JR by nature is a born entertainer. He had always held a microphone ever since he learned to talk. He loves being in front of the camera, acting and behind it directing, but his greatest passion remains hosting. Other people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths but JR was most probably born with a microphone in front of his mouth! He is a gifted entertainer and has the wit and charisma that capture audiences, young and old alike. The stage and the theatre are his home. He is a consummate actor and a creative director but his greatest passion is hosting.

Since college he has been hosting programs, parties, balls, contests weddings, corporate events, product launchings and movie premiers. He has also been a part of many school and church productions as actor, director, set and costume designer. Although, a business management graduate, he decided to pursue his love for acting by enrolling at the prestigious Repertory Philippines to hone his skills in theatre, after which he re-enrolled for a second degree in college, Speech and Theatre Arts in Silliman University.

As his thesis for graduation, JR, together with a trusted mentor of his, staged a full length theatrical production of the well known children’s classic, PINOCCHIO. For this, he got major reviews and positive feedbacks from his teachers, mentors, benefactors, local dailies and most especially wide-eyed wonder and gratitude from the kids who experienced a magical moment with the blue fairy. In fact, they are being pressured to come up with a repeat performance when he finds the time to do it amidst his busy schedule. JR is currently connected with a major film production outfit but one day dreams of putting up his own.
