The 15-year-old singer-actor said he is happy to be given the chance to show his acting chops once again. “Actually na-miss ko yung pag-te-taping namin kasi medyo nag-lie low muna ako sandali kasi nag-aral. Pero tamang lungkot lang. Na-miss ko din kasi parang nami-miss ko yung ginagawa ko dati. Nami-miss ko din yung napapagod ako sa set. Pero hindi naman talaga ako napapagod sa set, nag-e-enjoy lang ako. Ngayon, actually may pressure din talaga kasi lalo na ngayon marami na rin kaming mga kasama na medyo new lang sa show. Pero nagtutulungan kami kaya mas napapdali lang, mas napapagaan yung work namin,” he shared during the Oka2kat presscon held last January 31 at the ABS-CBN compound. Although he was visible in various guest and supporting roles over the years, Makisig said he never felt bad about lying low from the limelight. “Nami-miss ko lang ang acting pero hindi naman umabot sa stage na naiiyak na ako. Na-miss lang. Masaya ako kasi lahat kami nabibigyan ng break. Hindi lang yung nag-stay lang sa akin, lahat po nabibigyan so masayang-masaya kami lahat. Hindi ako na-depress kasi ini-explain na rin sa akin nila Daddy na ganun talaga. Tapos andun ako sa parang awkward stage, ganun. Sinasabi rin nila Daddy na napagdaanan yan ng halos lahat ng mga artista. Sabi niya natural lang yan, magkakaroon ka rin. Kaya ngayon medyo nabigyan ulit ng break,” he said. Makisig denied he feels insecure that he plays a supporting character to Paul Salas who is two years younger than him. The two are actually the best of friends off-cam. “Hindi naman. Actually masayang masaya ako kasi best friend ko si Paul dito sa show business. Actually dapat noon magkasama na kami sa Super Inggo kaso parang may changes na nangyari kaya hindi na siya nakasama. Parang isa siya dapat na superhero, kasama ko sila dapat. Pero since hindi kami nagkasama sa Super Inggo, friends pa rin kami, nagkikita kita pa rin kami nung mga bata pa kami. Okay lang. Mas masaya ako kasi nabigyan din siya ng break. Kasi dati group din sila sa Kung Fu Kids kasama si Jairus (Aquino). Ngayon magkakasama naman kami as a group kaya masaya. Masaya siya ka-work,” he explained. The talented young actor said that taking a break from showbiz was a blessing in disguise because he was able to focus on schooling and spend more time with his family after Super Inggo. “Never ako na-depressed. Na-miss ko lang yung mag-acting ako pero hindi ako na-depress. Pag nami-miss yun. Eh ‘di ba may mga script ako sa Super Inggo? Kinukuha ko yung script tapos babasahin ko ibang linya and then i-me-memorize ko then titingin ako sa salamin. Sasabihin ko yung lines ko, ganun. Natutuwa rin sila Daddy kasi sinasabi ko yung lines kahit na nasa salamin lang ako,” he shared. Catch Makisig Morales in Oka2kat every Saturday at 4 pm after Showbiz Inside Report.
