Rocco Nacino admits stress, anxiety over halt on house building, gym business

Everyone has been affected by the ongoing community quarantine, even actors like Rocco Nacino.

On Cata Tibayan’s “24 Oras” report Thursday, Rocco shared that he’s been getting anxious since the lockdown started, as it put a stop not only to his acting work but also to the construction of his dream house.

“Nakikita ng mga tao, ‘uy ang saya naman ni Rocco, ok siya, wala siyang problema, may naipon naman siya.’ Pero hindi eh. Behind those smiles, sometimes hindi mo rin alam yung mga pinagdadaanan ng mga tao,” he said.

Construction on Rocco’s dream house in Antipolo, Rizal, began two years ago. The actor frequently shared updates with his fans on Instagram.

Had a good meeting at the house before going to taping today for #DescendantsofTheSunPh . Up next, glass panels for the balconies, accent stone tiles for that unfinished wall on the right, and cooking something up with @philergy.ph for the house !! So excited! Okay, time to work! ????????

He’s also worried about his boxing gym business, because it is one of the establishments that had to remain closed.

“Nakaka-stress isipin na paano na ang new normal. Paano kami mag-ooperate? Kailangan na ba naming magsara? Mawawalan ng trabaho ang mga trainers namin,” he said.

“Hindi kami naiiba sa mga tao ngayon, kaya ako nagkakaroon ng anxiety.”

The actor, however, shared that instead of dwelling on his worries, he gets by with the help of his family, his friends, and girlfriend Melissa Gohing.

As a reservist, he also extends assistance to the various projects of the Philippine Navy.

He is also frequently in touch with his costars on “Parekuy’s” and “Descendants of the Sun.”

“It’s more of being there and using your influence para makapagbigay ng pag-asa sa mga kababayan natin,” he said.

“If may hindi magandang nangyayari sa ’yo, you use it to turn something negative into something positive.” – RC, GMA News
