Reinvention with Mr. Jovit Moya

On this episode we are joined by Mr. Jovit Moya. He started his career as part of the two most iconic shows in Philippine entertainment history - Lovingly Yours Helen and That's Entertainment. After almost two decades working as an actor, he embraced the risk and reality of joining the police force, eventually becoming a police commander before leaving the Philippines and living abroad. Today, he is back in the country doing showbusiness things - producing films, acting in movies and even lending his voice to characters we see on tv. Enjoy the episode. Cheers!
