Victor Basa wants to pursue serious roles after "Astigs"

victor_basa_10 Hanging out with his Astigs co-stars for the last time made model turned actor Victor Basa emotional. As he himself would put it, "bittersweet," is the exact word to describe the entire Camarines Sur experience.

"Masaya halos lahat kami naka-try mag-wakeboard," he animatedly confided to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last Saturday, April 19, while loitering around the CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC).

Wakeboarding, however, was not the chief purpose of the Camarines Sur visit. The Astigs team was there to shoot the farewell episode of the teen-oriented show which will be shown this coming May.

The smile on Victor's boyish face momentarily faded. "It's sad and at the same time I'm happy because a lot in the group, you know, we have shows," added the MTV VJ.

If it's any consolation, Victor pointed out that being part of Astigs helped a lot in honing his acting chops. Just like all of his other young co-stars, Victor humbly acknowledged that when it comes to acting he still had a long way to go.

"I'll miss them. But at least we were able to use this as an opportunity to progress in our acting and I've developed real friendships," he paused before letting out another sigh, "I'm gonna miss this group."
