Here are five things to know about Mad, who has joined the cast of Kapuso youth-oriented series "Maka." A friendly face with an intimidating vibe Mad, who was born Ahmad Ramos on November 16, 2005, admitted that he may appear intimidating at times, but he described himself as a "very friendly and approachable" guy. 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
