As for his character in the TV5 series, Comia Jr. said Niño’s infectious positivity is rubbing him off in real life.
“Looking back, I think pagiging masiyahin po. Dati po talaga, sakto lang po akong tao, nasa gitna lang. Pero dahil si Niño energetic, very friendly, parang nahahawa na rin po ako. Parang gusto kong gayahin ‘yung character ko, kasi ang gaan sa pakiramdam kapag ganon po ‘yung ginagawa. So tinatry ko po siyang i-emulate.”

“Sa mga school teachers ko din po na very understanding sa akin kapag nagpapaalam po sa kanila na kailangan ko mag-absent for one week or kailangan kong hindi maka-attend ng quiz. Ang ginagawa na lang po ay sineset na lang po sa ibang araw ‘yung exam ganyan para i-take ko po sila ng ganyang oras at ganong panahon.”
