Jacob's answer is pretty sound, emphasizing that Hollywood isn't the only measure of success: "I think the most important thing to remember is that really, success isn't measured by Hollywood. Hollywood is just really, you know, a buffed up thing that people think is success.

"If you are with people who are just as artistic and who believe in the same things as you that means you are successful. And really, your work will speak for itself and that's what will get you there."

Other Kapuso stars including Ruru Madrid, Almira Teng, Clint Bondad, and Starstruck Season 7 Ultimate Survivors Kim De Leon and Shayne Sava participated in the Q&A.
