuso from Kapamilya network.

“Self-realization yung nangyari sakin. Di na ako pabata, tumatanda na rin ako. Gusto ko lang magtrabaho ng malinis, walang iisipin, para sakin…
“Gusto ko rin muna ng siguradong trabaho, siguradong buhay, kase nga, 29 na ako, ayoko na yung naglalaro lang. Para sakin this time, gusto ko naman magkaroon ng desisyon para sa sarili ko.”
