ACTOR  John Lloyd Cruz had a bit of trouble explaining why he had decided to leave the network grind, which sometimes would demand a daily schedule, and focus on making movies he thought to be more rewarding. 

Nakakaubos iyong dine-demand ng ganitong trabaho,” he said.

“And bilang creator gusto mong makapagbigay lagi ng something worth their time. And kung ubos ka, medyo mahihirapan kang ma-deliver iyon kasi wala nang bagong laman iyong utak mowala ka nang maibibigay na tingin ko is worth their time. Kumbaga nakakahiya na lang din.” 

He said he needed to take a step back to clear his head. 

Cruz did also admit that he could have planned how he left better and that even with years to think about it he’s still unsure how to best “articulate” why he felt it was the right thing to do at the time. 

What makes John Lloyd happy now?

Wala na yatang mas liligaya pa pagka mayroon kang maliit na anak, na 2 years old na ang kulit. Wala nang kasing saya. Ang lupet. My little savior,” he said.(ABS-CBN
