MANILA – Overwhelmed may be an understatement for actor Joshua Garcia, who feels privileged to be part of “Barcelona: A Love Untold” starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

Speaking to ABS-CBN News’ Jeff Fernando, Garcia said an opportunity as big as this doesn’t come to a new actor like him.

"Masaya ako, sobrang saya. Bihira lang ang maka trabaho si Inang (Olivia M. Llamasan) tapos Kathniel (Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla) pa. Talagang mabibigat na artista at director. Sobra akong blessed kasi maraming batang artista sa showbiz tapos ako ang napili para dito," he said.

He also talked about his learnings after being directed by Lamasan, a veteran filmmaker.

"Kinabahan ako pero na-excite din ako. Masaya kahit kinakabahan. Inaalalayan naman niya kasi ako kahit na bago ako. Kinakausap muna niya ako bago magsimula ang shoot. Sabi lang talaga sa 'kin ni Inang na tumatak sa akin ay 'Never stop learning,’" he said.

As to working with Padilla and Bernardo, Garcia said: "Alam naman natin lahat 'yan na sobrang sweet nila, nainggit nga ako. Ang Kathniel napaka-professional nila, dumarating sila ng set ng ready na, kabisado na ang script. Parang mga beteranong mga artista na sila."

“Barcelona: A Love Untold” is slated to be released in cinemas on September 14.

Garcia is also part of the upcoming movie adaptation of the "Vince and Kath" book, as well as the new ABS-CBN series “The Greatest Love,” which will start airing on Monday.
