He then decided to enrich his skills by studying in New York.
“I was also able to study theater abroad for two years. I've studied in New York for two years, then I came back and then got back into the theater community ulit.

Since he is known to have different jobs in the theater industry, Topper discussed how manages his time among his various roles.
“I try my very best. What I do is at the start of the year, I kind of already know the stuff that I'm gonna do, more or less. I'm gonna do this play siguro let's say this May, May to July I know I have a show. Then September to October, let's say. So, parang I look at the year and I just try to figure out how I can juggle.”
Aside from his theater career, he is also a fitness coach, so he also tries his best to manage his time for his duty for a fitness studio.
“The whole fitness, it's really my job, as well. I've been working for a fitness studio for about five years. It's also like a part-time and full-time job.”

“It's just really juggling everything and just conserving my energy. So I don't say yes to everything even if I want to.”
