He is a graduating Grade 12 student from the University of Santo Tomas and hopes to take up Customs Administration in college.
A proud Muslim
Mad is driven by a powerful goal: to represent the Muslim community.
"Gusto kong i-represent ;yung Muslim community na kayang-kaya natin makipagsabayan sa ganitong larangan, sa ganitong industry. Kasi konti lang naman 'di ba ang sumusubok sa ganito," he said.
He hopes to make his Muslim brothers and sisters proud and intends to continue his mission for them.
A talented volleyball player
Beyond his budding entertainment career, Mad is an accomplished athlete. He is a volleyball player at UST, where he is part of the varsity team.
"Na-recruit po ako doon kaya po nakapag-aral po ako doon," he said.
Aspiring action star with big dreams
When asked about his dream acting genre, Mad said that he believes his athletic background gives him an advantage in doing action projects.
"Feel ko advantage ko 'yun, puwede ring maging leading man, 'di ba? Kahit na may boundaries ako as a Muslim. Siyempre, we'll work things out, may paraan naman iyan para magawa," he said.
He foresees himself as a successful actor and model in 10 years, eager to take on all opportunities that come his way, driven by a strong desire to learn and achieve.
"Actually lahat gusto kong kunin eh, gano'n ako ka-hungry right now na gusto kong kunin lahat and matuto," he said.
A dedicated family guy
Mad is deeply family-oriented. He recounts seeking advice and support from his grandmother and parents during challenging times, including preparing for interviews.
"I'm very thankful na sinuportahan nila ako hanggang dulo. Kita niyo naman, 'yung iba galing pang Mindanao, who flew from Mindanao papunta dito para lang suportahan ako. Ganon nila ako kamahal," he said. —MGP, GMA Integrated News

Barbie Forteza all praises for Kyline Alcantara: 'She's very delightful and generous'
Barbie Forteza is all praises for her friend and "Beauty Empire" co-star Kyline Alcantara. In her GMA Integrated News interview with Nelson Canlas, which aired in "24 Oras" Tuesday, the Kapuso Primetime Princess shared that this is the first time she and Kyline worked together in a teleserye. "Nakakatrabaho ko na po siya dati sa 'All-Out Sundays,' sumasayaw na kami together, nag-s-spiels na kami together pero ngayon ko lang siya na-experience as an actress at masasabi ko na she's very delightful and generous," praised Barbie. "She's very genuine when it comes to giving emotions sa eksena. Marunong siyang magtimpla ng eksena at tsaka malalim 'yung hugot niya bilang aktor," she added. Barbie and Kyline's friendship has gotten even deeper as they started working together in "Beauty Empire." In Kyline's previous GMA Integrated News interview, she shared that she has wanted to work with Barbie since she started in GMA Network in 2018. "Right now, I have the privilege of working with her, so ang sarap po sa pakiramdam. As in idol ko po talaga at lagi ko naman sinasabi 'yan kay Barbie pag nagkaka-eksena pa rin kami. Hanggang ngayon may konting kaba pa rin at nginig pa rin sa baba kapag ka-eksena ko si Barbie kasi napakagaling po ni Barbie," said Kyline. The two stars also bond outside of taping. Per Kyline, they like going out for coffee together; she has also ventured into running thanks to Barbie. During Kyline's guesting in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on July 11, she could not help but turn emotional as she shared how Barbie helped her cope with her recent heartbreak. She added that their relationship right now is more than just being coworkers, agreeing with Tito Boy that they are like sisters. Kyline and Barbie star together in "Beauty Empire" with Ruffa Gutierrez, Gloria Diaz, Chai Fonacier, and more. It airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9:35 p.m. on GMA Network. It is also available on Viu. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
