Katorse star Ejay Falcon told ABS-CBN.com in a recent interview that he is receiving blessings more than he has ever dreamed of in his life. While Katorse is still airing and continues to gain high ratings, Ejay is already set for another project in which he will be paired again with Erich Gonzales. “Masayang masaya ako kasi may bago akong show, 'yun yung pagsasamahan namin uli ni Erich and Enchong (Dee) and kasama namin sila Matt Evans at Melissa Ricks. Tanging Yaman ang title. Kung nagandahan ang mga tao sa Katorse, magagandahan din sila dito at maraming matututunan. Nag-start na kami mag-taping.”

Ejay Falcon admitted that taping for his two shows overlap sometimes and requires a lot of sacrifice but it is all worth it. “Mahirap kagaya ngayon medyo inaantok pa ako,” Ejay said while laughing. “Pero masaya naman ako sa ginagawa ko dati wala akong trabaho pero ngayon dala-dalawa, sobra-sobra ang sarap rin ng feeling.” Ejay also said that it requires focus especially because he has the same leading lady in the two soaps. “Nung unang taping namin ng Tanging Yaman medyo nalito ako kasi siyempre iba ang name ni Erich dun, muntik ko na siya tawagin 'Nene' (Erich's character in Katorse) sabi ko, 'Ay, nasa Tanging Yaman pala ako.” But what helps him concentrate on his character in his new soap is that he can relate to it more than his Katorse alter ego Gabby. “Ngayon ok naman na, kaya ko na and sa Tanging Yaman siguro kasi medyo mas malapit sa personality ko 'yung character ko. Kung ano yung makikita niyo sa Tanging Yaman halos ako 'yun sa totoong buhay.”

Ejay is also very proud to belong in the cast of Tanging Yaman. “Masasabi ko lang maganda talaga ito. Drama and may mga love scenes din. Kasama namin magagaling naaktor sila Ms Agot Isidro, Ate Mylene Dizon, siAte Jodie Sta. Maria, sila Direk Rowell Santiago. Marami kaming mga kasamang batikang artista kaya ka-abang-abang 'to.”

Aside from learning new things, Ejay also shared that having new friends is what he loves about his work. “Dati nagkikita kami nila Matt at Melissa sa ASAP, 'hi' and 'hello' lang walang beso pero ngayon parang naakapagusap na kami masasabi ko na dahil sa Tanging Yaman may mga bago akong kaibigan at mas marami na akong kakilala.”
