Prats (@johnprats)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><p>Sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News, aminado ang aktor na hirap siyang balansehin ang kaniyang oras hindi lamang sa pag-aarte at pagdidirek kundi pati sa pagiging ama sa kanyang mga anak. </p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s really hard. Siyempre I have to balance not just ‘<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><u><strong><em>Ang Probinsyano</em></strong></u></a>’ and ‘<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime"><u><em><strong>Showtime</strong></em></u></a>,’ but also my time for my family. Because, you know, may bunso pa ako na kaka-one year old lang. So hanggang may time pa ako, like now, I&#x27;m here at home, so I spend it with them talaga,&quot; paliwanag ni John.</p><p>Ngunit para sa aktor, malaking tulong ang suporta ng kanyang mga kasamahan sa <em>Ang Probinsyano</em>, higit pa ang lead star at creative head nito na si Coco Martin, na noon pa man ay suportado na umano ang kanyang pagiging direktor. </p><p>&quot;Ako sabi ko nga, sa buong journey ko rin sa pagdidirek, ibibigay ko rin sa matalik kong  kaibigan, kay Coco... Nung dumating &#x27;yung time na kainitan ng pagdidirek ko sa concert, 2018 to 2019, may mga schedules ako na bumabangga sa &#x27;Probinsyano&#x27;. Pero &#x27;yung suporta sa akin ni Coco, bilang siya &#x27;yung creative head at siya &#x27;yung direktor ng &#x27;Probinsyano&#x27;, kapag may sinabi ako sa kanya, &#x27;Paps, kasi may schedule ako, babangga.&#x27; &#x27;Walang ano &#x27;yun, sige, ako na bahala,&#x27;&quot; pagbabahagi ni John.</p><p>&quot;Sobra niyang suportado &#x27;yung pagdidirek ko, at nararamdaman ko &#x27;yun every time nag-uusap kami,&quot; patuloy pa niya. &quot;Kung gaano siya ka-proud sa akin at kung gaano rin ako ka-proud sa kanya, kung ano &#x27;yung achievements niya. Kasi siya rin direktor, eh. Iba lang. Narrative lang pagdidirek niya, ako non-narrative. So natutuwa kami sa pagkakaibigan namin na parehas kami ng tinatahak. Magkaiba lang ng field na dini-direk but we have the same objective.&quot;</p><p>Sa panayam, naikwento rin ni John kung paano sila nagtutulungan ni Coco bilang mga direktor.</p><p>&quot;Whenever I have a problem with a segment or pinag-uusapan namin &#x27;yung &#x27;Showtime&#x27; ko, may mga suggestions &#x27;yan. Para kaming nagbe-brainstorming. Same thing sa side din niya, kapag din nagka-problema sa istorya, we pitch. Kung ano mang pwedeng mangyari,&quot; aniya.</p><p>Dagdag niya: &quot;So hindi ko naramdaman &#x27;yung hesitations from Coco dahil nagdi-direk ako. Talagang ramdam ko ‘yung pagmamahal niya at &#x27;yung suporta niya.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/12/21/fresh-scoops/hindi-pa-rin-ako-makapaniwala-john-prats-direct-190532"><strong><u>BASAHIN: ‘Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala’: John Prats directs 2020 ABS-CBN Christmas special</u></strong></a></div><p>Ayon sa aktor, na limang taon nang parte ng <em>Ang Probinsyano</em>, nakatakda siyang pumasok sa panibagong cycle ng lock-in taping para sa sikat na serye. Pansamantala umanong magkakaroon ng ibang direktor ang <em>It&#x27;s Showtime</em> habang siya ay nasa &quot;bubble&quot; na inaasahang tatagal ng tatlong linggo hanggang isang buwan.</p><p>&quot;Doon naman sa aspeto na kung ano nang mangyayari sa akin, for now I&#x27;ll enter the bubble for <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><u><strong><em>FPJ&#x27;s Ang Probinsyano</em></strong></u></a> again for this round, and then go back to <em>Showtime</em>,&quot; aniya.</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yun pa lang. Then we&#x27;ll see kung ano &#x27;yung magiging decision ng management kung anuman. Kasi, kami naman, kung saan kami ilagay, we will just do our best,&quot; sabi pa niya. </p><p>Samantala, sa tanong kung mamamaalam na ba ang kanyang karakter sa programa, natatawang sagot ni John: &quot;Hindi ko pa... Wala pa naman sinasabing ganun.&quot;</p><p>Kasalukuyang napapanood si John bilang si Jerome sa <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><u><strong><em>FPJ&#x27;s Ang Probinsyano</em></strong></u></a> gabi-gabi sa Kapamilya Channel, CineMo, A2Z, TV5, TFC, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant TFC, WeTV, at iflix.</p>
