Lalo pa siyang nagiging hot kapag, sabi nga ni Vice Ganda... yan ang nagparate sa dugong buhay "hubad, hubad, hubad, baril, baril, baril!" si JC naman "hubad, hubad, hubad, pacute, pacute, pacute!" moments niya hehehe!

But the young actor says he is ready for butt exposures and love scenes with another man.



He was very careful though, requesting his manager to clear the room and leave him and the photographer to complete his most daring project yet. When asked why the sudden shift to the sexy route after exposing skin in two magazines in less than 5 months, JC owe this to his perfect shape. "Na prepare yung katawan ko. Very confident naman ako na gawin kasi prepared ako. I am ready to flaunt," says the actor.

But is this the direction his new mother network wants him to have? "Ever since naman masipag talaga akong mag workout, mag showcase sa kung anong meron ako. Nung lumipat ako sa ABS-CBN, siguro mas madaming naka appreciate kung anong meron ako," he explained further. JC was quick in saying though that there is still limit in his showing of skin saying "Pa sundot-sundot yung mga sexy but not all the time."

Asked though how far can he go when it comes to baring, de Vera said it depends on the material, how his character in a movie is built and the objective of his involvement in a project.  Even if it requires making love with a man, JC said that those are his only rules. "Depende sa selling point nung film. Kung ibebenta ako as sexy, hindi. But if needed talaga siya ng character, kakayanin ko kung hanggang saan ang itatakbo ng role," he said.

"Butt exposure, hindi siya issue sakin. Sa Hollywood naman kasi, yung butt exposure normal lang sila. Pag kailangan talaga sa character, hindi ako magdadalawang isip. Pero pag ang indie film may pagka porn na ang dating, di siguro," he explained further.

JC is also excited that aside from his drama series "The Legal Wife" with Angel Locsin, Jericho Rosales and Maja Salvador, he is set to appear in a sexy noontime soap also on ABS-CBN. With the working title "Moon of Desire", JC is set to work with sexy actresses Ellen Adarna and Meg Imperial. When asked to describe his newest project, the actor referred to it as "sexy and sensual." "Expect nila na madami silang makikita na skin."

Pateros, Cainta, Taytay hope census result could help in cityhood bid

THE towns of Pateros in Metro Manila and Cainta and Taytay in Rizal are hoping that the result of the ongoing census would qualify them for cityhood.


The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) earlier announced that it is conducting census, which started in September. Census in the Philippines is usually conducted every five years.


Pateros Mayor Miguel F. Ponce III said he hopes that the result of the census would yield 150,000 residents for the town to be qualified as a city as required by law.


"We hope and pray that it could be realized," he said.


In 2015 census, Pateros only yield some 63,840 residents.


Earlier, Cainta Mayor Johnielle Keith Nieto said he had formed a technical team to study how prepared Cainta is for its cityhood bid.
