I’m excited and blessed to have several projects. I get good and significant roles so hindi ko dapat pabayaan ang mga opportunities na ito. Kaya I’m thankful ngayong 2013 for all the blessings that I’ve been receiving,” Rocco shares. Recently, Rocco’s groundbreaking program “Bayan Ko” was awarded at the Philippine Quill Awards for Excellence and 2013 Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA). (MNS)
