Career
Prince started very young in front of the camera, having won the title SM Star Baby 1998 when he was only six months old. The contest was a segment in Brunch, a morning show hosted by Bing Loyzaga and Michelle van Eimeren, aired on GMA Network. Growing up, he has been continuously getting the nods of many whenever he competes for a title in school pageants like being Star of the Night in his JS Prom, Mr. Intramurals, among others. His natural inclination for entertainment is a product of genetic endowment because both of his parents were models and actors in the past. Prince went to many casting calls for commercials and television shows, until he found his niche in GMA Network when he auditioned for Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman in August 2014.
Having only three months of television exposure, Prince was already nominated Best New Male TV Personality 2014 in the 28th PMPC Star Awards for Television, held at Solaire Resort and Casino, and was aired by ABS-CBN. Presently, Prince is an exclusive contract artist of GMA Network[3] and is managed by GMA Artist Center.[4][5] He was seen on TV shows Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman, where he first showed his singing, hosting, and dancing prowess. He finished InstaDad where he played Ikot,[6][7][8] his first character role as a GMA artist.
Prince was recently seen on GMA's afternoon prime Wish I May (TV series)[9][10] as Dave. At present, Prince has also engaged into theater acting, as he is playing lead role in a stage play entitled Aquarium na Walang Tubig, under the direction of veteran actress and acting coach Ms. Anne Villegas of the Sining Pinagpala Theater Foundation.
