Mik’s stories have emerged from this formative upbringing, he explained to us: “I’m privileged to be a second-generation filmmaker and artist. I was exposed to cinema at a very early age because both my parents are artists .

Oh, of course. Because I really am the shy type . It always starts out awkwardly. In fact, I remember my first time at ABS-CBN, and I had to go straight to the Penthouse … to pitch “Eerie” to Ma’am Charo, who was the CEO at the time.
