Lauchengco had previously worked with Cahilig as a cast member of the wildly popular TikTok series 52 Weeks, where he first drew the attention of TikTok followers.
Affirming that signing up with Cahilig has been his best career move so far, he says, “Ang lawak na ng experience ni Direk Chris. Sobrang galing niya bilang director at producer, at bilib na bilib ako sa kanya bilang isang manager. Nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa kanya for this opportunity.” Cahilig is also the producer behind My Plantito, a BL-themed romcom series currently airing on TikTok. All these have led to his recent appointment as head of the first-ever Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival.
