Actor David Licauco isn’t afraid to stumble; in fact, he embraces every mistake and challenge that comes his way.
In a recent TV interview, the actor revealed that making mistakes has been an essential part of his journey, both in showbiz and in business ventures.
“And this holds true whether it’s my showbiz career or businesses,” he admitted.
The Pambansang Ginoo recalled a childhood setback that would ultimately fuel his drive.
“When I was in fifth grade, I didn’t make the cut for the school’s basketball team. Admittedly, I wasn’t that good yet. But in the following months, I practiced nonstop. The next year, I made it — and became part of the mythical five!”
David considers failure as a stepping stone. “I try my very best to become the best at everything. I’m not afraid of blunders because they actually excite me. If you fail, you learn and apply the lessons next time. Perhaps you can’t perfect it, but you’re one step closer. Success starts from failure.”
Currently, David is channeling that same determination into a dream project: building a luxury villa in Siargao.
“I’m in the designing phase. Maybe after my current prime-time show, Never Say Die, I’ll move on to construction. I’m very hands-on with things like that!”
But it’s not all construction and career moves. The former college basketball star is preparing to compete in a global indoor fitness competition, starting with a monthly race in Taiwan.
“Of course, my goal is to medal. I make time to work out even before tapings and before dinner. Some say they don’t have time, but if you really want something, you find a way,” he said.
On set, David has found camaraderie among his co-stars Jillian Ward, Kim Ji Soo, and Raheel Bhyria. “Jillian is so kind and genuine. She even gives me business advice sometimes. Kim and I share the same humor, and Raheel has big dreams and wants to learn the ins and outs of the biz. I just love these guys!” (J.P.R. Gonzales/ Manila Standard)
