- Edwin was introduced to the world of acting when he was plopped in front of a television set as his constant babysitter. After all he's seen, he decided to pursue priesthood.
During his service as a choirboy and altar boy, he met actor Steve McQueen while shooting "The Hunter" at his parochial school in Chicago. This profound meeting ignited his interest to pursue the arts. But, he decided to pursue medicine instead.
It was until studying at the university that his counselor advised him that he'd take some elective courses to complete the units required to transfer to medical school. So, he decided to take an acting class.
The rest...is going according to plan.

- I would like to have stories about Filipino experiences. However, I do not want to fall in the category where I have to produce strictly Filipino or Asian films because of my ethnic background. I want to make films about people in general and add a Filipino flavor to it.
