May pressure<i> kasi parang nahihiya pa ako konti siguro. Pero</i> I think I'll be more confident <i>na</i> during the event<i> mismo. Nakaka-</i>pressure <i>sila kasi yung iba sobrang ganda ng katawan</i> so <i>yun yung kailangan mo habulin o lagpasan mo. Kaya yun yung</i> motivation <i>na kailangan maganda yung maipakita mo sa mga tao, na ma</i>-appreciate<i> nila yung pinaghirapan mo kasi sa totoo lang naman hindi naman</i> <i>biro yung pag-wo-</i>workout <i>eh. Yan yung</i> self-discipline <i>sa pagpapaganda ng katawan at saka sa pagkain. Sobrang laking hirap at disiplina ang kailangan</i> para sa pagpapaganda,” he told Push.com.ph</div><div><br/></div><div>The 24-year-old Moon of Desire actor said he worked hard for the sexier physique he has now. “At first I was shy <i>kasi dati mataba ako</i> and then<i> naging</i> fit<i> tapos tinodo ko lang na mag</i>-workout.<i> Sabi ko, 'siguro kakayanin ko ito.' tapos yun, nakita ko naman na may mga </i>improvements<i> ako sa katawan so naging maganda</i>,” he recalled.</div><div><br/></div><div>To prepare for the fashion show, Dominic said he just continued his healthy diet without any drastic measures that some models usually resort to. “<i>Wala, puro lang ako kain. Hindi</i> joke<i> lang</i> (laughs). Super <i>pinaghandaan ko ito kasi nung una pa lang sa Moon of Desire kailangan kami laging</i> fit, <i>laging</i> workout so <i>hindi namin pinapabayaan na mag</i>-gain<i> ng malaki </i>or <i>mawala yung ganda ng katawan</i>. And then at least three or four times a week<i> akong nag-wo-</i>workout <i>sa</i> circuit training. And then <i>sa pagkain ko hindi ko dini-</i>deprive <i>ang sarili ko sa</i> food. <i>Kumakain pa rin ako ng kahit ano pero</i> balanced<i> pa rin sa mga</i> healthy food like <i>yung</i> supplements<i> ko ng </i>protein, <i>ganun,</i>” he revealed.</div><div><br/></div><div>When asked if he would ever be okay with just wearing a thong onstage, Dominic admitted, “<i>Hindi naman siguro. Ano pa rin, sana maganda pa rin tingnan, yung hindi naman masyadong bastos.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>With his afternoon show <i>Moon of Desire</i> having ended its run last August, Dominic said he hopes his fans will enjoy watching him in The Naked Truth. “This is for them. <i>Pinaghirapan ko ito para sa mga</i> fans and<i> sana manuod sila ng</i> show <i>para ma</i>-appreciate<i> nila yung pinaghirapan ko. Kung may bago akong maipapakita, malalaman natin yan sa The Naked Truth</i> so <i>dapat abangan nila na may kakaiba. Lahat naman kami may mga kakaibang gagawin eh. </i>So <i>nag-isip kami ng mga gimik na puwedeng gawin sa</i> show,” he shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>For his next project, the actor said he is game for anything. “I'm open <i>naman sa lahat ng puwedeng i</i>-offer <i>ng</i> ABS-CBN. <i>Kung ano yung ipapagawa nila</i> I'm willing to do it <i>kasi kung ano yung bago or kung ano yung hindi ko pa nagagawa mas maganda sa akin yun.</i> At least may<i> naiisip na </i>new projects for me,” he added.</div><div><br/></div><div>When it comes to leading ladies, the Kapamilya actor said he will trust the network to find the best woman for him onscreen. “Actually<i> hindi ko pa alam eh kung sino ba or kanino ba ako i-pi</i>-pair <i>pero marami namang magaganda sa </i>ABS-CBN <i>na puwede maging ka</i>-partner,” he said.</div><div><br/></div>

Dominic Roque admits he is excited to flaunt his body at the Bench ‘The Naked Truth’ event on September 19.
