On September 22, actor Zanjoe Marudo shared how he handles intrigues and issues in his career during the media conference for his 15th anniversary in showbiz.
Marudo said he made it a point not to do things he would regret in the future.
“Hangga’t maari kasi hindi naman ako gumagawa ng pagsisihan ko. At balang araw magiging issue siya kung maapektuhan man ako bilang tao o artista, or ‘yung mga taong mahal ko sa buhay, hangga’t maari bago ako gumawa ng isang bagay, pinag-iisipan ko muna ‘yung consequences.
“‘Yung pwedeng mangyari pagkatapos. Kasi wala eh importante sa akin ang trabaho ko. Ayaw kong dahil lang sa pagka wala kong disiplina eh, mawawala lahat ‘to.”
However, Marudo admitted that he got affected by negative comments early in his career.
“Sa umpisa, ‘yung hindi ka pa sanay na may mga icri-criticize ka. Syempre sa trabaho mo or sayo bilang tao. And, matutunan mo naman ‘yun. Pag tumagal na parang matutunan mo na kung paano i-handle.”
He then added that he now considers criticisms as learning opportunities.
“Siguro dahil tinatanggap ko kasi ‘yung mga kumbaga kung may issue man sa akin, lalo na sa trabaho ko. Kung paano ako mag-trabaho. Wala akong problema doon kahit i-criticize ako or i-bash ako. Wala akong problema doon kasi ginagamit ko ‘yun para matuto.”
Looking back at his 15 years in showbiz, Marudo was the 4th Big Placer in Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Season 1. In addition, he worked on Kapamilya teleseryes such as Dyosa and Dream Dad.
He received an International Emmys nomination for Maalaala Mo Kaya episode titled Anino in 2017 and a 44th Gawad Urian Awards Nomination for Best Actor for his role in ‘Malaya.’
In celebration of his 15 anniversary in showbiz, the Kapamilya network made a documentary for Marudo titled, ‘Hanep, Kinse na pala! Zanjoe’s 15 years in showbiz.’ The documentary premieres on September 26, 12nn on Star Magic’s YouTube channel.
