In an interview, Antonio granted an interview and spoke about passing the Bar. According to him, he was scared and anxious ahead of the result, but tried hard to stay optimistic. When the news erupted, he was shocked, and it felt surreal.
His journey to becoming a lawyer was marked by patience, timing, and perseverance.
It was in 2014 when he graduated from law school; however, he chose to focus on acting after his stint in On the Wings of Love paved the way for more acting opportunities. It was a sign he took to prioritize his showbiz career.
Years later, he encountered a new sign – a 68-year-old woman who passed the bar on her first try. With the support of his wife and his mother, he went to San Sebastian College to enrol and prepare for the exam. He chose the in-person classes to stay disciplined and motivated.
He juggled studying and working, and during a crucial time in his journey, he received support from the production of Sins of the Father. He was ready to leave the program, but was given the chance to only take a break to focus on his studies and later return to the show.
“Just keep trying. Not just taking the bar, but in other aspects of my life I failed so many times. I just keep trying. Today, you sulk, you cry whatever it is. Tomorrow, you pick yourself up,” he shared with the future takers of the Bar exam.
