Grateful siya sa Kapuso Network matapos niyang balikan ang kaniyang journey noong nagsisimula pa lamang siya sa showbiz, bilang isa sa mga contestant ng 'Starstruck'.
"I started late in my early 20s. It was a half-hearted decision to join showbiz. But hindi talaga ako nagsisi because the learnings that I got through Starstruck paved the way for me to be where I am right now," pahayag ni Rocco.
"Kung may pasasalamatan talaga ako, of course, it's the network, the executives, but also Starstruck. Three months of grueling workshops to make us into whole artists and to make our mark in showbiz…To be here, to be staying as a Kapuso, it's something I'm very, very proud of and grateful for."
Si Rocco ang Second Prince sa 'StarStruck V noong 2012. naging markado ang kaniyang pagganap sa Pinoy adaptation ng hit Korean drama series na 'Descendants of the Sun' bilang second lead na si Technical Sergeant Diego Ramos.
Sa kasalukuya, siya ang leading man sa GMA Primetime drama series na 'To Have and To Hold’ bilang si Gavin Ramirez, kasama sina Max Collins at Carla Abellana.
"Kahit na tumatatak na sa mga tao ang 'To Have and To Hold', hindi ko hinahayaan na maiwan iyan sa ulo ko at lumaki. So, I always remain scared, na anytime puwede nila akong palitan kaya dapat tama ang ginagawa ko. I make sure I always talk to my managers and the executives for advice on what to do. Kasi hindi ko talaga alam 'yung buong business na 'to. I make sure to do things right, to make decisions with respect, and to honor those who take care of me," pag-amin ni Rocco.
Pinuri naman siya ng isa sa mga GMA Executives na si Lilybeth Rasonable.
"Since Starstruck, you have improved and grown as an actor. But more than that, what I like about you is that you give a good example to your co-actors because you finished your education amidst all the busyness of your schedule. You're very well-rounded. You have one of the most important traits an artist should have - perseverance. It is because of that, that we are proud and happy that you're still a loyal Kapuso. Congratulations."
