Ngayong Martes, Hulyo 8, 2025, humarap si Joseph sa mga miyembro ng entertainment media at nagsalita tungkol sa pagpirma niya ng kontrata sa talent management arm ng Viva Entertainment.
Nanibago ang entertainment press kay Joseph dahil wikang Ingles ang ginamit niya sa kanyang pagsasalita.
Dire-diretso at unedited na pahayag ni Joseph: “It’s a new chapter, you know.
"This year marks my 18th year in the industry and, you know, looking back, I started as a model and, yeah, as in I didn’t know anything about acting.
“And, yeah, but through time rolls and hardwork, you know, I’ve come a long way. I didn’t expect I’d reach this level in my career.
“And for that, I am very grateful and humbled.
"And, yeah, this new chapter of my career, I always carry the quote that says, ‘Success happens when preparation meets opportunity.’
“The more I prepare, the more I grow, the more I succeed.
"And, yeah, with that, I am very thankful for Viva Artists Agency for believing in me and for trusting me.
“And, yeah, I am just very excited for this partnership.
"And I am looking forward and ready to bring everything that I’ve learned, you know — eighteen years of experience, eighteen years of passion, of hard work — and I’m ready for whatever it is to come.
“And, yeah, when me and my manager talked about transferring to Viva, it’s a wonderful opportunity, you know, ‘coz when a door closes, a new door opens.
“And, yeah, I am really excited and looking forward for what’s in store for us.”

JOSEPH MARCO ALMOST QUIT SHOWBIZ
Isa sa rebelasyon ni Joseph ay ang muntik na niyang pagtalikod sa showbiz.
“I almost quit showbiz actually,” boluntaryong kuwento ni Joseph.
“I just felt, like, what’s new? I keep on doing the same thing.
"And for some reason, when I stopped and just looked at everything from afar, I saw how grateful I am.
“When I actually came back, when I guested for Batang Quiapo three months ago, I really thought my passion for acting is gone.
"But when I did it, when I was on set and I was acting, I told myself, ‘I was born to do this.’
“It’s challenging but it felt so natural and, you know, alam mo sa sarili mo na okay ito, gamay ko ito.
"Parang feeling mo, hawak mo yung ginagawa mo. And, yeah, na-miss ko talaga.
“And now, I’m at fire [sic]. I am so ready to work again.
"I’m actually preparing right now for a new project and also, I am studying acting.”
