Sam Milby speaks why John Estrada will replace Jericho Rosales in Against All Odds

During an interview last February 22 with Sam Milby about the upcoming teleserye of ABS-CBN entitled “Against All Odds”, the actor explained the probable reason why John Estrada was chosen as cast of the show instead of Jericho Rosales.

“Si John Estrada na ang kasama na gaganap ng role sana ni Jericho. I don’t know kung dapat ko sabihin pero last year pa kasama na si John sa original cast. Yung role na ‘yan kay John Estrada. Tapos nagkaroon ng A Beautiful Affair kaya ‘di niya pwedeng gawin yung Against All Odds. Eh dahil tumigil na kami sa taping at that time nagkataon na natapos na yung A Beautiful Affair. Dapat nga si Jericho ang naging kasama sa teleserye. I don’t know what actually happened with that. Ayun, tapos na taping ng A Beautiful Affair, si Echo ‘di na kasama, at si John Estrada na ulit,” he said.

The Kapamilya actor says the role that is supposed to be for Jericho was equally important of his role, although John will be going to be a leading man in the story.

“Hindi yun ang concern. Napakalaking role din yung kay John Estrada. Magkaiba yung roles namin eh. Ayoko lang i-spoil. Basta very important talaga yung role niya. It’s a leading man role din. Just like yung sinasabi ko, yung role ko very grey yung character. Basta ayoko na ikwento ng masyado. Basta parehong important yung role namin. Lalo na sa first part na mas nakikita yung character ko. Tapos after the first few weeks mas magiging strong character ni John,” he explained.

Sam admitted though that he was not able to speak to Jericho about it. He denies that the reason why Jericho backed out from the teleserye was because of billing issue. There was a statement made by Jericho in an interview that he backed out from the show in favor of an opportunity to do a Malaysian TV series.
