MJ is currently attending a series of acting workshops to prepare him for more significant roles. One of MJ Gallano’s past jobs was to escort or serve as a bodyguard to rich personalities. (parang need ko na ng bodyguard!) “Karamihan mga gay ang kliente, sasamahan mo lang sya sa bar at kung saan man sya pupunta.
Meron din time, na inuwi ako. Sinama ako sa bahay nya for one night. Alam mo naman yun kung anong gusto nila," MJ recalls.
(ay ewan, di ko sure ano gusto nila!) Income was good but he would encounter difficult situations. “Malupit yung isa. Direktor sya.
Nag-ooffer sya. Pero di ko kaya yung mga pinapagawa nya. Pero pumayag naman sya na di ko na gawin yun.
Kaya natuloy din pagkikita namin.” (ay napasigaw si direk ng action!) Since he would always deal with gay clients, he eventually entertained having a relationship with a transwoman. (ay paano ako bro?!) “Ok naman yun kasi mabait.
Trans sya. Nakilala ko sya sa circle of friends ko. Niligawan nya ako.
Tapos nag-live in kami. Nagkahiwalay kami hanggang sa naging malungkot ang nangyari kasi naging pabaya sya sa sarili nya, nagkasakit hanggang sa namaalam na sya," MJ narrates. (ay wa ako comment sa ganyan!) His life changed when he got into showbiz.
He never thought that he would act in front of the camera but when a friend gave him an offer, he grabbed the opportunity. “Yung kaibigan ko kasi, si Harwin, nag tatalent na sya. Bilang matagal ko na sya kaibigan, sya nag encourage na subukan ko.
Nung una parang wa.
