Rocco Nacino renews his exclusive contract with GMA Network
Versatile and highly-talented actor Rocco Nacino remains a loyal Kapuso as he renewed his exclusive contract with GMA Network last Thursday, August 8.
Rocco, one of GMA's homegrown stars, was discovered in the fifth season of StarStruck. After many years of being a Kapuso, he attributes his success to the talent show that discovered and honed his craft, “I'm very grateful that through StarStruck ay na-recognize ako ng mga Kapuso natin pati na ng GMA. It was a season of training us to be the perfect actor and person na kayang isabak sa harap ng camera, sa maraming tao para makapag-perform to be a total artista, sila talaga ang humasa sa akin.”
Present during the signing were GMA Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable; Vice President for Drama Productions Redgie A. Magno; Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara; Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy; Senior Program Managers Ali Nokom Dedicatoria, Cathy Ochoa Perez, and Rocco's father and co-manager Raphael Nacino together with mom Linda Nacino.
He is part of the powerhouse cast of the Pinoy adaptation of the hit Korean series Descendants of the Sun as Sergeant Diego Ramos. Rocco couldn't be any more grateful for this project which is a dream come true for him. "Even though it meant waiting longer, it was worth it dahil I'm very, very happy kung nasaan po ako ngayon. I just cannot wait. Ang masasabi ko lang, excited akong magtrabaho araw-araw, kaya napakaganda ng taon na 'to. People would give everything para makatrabaho si Dingdong (Dantes) and now, I'm living that dream so it's a huge honor for me,” he said.
During the contract signing, Rasonable expressed her delight and took pride in Rocco's achievements, “We are also blessed, all of us here in GMA, na we have Rocco with us. Nakakataba ng puso na makita mo siyang umangat dito sa television and film industry. I can see that he continues to hone his craft, hindi siya tumitigil, kaya masarap suklian 'yung ganoong klase ng hard work.”
