In his exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, the multi-awarded comedian shared what he learned as a storyteller by doing the film two years ago.
“A storyteller does not rely on dialogue alone, especially in filmmaking.
“There are a lot of moments in the movie where you can feel the emotion kahit walang sinasabi 'yung characters.
"I plan to do a lot more of those in the future,” he concluded.
