He added, “They have gambled on me by putting me on their show, My Husband’s Lover. As a newcomer, tapos first Primetime show ko at sinali nila ako doon, it’s a big honor.”
 

What is next for Tom after My Husband’s Lover?

“I’m really thankful to them for really giving me that honor. That was really nice of them. Sorry if I’m at a loss for words. Hindi ko lang talaga ma-express ang nararamdaman ko. Parang gusto kong sumigaw sa saya,” he shared.
 

The cast of My Husband’s Lover will also be having a thanksgiving concert at the Araneta Coliseum on October 12, dubbed One More Try: The My Husband’s Lover Concert. 
 

“I’m really excited for that. Ngayon sobrang we’re taping lagi na wala na akong konsepto ng mga araw o petsa kaya nagulat ako, pero I know it’s coming soon, so we’re really excited to put on a show,” said Tom.
 

“Sobrang worth it lahat ng ginagawa namin kasi nakikita namin kung gaano kasaya ‘yung mga tao sa pinaghirapan namin, so siyempre kami as performers and actors, mas na-iinspire kami na mas pag-igihan pa ‘yung trabaho namin,” he added.
 

There will also be a My Husband’s Lover tour soon. The cast members will be visiting their fans in different places around the world. 
 

“I heard posible daw na magkatour kami overseas sa US. I’m very excited especially since nandoon ang buong pamilya ko. That’s where I grew up kaya I’m excited na makapunta doon as a performer, hindi bilang estudyante o citizen,” stated Tom.
 

Besides that, Tom will also be recording an album with his on-screen loveteam, Dennis Trillo.
 

According to him, “May ginagawa kami actually ngayon na TomDen album, so I’m really excited for that. We’re really excited, kami ni Dennis na mai-share ‘yun sa mga tao,” he stated.

He is also currently shooting a romantic comedy film with his on-screen wife in My Husband’s Lover, Carla Abellana. The film is entitled Let’s Take A Chance. Tom will be playing Goryo and Carla will be playing Lira.
