• Became a talent for some of the biggest tv shows in the country like Home Along Da Riles, Bida si Mister Bida si Misis, Basta’t Kasama Kita and others.
• While finishing his studies, Tj never stopped auditioning for tv shows and becoming a talent until he became part of a variety show Rush TV on Studio 23. He thought this was the “moment/big break” that he was waiting for but unfortunately the show was short-lived (2007-2008).
