Kidding aside, he describes the half-Filipina/ half-Australian star as "maganda and matalino," before repeating in jest, "Tapos, nakatira sa Australia! Yun pa din, e..."

But what he likes about Bing Grace (Jas's character in Utol), is that she's not "mahirap pakisamahan talaga."

The people on the set like working with his leading lady, "Napakadali, try niyo," JC says.

OVERCOMING "ONE-YEAR CRISIS" WITH DANITA PANER. Sadly, for the fans of JC and Jas, the former is already taken, while the latter is "bawal pang ma-in love."

His relationship with Danita Paner becomes the next topic.

"Makulay po," he initially says, before stating, "Weather-weather lang. Minsan may bagyo, minsan wala. Minsan, nag-aaway. Minsan, okay."

At first, he doesn't want to elaborate, "Maganda yung pagkaka-explain ko sa kanya sa mga bagay-bagay. Hindi kasi siyempre, nakikipag-deal din ako sa isang baguhan. Marami pa talagang bagay na siyempre pag first time mong pumasok, merong mga bagay talaga na hindi mo maiintindihan kaya, siyempre ako, todo explain din, todo turo."

But during the latter part of the interview, he reveals the usual cause of their quarrels.

He relates, "May mga times kasi na ano, e, na-culture shock siya sa ano... kung paano tumatakbo yung industry natin. Meron siyang minsang naiisip na sana hindi na lang ako nag-showbiz, sana hindi na lang ganun.

"Nasa-shock, e, sa mga pangyayari na hindi niya ma-explain talaga, so, siyempre nandun ako para... Di ba, matagal-tagal na rin ako, di ba, so nandun para magbigay ng extra push para sa kanya. Always being there.

"Maraming tampuhan na ganun... pagdating sa work. Kasi, kailangan mong ituro sa kanya yung dos and don'ts, yung mga tamang daan."

And how does he deal with it?

He says with a pilyo smile, "Minsan, nakakatulugan ko po."

But he's very much aware that most things have to be taught and some learned through experience.

"Yung mga ganyan naman, ano, e, kelangan mo talagang bigyan ng time. Kahit time para kay Jas, e, para matuto. Hindi 'yan matututo kaagad ng isang show, alam niya lahat. Hindi, e. Years niyang matutunan 'yan, e.
