First Pinoy Sole Survivor JC Tiuseco appeared in Showbiz Central last Sunday, December 14, to talk about his experiences in Koh Tarutao island in Thailand. He was mainly asked by host John "Sweet" Lapus about his strategies to win the 39-day challenge as a castaway in Survivor Philippines.
One notable move that he did during the competition was voting out his former ally Jace Flores. The 23-year-old college basketball player said that everything is okay between him and Jace, whom he considers as one of the castaways closest to him.
JC explained, "Nagpapasalamat ako kay Jace kasi naiintindihan niya ang move ko na i-vote out siya kasi, either way, magiging traydor din ako. Kung siya ang pinili ko, traydor ako sa Naak. Siyempre, tribe ko ang Naak, so kailangan protektahan ko ang tribe ko."
Rob Sy won in the last Immunity Challenge. Did JC ever think that Rob might vote him out in favor of Charisse Yacapin?
"Siyempre, pumapasok din sa isip ko 'yon, pero matagal na kaming nag-usap ni Rob, e. Noong pagkatanggal pa lang ni Kiko, nag-usap na kami na alliance kami hanggang sa dulo," JC replied.
JC doesn't consider this as a wrong move for his Naak tribemate. He was also thankful that Rob kept his word in keeping their tribe until their last day on the island.
He added, "Sabi niya naman hindi niya pinagsisisihan ang desisyon niya kasi, 'yon nga, may usapan kami. So, sobrang thankful din ako sa kanya, e."
But with all his strategies during the game, which of these bothered him much?
"'Yong kay Jace, kasi umpisa pa lang alliance na kami ni Jace. Kailangan ko siyang i-vote out, e," JC said.
Right now, JC is busy with his guest appearances on different GMA-7 shows and is enjoying the title that he got from Survivor Philippines. Does he have any plan of joining showbiz?
His short answer: "Siyempre, kung may opportunity, kung may project."
Given a chance, JC would like to be paired with Heart Evangelista.
