Joshua Garcia tops PEP Best Bets 2024 under A-listers category

Joshua Garcia is enjoying the ride.

The man is 26, a charmer, at six-feet fairly tall beside his contemporaries, and quite handsome by leading-men standards. But here’s his calling card: the man is handsomer than anyone in the room when he flashes that smile.

Joshua stepped into the world of showbiz at 16, when he auditioned for the 2014 edition of CBN’s reality show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB). It’s been ten years.

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in an April 3, 2024 interview at PEP headquarters asks him whether it feels like he’s been around a long time.

Joshua Garcia answers: “Matagal na parang hindi.”

He says there was a stage in the waiting game when the days felt long: “Siyempre, yung time na parang pinapatunayan mo pa yung sarili mo, kailangan mo ng mga project na gagawin.”

Then there came a time when the days seemed to go faster: “Pero nung nagkakatrabaho na, medyo bumilis na rin.

“Hindi mo na napapansin na tapos na yung taon. Tapos nag-pandemic pa, ilang taon din kinuha sa atin. So, hindi ko rin naramdaman.”

In the here and now, he says, upbeat: “Ini-enjoy ko lang yung ride. Saya din ng journey dito sa industry, e.”
