JC de Vera, the proud dad of two girls, is on a personal mission to change the perception of Filipino fathers from being too macho to being more nurturing and sensitive. Through his active Instagram account, JC shares photos and videos of his growing family, showcasing a different side of fatherhood. He is married to Rikkah Cruz and has two daughters, Lana (5 years old) and Laura (3 months old). In a recent media gathering to promote Book 2 of the drama series “Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,” JC expressed his desire to break stereotypes about dads and prove that they are not just focused on work or going out with friends. He emphasized that not all dads are too macho to be involved in taking care of their own children.
JC believes that the previous generation portrayed fathers as tough and uninvolved in childcare through movies and TV shows. He wants to show the softer side of being a dad and asserts that he follows the lead of the women in his household. He also proudly shares his daughter Laura’s milestones with his followers. Coming from a family with more males than females, JC acknowledges that he is learning every day, especially in terms of raising young girls, thanks to his wife’s guidance.
Achieving work-life balance is essential for JC. He ensures that he always makes time for his family, even with his work commitments. He has moved past the stage of vices and gimmicks and finds joy in being present for important family occasions and trips. He even takes his eldest daughter to school when he has no work.
Being a dad has given JC a deeper understanding of emotions, which he brings to his acting. He feels that his experiences with his own children and handling challenging situations as a father enable him to empathize with his characters more easily. For example, scenes that involve taking care of sick children become more emotional for JC because he imagines them as his own kids.
Despite their genuine smiles in the photos JC shares, he acknowledges that his relationship with his wife is not perfect. Misunderstandings happen, but they are supportive and open with each other. He is grateful for their family’s situation and believes that their happiness shines through in the pictures he posts.
In the drama series “Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,” directed by FM Reyes, JC plays the character of Philip Salazar. Philip is driven by grief and a desire for revenge as he searches for the truth behind his father’s death. The show revolves around two well-established families entangled in a complex struggle filled with anger, grief, and revenge. JC and his co-stars, including Jane Oineza, Tony Labrusca, and Ria Atayde, focus on delivering great performances rather than solely chasing ratings.
“Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,” produced by JRB Creatives, airs Monday to Friday at 3:50 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, TFC, A2Z, and TV5.
