Dustin Yu was seen in the GMA Telebabad series 'Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune.'
In the primetime series, he played Kenneth Chan, the youngest son in a prominent Filipino-Chinese family.
Dustin shared screen time with such industry greats as Boots Anson-Roa, Maricel Laxa, Sunshine Cruz, and award-winning actress Barbie Forteza.
As a newcomer to showbiz, he is very glad to be part of a primetime series.
"Noong sinabi pa lang sa 'kin na kinuha na 'ko for this series, super na-excite ako and at the same time siyempre kinabahan since newbie lang nga ako. Pero noong nasa set naman kami, sobrang nakagawa agad kami ng chemistry," Dustin shared.
He is also glad to have made fast friends and mentors in the show.
"Sa umpisa talaga, medyo challenging pero sobrang lucky ko kasi kilala ko na si Nikki [Co] before pa. Si David [Licauco] napaka humble. Sina Rob [Gomez], 'yung mga ibang co-actors ko, super helfpful din nila sa set. Nagbibigay sila ng tips. Na-challenge ako pero magaan naman po pagdating sa set. 'Pag wala kami sa set, nagba-bonding kami para may chemistry," he explained.
Prior to being part of 'Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune,' Dustin signed a contract with Regal Entertainment and officially became a "Regal baby."
He made his television debut in the telemovie special "Myra's Miracle," an episode of the weekly anthology series 'Regal Studio Presents.'
This chinito heartthrob was formally introduced as part of the Sparkle GMA Artist Center family in November 2022 during the star-studded 'Signed for Stardom' event.
