His wife, Sasa, described him as jack-of-all-trades but a quiet guy. Though not much of a talker, he is like a ninja candidly eavesdropping in people's conversation. In Filipino slang, that is called a chismoso (tsismoso). Then one time while hosting soiree at home, a friend just dubbed Jase as the Chef na Chismoso: #chefmoso. Everyone laughed and the rest is history.
