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.

    I don't follow a lot of what he is doing - but all I can say with what little I know and have heard about your personal life - just remember the famous line - the truth will set you free.

    My advice can work both ways - LOL - why are you assuming the worst about his gender. Learn to read and understand the comment before engaging. As to what the truth is- will only be defined by your idol. Is it wrong advice to say that if and when he accepts the truth - it will set him free ! It is comments like yours that only confirm everyone's suspicions. Try not to be defensive about the matter...

    Nanliligaw naman, nagka girlfriend nga di ba? Kaya lang expect niya ata makipag bukingkingan sa kanya ang babae gabi-gabi habang naghihintay sa kaniyang desisyon Kung pakakasalan ba niya or hindi. Kung tumanda man ang babae sa kahihintay hindi siya magi guilty dahil Hindi niya nga naman ginalaw. Ang hanap niya ay babaeng walang opinion, lol.

    when piola express his feelings on national tv that he likes rica peralejo and wants to court her my first impression is wow he really like her comparing the stature of the two that time piola is big compared to her but i saw it on tv the awkwardness of her face about the admission i was thinking she was du mb not to go for him but eventually i realized she is smart not to fall for the ploy she chooses to be insignificant rather than being used as a part of a gimmick she was coming off from bold movies and changed to become a christian she learned her lesson but unfortunately piola take a stab at kc coming from france to study and kc take a big bite this proves one thing deception chooses nobody and thats whats wrong with him not se xual preference being g ay is ok but fool ing somebody and worse your fans not me is a big in sult to their intellectual capacity

    20 yrs na yata si Piolo sa Showbiz,isang beses ko lang narinig na nag gf, yong kay KC ,palpak pa. Mahirap talagang pilitin ang sarili kung hindi kaya. Sana umamin na lang sya kagaya ni Rustom para hindi nya niloloko ang publiko lalo na mga fans nya at sarili nya.

    Ang daming nagpapalusot para sa reyna ng mga bakla sa ABS. Ayaw pa kasing umamin. And to people who say his private life is private, advice this reyna ng mga bakla to syop issuing publicity stunts like these cheap write-up. Kung ayaw niyang pag-usapan siya, tumahimik na lang siya.

    To all of you narrow-minded people..... Who cares if he is gay or not?! Fact is, he is multi-talented, multi-Awardee, multi-millionaire, so eat your hearts out, bitter people! He doesn't owe anybody explanation and even if he chooses not to speak about it, that's his right. Piolo has too much class than to air his dirty laundry in public.... In fact I was really disappointed with KC, for somebody who went to private schools, Well-travelled, mega-rich etc.... She Came out really cheap and tacky in her The Buzz interview, where she not only aired her dirty linens nationwide, bug also announced to the world that she has personal n-e-e-d-s that Piolo can't provide, tsk tsk tsk such as what KC? Piolo as a Christian doesn't believe in pre-marital sex , he is Nora's wild as her..... Piolo have learned his lesson when he was younger when he gained a son at an early age.... And although he loves Inigo too much, he would still rather he had him ag the right time. So lay off Piolo, you sour grapes!

    09/09/2012 | 07:43 PM
    Narrow minded is kukuha ka ng girlfriend tapos mahuhuli kang nagsa shower kasama mo lalaki, lol. If he doesn't believe in pre marital sex why did he even bother to have a gf? Did he really expect KC to play cards with him all night long throughout the years? There's nothing wrong of being gay but what's wrong is deceiving women for his personal gain. It doesn't have to be piolo, anyone with an attitude like that doesn't deserve respect. And yes, even millionaires and brilliant people can be pathetic.
