There have been reports as well that his self-titled soap was suddenly cut short late last year because of his attitude problem at work. On his part, JM simply apologized if he didn’t meet other people’s expectations of him. “Hindi po ako perfect. Nagkakamali din ako sa mga taping pero that's how I work and kung may mga hindi nakagusto ng pamamaraan ko ng pagtatrabaho, humihingi po ako ng apology. Maga-adjust po ako. I only did that for the best. I apologize kung mayroon man galit sa akin. Siyempre para mabigay mo yung best mo kailangan ka magkamali.”
At this point, JM remains optimistic about returning to acting again. “Kung meron po mang galit sa akin, ‘I love you.’ Kung may batuhin man, eh di gamitin niyo na lang to improve, to show them they’re wrong.”
