Kapuso actor Rodjun Cruz was not worried that GMA Network would pass up his contract renewed on Thursday, November 4.
“Sa akin, sobrang thankful ako eh kasi love ko ang GMA. And naniniwala ako na love din talaga nila ako. So hindi ko naman po inisip na baka hindi nila ako i-renew or baka kalimutan nila ako. Never ko pong inisip ‘yon, never sumagi sa pag-iisip ko ‘yon,” the actor said during his online media interview.
Prior to the press conference, Cruz signed his contract renewal with GMA Network, his home for many years.
The actor also pointed out that the network did not exclude him as he was given a number of projects, with Little Princess being the most recent.
“Actually excited nga ako palagi dahil yung GMA nga hindi nila ako pinapabayaan. Sila ang nagbibigay sa akin ng chance, ng opportunity para ma-showcase ko ang mga talento ko.
“Katulad po ngayon na binigyan nila ako ng Little Princess. So very grateful ako sa chance na ito and pagbubutihan ko palagi.”
His renewal also means he will have the chance to play a role that would finally earn him an award.
“Tiwala din ako sa GMA, s’yempre sa GMA Artist Center sa mga nagha-handle sa akin. Kasi eventually gusto ko rin gumawa ng ganyang role para iba rin s’yempre na meron tayong award.”
Aside from having an award-winning role, Cruz also dreams of having a project together with his brother, Kapuso hunk Rayver Cruz.
“S’yempre looking forward din ako dahil dream ko rin—na kasama ko kasi si Rayver sa Magpakailanman pero wala pa kaming series na magkasama. So isa rin ‘yan sa dream ko na magkaroon kami ng series na magkasama kami ni Rayver.”
When asked what kind of project he and his brother would do, Cruz said he hopes to have an action-drama series with Rayver.
“Dream role ko kasi talaga na gumawa kami sana ni Rayver na action-drama na series. So isa ‘yan sa mga pangarap ko na makapag-acting kasama si Rayver,” hoped the actor.
Cruz will star in Little Princess together with Jo Berry, Juancho Triviño, and Angelika Dela Cruz.
