When asked why he did not join showbiz immediately, he said it was because he prioritized his daughter, Ellie.
"My first ever appearance on TV I was still in college and I was based abroad so hindi ko magawa lahat ng offers and I was also very reluctant talaga nung time na yun. Hindi ko sure kung anong gusto kong gawin sa buhay and being a young dad din I prioritized my daughter," said Jake.
