Ever since, TJ knew that he wanted to become an actor. But obedient child as he is, he opted to grant his parents’ requests of him finishing his education. During his elementary and high school years, he was enrolled in Colegio de San Agustin. At De La Salle University, meanwhile, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree, majoring in Marketing Management in 1999.

He then found himself working in business sector. His first job was in All Asia Capital as money market trader. He then later brought his expertise to the United States. He was also one of the pioneers of a newly opened company called E-Pay. It primarily distributes electronic prepaid cards. Unfortunately, the company didn’t last long.

Nevertheless, he didn’t take this to heart. Instead, he saw it as a sign that perhaps he was indeed cut out for show business. He then called Edu Manzano , a family friend, for a good advice since he doesn’t really know how to start his acting career. It was Edu who introduced TJ to June Torrejon, who is currently managing him. And the rest is history.

But before TJ landed great roles in TV and movies, he was also doing TV commercials, such as for Close-Up, Tivoli chocolates, San Miguel, and Swatch. At ten years of age, he attended acting workshops and performed in play in Antioch Alabang for charity purposes.

He loves to play football and tennis, and is a lead vocalist of a band called Mofo. TJ is considered to be a very religious and grounded person, thanks to the guidance and advice of his parents. In his spare time, he’s either with his family or his friends.

TJ doesn't think he is sexy or buffed so he has no plans of posing for sexy male magazines like Frontman, we just hope he changes his mind.
