Bernard Palanca opened up on his journey to overcoming his past drug addiction.

On Thursday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," the actor said he regrets dabbling into illegal drugs in the first place when asked what could have been done to prevent his downward spiral.

"If it is possible to go back Tito Boy, if that possibility was there, and if I could, I would definitely go back to the very first day that I tried, you know, doing something," he said.

"I wouldn't do it at all, because that was the start eh. When that happened, that would cause already the rest of the way. So, if I didn't take the first puff as they say back then, I don't think my life would have went in that direction at all."

Bernard previously went into showbiz hiatus and underwent rehabilitation.

The actor is currently appears in "Slay," GMA Network's first Viu Original series. The murder-mystery stars Gabbi Garcia, Julie Anne San Jose, Ysabel Ortega, Mikee Quintos, and Derrick Monasterio.

"Slay" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. after "Mga Batang Riles." It is also available on Viu, but the television version and the streaming version have different killers. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
