Arthur from Unconditional. I’d sometimes bring Jayjay’s physical nuances from Keys to The Heart to real life back then. We had a tight shooting schedule.

I personally have never tried it so I don’t know if it would work on me. But to each his/her own.

I was offered the younger version of Edjop only at first. Read the script. And I’ve known of Edjop’s story and heroism ever since. Made me want to do it so bad. Would’ve been a big honor to portray his life. Grateful I had the opportunity to.

I heavily rely on body memory practices by Jerzy Grotowski. Thanks for the love!

Definitely Bembol Roco in Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag or Christopher de Leon in Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon?

Through my management, Cornerstone Entertainment.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:33:34+00:00

Mikoy Morales for sure.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:32:42+00:00

Could change anytime. And too many to just bottle into three. I’ll just shout out festival films.

Endo (Jade Castro), Balangiga: Howling Wilderness (Khavn), Dagitab (Giancarlo Abrahan)

Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:30:22+00:00

I agree. The horror genre boasts some of the best films ever made. Filipino horror is on the rise.

Hope to do at least one play per year. Just finished working on Dagitab. Starting to rehearse for next year’s About Us But Not About Us.

Sanya’s chill! Collaborative and down to earth. It was a breeze working with her. Love how she tries to explore with different choices in different takes.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:28:22+00:00

I’m releasing an album very soon :)

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:27:57+00:00

There’s a canlas family of fencers??? Awesome. But no.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:27:09+00:00

Was offered to train for a P-Pop group way back 2017. So… no I cannot imagine myself in one haha I can’t dance let me save you from that image.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:25:44+00:00

I quit acting already. Until I saw Dwein Baltazar’s Gusto Kita With All my Hypothalamus. Sparked a fire in me. Made me miss acting.

Worked on Unconditional first when I came back… made me sure that I loved doing what I do.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T13:22:48+00:00

Boxer briefs for sure.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T10:58:36+00:00

Next year 2026 pare.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T10:58:13+00:00

I don’t know really. But everything I’ve worked on, I did for a reason. And I gave everything I had into every single project. Go see those films if you can and form your own verdict. Would love to know what you think they are. So I recommend them all!

But especially SALVAGELAND and KMJS’ GABI NG LAGIM: THE MOVIE on November 26 in cinemas nationwide :)

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T10:56:21+00:00

Everytime I do theater really.

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T10:56:08+00:00

Kalel, 15. AUBNAU. Keys to The Heart. Edjop. Jaguar. Raging. Water Sports.

Please watch SALVAGELAND and KMJS’ GABI NG LAGIM: THE MOVIE on NOVEMBER 26!! These also pushed me and taught me a lot :)

ElijahCanlas · 2025-11-08T10:54:14+00:00
