PEP EXCLUSIVE: “I don’t wanna be single when I’m 40."— Piolo Pascual

When asked about the rumored romance between his fellow Star Magic talents John Lloyd Cruz and Angelica Panganiban (not in photo), Piolo Pascual simply said, "Both are my friends."

At the gala night of Sun Shorts held on September 7, we saw a handsome star fixing the coat of another guy near the entrance of Newport Cinema 3 in Resorts World.

“My brother Choi,” Piolo Pascual said when PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) approached him for an interview.

In public, we see Piolo Pascual as an actor, a singer, and a heartthrob.

But sans the camera, he's known for being a responsible son and a good brother. In fact, when the topic shifted to his homes in Los Angeles and Nevada that were featured in YES! magazine, he quickly replied, “It’s not mine…

“The houses are my family’s— my mom’s, my sister’s…

“So I’m staying there when I’m there, pero sa kanila yun.”


WHAT’S NEXT FOR PIOLO? We mentioned the numerous things he can do— photography, producing films, running, to name a few.

Smiling, he threw in, “I’m just bored…”

But when asked where he wants to invest more time and energy, he answered, “triathlon.”

His last bike event was last month, at the Cobra Ironman 70.3, where he finished the 90-kilometer route in two hours and 47 minutes.

Piolo continued, “I really wanna focus on triathlon, you know, it’s my passion…

“Every day, I wake up when I’m not working, I head to the course and swim, I bike, I run… I really find time… I make time for it…

“It’s a different adrenaline rush.”

Producing more films is also part of his to-do list.

“We’re talking whether there’s Kimmy Dora 3… But it’s hard to follow, siyempre, the collaboration between Joyce Bernal and Chris Martinez.

    If you don't want to be single when 40 comes around, Go Go Go and find your Mr. Papito Perfecto. You are not in your teens na naman to make such pa cute statement and be Miss Drama Rama. Ang dami mo namang excuses nakakasawa na.

    After ng showbiz career nya, for sure hindi yan titira dito sa Pinas. Sa US or Europe pwede cia mag hide and seek at legal ang sameSex marriage sa ilang bansa. Di na sana nanggagamit ng girl or pamacho effect para lang pagtakpan ang kabadingan. Kahit anong takip,aalingasaw pa rin. Saka maiintindihan nman ng publiko yan kagaya ni Rustom.

    Ang gay naman puedeng magka-anak at puedeng MAGPANGGAP na may anak. Tingin ko yong anak kuno ni Piolo ay FRONT lang pang cover up sa gender nya. Hindi nman artista yung bata lagi nyang binabanggit for publicity. Magpakatotoo na lang kasi,halata naman na gay eh.

    A man with a strong faith to God doesn't have to chase every woman, thy believe that there will be someone that God will have for them on the right time. He doesn't want to be single by the time his 40, but with God's faith and that woman is not so he meant to be a single dad. After all He has his family loving him truly for who He is. The path that he took for his career wasn't easy,yet He has been blessed and successful. If you guys think that it easy to be a successful actor well think again and when you get this chance, you definitely would like to make the most out of it. They say you cannot always have love and money at the same time.

    pioling is a christian and he should know that you cant find in the Bible that God created gays as well as tomboys..if he is a man with a strong faith, think again.i do admire his struggle to be a man in the eyes of everyone but he cant deceive his Creator. why not use his faith and be a man instead!

    i'm certainly not a f a g g o t you fool lol! i really feel sorry for Piola, sana may smart naman siyang fan na to encourage him to come out na... i don't see anything wrong being gay honestly, i have few homos in my workplace they're nothing but fabulously fashionistas, rich, smartly witty and really fun to be with. They can bring down the house with laughters..There's not a day in the office that I don't find them fascinating. you get what i mean Wepster?? or whatever you are. Lol!

    ow? what do we expect? another publicity for Piola, Pioly or whatever! Look at yourself in the mirror, walang lyf your eyes noh, very unispired looking.. as dry as your career. It's time to come out in the open para di ka makarma na gaya ni Mr. Tito Sotto.. Stop using your poor fans for money with your lies.. it's best to be truthful than being a conceited liar.

    Sus, ang mga nagreact dito negatively ay obviously mga badingers na Kapupu na patuloy na umaasang badingers si Piolo para lumaki ang tsansang magkatotoo ang.mga ilusyon nila kay Piolo. Pagtiyagaan niyo na lang na pagnasaan yung mga Kapussy talents tulad ni Joey de Leon at Mike Enriquez.

    She has 5 years more to go before she comes out in the open. sa lagay na yan may karir ka pa ba eh ngayon pa lang wala na nangyari sa show nyo nina jericho at christine . dapat siguro mag concentrate ka na lang as a producer kasi daming mga badingers na producers at mga directors.
