Jason Abalos will finally be taking the lead role in a TV series with Bianong Bulag, an upcoming installment of Agimat: Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Sr. Though an award-winning actor on the indie film circuit (Urian Best Actor for 2007’s Endo) and a familiar face in teleseryes, Jason never expected that he would top-bill a series. “Na-surprise ako kasi unang-una, hindi ko hinihintay kasi ang gusto ko lang tumagal talaga, eh. Hindi naman ako naghahangad na umangat [sa isang project] pagkatapos wala ka na. Gusto ko ‘yung unti-unti pero napapahaba ‘yung buhay sa showbiz.”
Asked if he feels ready to be the star of his own series, Jason responded, “Ako naman kung anong ibigay sa akin pinaghahandaan ko, eh.” He also thinks that the time is finally right for him to take the lead. “Ang hinihintay ko lang talaga ‘yung pinakatamang panahon at palagay ko ito ‘yong [oras sa] pagiging bida kasi ang hirap naman na sasabak ka hindi ka handa.” Having been in the business for five years already, Jason believes that he is fully prepared for this project. “Parang kahit anong ibigay sa akin tatanggapin ko na. Wala nang atrasan.”
Although known as a dramatic actor, Jason says that he wants to try different genres. “Ang sa akin lang okay ‘yung umiikot ka. Nasa drama ka ngayon ‘yung sa Agua Bendita gustong-gusto ko ‘yung ginagawa ko tapos ngayon naman action. Kung ano ‘yung nagawa ng mga artista dati pa gusto ko rin gawin. Ang sarap isipin na, ‘Uy nakagawa rin ako ng ganyan,’” he related.
Jason says he also feels privileged to be included in the second batch of Agimat actors. “Tingnan mo kung sino ang nauna, at kung sino ngayon ang mga naging kasabay ko. Sila ‘yung mga mabilis umangat, eh tapos ako kasama rin dito. Kaya masayang-masaya ako kasi unang-una, isa itong karangalan na mabigyan ng isang series ng Agimat,” he stressed. Aside from Jason, the other actors in the second batch include Enchong Dee, Ejay Falcon, and Jolo Revilla.
