Now a Kapuso star is seasoned TV actor John Estrada.

He said, “I feel so welcome and excited. Well, it’s a fact naman that I love challenges ’di ba? And as you mature, syempre mas marami kang gustong patunayan sa sarili mo. At dito sa GMA, mas interesting ’yung mix of content. At of course, bagay sa’kin ’yung versatility na ino-offer nila.”

John shared he will be part of GMA’s biggest and pioneering project this year that’s why he did not think twice in accepting the role.

“I’ve never done something like this. Kaya sana, mga Kapuso, abangan ni’yo ito talaga dahil maraming bago sa series na ito.”

Aside from his upcoming project, John looks forward to finally work with his daughter Inah de Belen and other Kapuso stars.

Her gym routines are always featured on Instagram stories. No wonder she is one who many considers #fitspo considering her action-packed scenes in the series.

“The Cure,” also starring Irma Adlawan, Jay Manalo and Ronnie Henares among others, is aired weeknights after “24 Oras” on GMA Telebabad.
