“Maraming tips akong nakuha just being on set and being off-cam. So the technicals of blocking and a bit of acting, natutunan ko na…I took a bit of acting workshop with Tita Malou De Guzman and talagang nirehearse ko yung mga lines ko…I have the cast members din naman to help me out, lalo na si Tito Ian [Veneracion].

From a young age, Lance trained in wushu under his father’s guidance and eventually earned a place on the Philippine National Junior Wushu Team. After completing his competitive wushu career, he expanded his skills to include mixed martial arts, boxing, and Muay Thai. He even taught wushu before fully immersing himself in stunt work and choreography.
Lance discovered his passion for stunts at an early age while watching his father, Direk Lester Pimentel Ong, at work. At just ten years old, he made his first appearance in a fight scene on the hit TV series *Lastikman*, marking his entry into show business.
His professional experience includes work in both television and film. He had small acting roles in ABS-CBN’s *La Luna Sangre* and *Bagani*. Eventually, he discovered his true passion as an action choreographer and stunt director, starting with *One Good Day* and continuing with *The Iron Heart*, where he not only choreographed the action sequences but also made an on-screen appearance.
Lance is preparing to promote the upcoming Netflix movie The Delivery Rider, which stars Baron Geisler. Lance has contributed as both the stunt choreographer and action director. Produced by Studio 360’s creative team, the film tells the gripping story of a delivery rider who finds himself in a perilous situation and must fight his way to safety. He also appears, showcasing his skills in a fight scene.
Beyond the entertainment industry, Lance has a strong business acumen as the Chief Technology Officer of Binondo Food Group. He studied Business Technology Management at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He returned to the Philippines to actively participate in his family’s food ventures, which include popular brands such as Dean & Deluca, Rice in a Box, Kyukyu Ramen, and Wangfu, among others. Looking ahead, Lance aspires to build his brands and businesses while continuing to leave his mark in action filmmaking.
Lance is a man of many talents who enjoys a variety of hobbies, including pickleball, video editing, and music. With a creative spirit that flourishes both in front of and behind the camera, he envisions directing projects that combine his passion for storytelling with action.
Lance distinguishes himself from other talents with a unique combination of skills: expertise in action and stunts, along with entrepreneurial ambition.
Looking forward, Lance aims to undertake more quality projects that highlight not only Filipino talent but also the creativity and world-class craftsmanship of local productions.
