Jestoni Alarcon's daughter Angela reveals how her dad paved the way for her showbiz career.
Fathers tend to have a great impact on their daughter's career choices and the same can be said for Jestoni Alarcon and daughter Angela.
In the latest Cover Stories of GMA News Online, the rising actress shared that it was actually her father who served as her inspiration to try entering show business.
She added, “Pop culture na rin became an inspiration to me kasi I really admire a lot of actors and seeing them in front of the screen, it inspired me to really try acting.”
Furthermore, being immersed in the industry at a young age has allowed her to come out of her shell.
“Everyone watches you and everyone has high expectations. But it's also something that pushed me to really come out of my comfort zone to really be the best version of myself and to push harder to achieve my goals in life.”
Prior to entering showbiz, Angela graduated cum laude at the University of the Philippines in Diliman with a degree in Speech Communication.
In fact, after she graduated she immediately started with her showbiz career in the GMA action-drama series Beautiful Justice with the support of her dad.
To prove that, here's one Jestoni's post dating back in August 2019 where he wrote, “Now that she has already graduated, work mode na.
“Double taping today with my daughter @angelaalarcon with the upcoming show 'Beautiful Justice' and my latest show 'One of the Baes' on GMA-7. Abangan. #thankyoulord.”
In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Jestoni also shared how proud he was of Angela for finishing her studies before entering showbiz.
“Natutuwa ako dahil ang promise niya kasi, 'Dad, gusto ko mag-enter ng showbiz after my graduation.'
“Timing naman after graduation nakuha naman siya ng GMA Artist Center, so very thankful naman kami sa GMA makakapag-concentrate na siya.
“Ine-enjoy naman niya, okay naman siya. Mas maganda 'yung work mo, trabaho mo, gusto mo at ine-enjoy mo kaysa napipilitan ka lang dahil pinipilit ka ng parents mo, di ba?
“Ito gusto niya, happy siya!”
