Piolo, Shaina left Star Magic Ball together

MANILA – Piolo Pascual and Shaina Magdayao were spotted leaving the Fairmont Hotel in Makati together after the 7th Star Magic Ball last Saturday. The two arrived separately at the red-carpet event, with Pascual saying he can’t walk beside Magdayao because of the long trail of the actress’ gown. The two even said they would be with their group of friends. “Marami akong date, isang buong grupo ng mga kaibigan ko. All of my friends are here. Finally magkakasama na kaming lahat na magkakatrabaho,” Magdayao said. As for Pascual, he said: “Date ko sila lahat. I’m there naman to be with everyone. Shy and I are going to be there. We are going to be together along with a lot of other friends.” But as the night progressed, Pascual and Magdayao were seen together several times and even left the venue together. Pascual and Magdayao have been consistent in saying that there is nothing romantic going on between them. Earlier this year, Pascual said they are just enjoying each other’s company. “My friendship with Shaina is okay. We're able to know each other better and at the same time, siguro we just have the same interests. Marami naman siguro nakakakita sa Intagram ng mga pinaggagagawa namin,” he said. Pascual, however, said he does not want to say anything more about their closeness. “There's a thin line sa being showbiz and wanting it personal kasi whatever you say, it may appear as a showbiz answer or what have you. Gusto ko sana walang sabihin, I don't want to comment. I don't want to say anything about it pero dumadating tayo sa point na nakukuwestiyon ka. As much as you want to be sincere, iba pa rin ang dating sa tao eh,” he said. Pascual believes that the more he talks about it, the more people would speculate. Asked about their real status now, Pascual said: “What I can safely say about our relationship is we are friends, we are very good friends. We've been hanging out a lot lately so nandoon siya sa point na iyon.” In a separate interview, Magdayao said she is happy that Pascual appreciates her but stressed that she is enjoying the single life. Magdayao plays Pascual's wife in the crime drama "On The Job," which is now on its second week in theaters.

Gerald, Piolo saddened by misuse of public funds

MANILA – “On The Job” lead actors Piolo Pascual and Gerald Anderson expressed disappointment over the alleged misuse of public funds by some government officials. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, both actors said it is sad that they do their part in paying the right amount of taxes only to see their money go to other people's pockets. “Bilang taxpayer, kami 'yung naka-front eh. Kami 'yung mga sinasabing malalaking tax, so sana ganun din ang mga taong nasa upuan. Kanya kanya naman tayo ng trabaho. Maging totoo lang tayo, maging tapat lang tayo,” Pascual said. Anderson, on the other hand, said it is disgusting that the politicians who were elected to represent the people are the same ones who take away what’s supposed to be theirs. “Masarap mag-charity events but at the end of the day, iniisip mo dapat mas may tulong tayo from them (polticians). Pero wala, 'yung pera, they take it for themselves. People are dying because of the money na nasa kanila,” he said. Anderson said he hopes to see erring officials apprehended for their crimes. “Siyempre after ng mga nangyari sa atin last week, kita mo ang kahirapan. Kami artista kami, ang laki ng binabayaran naming tax but at the end of the day mayroon pa kaming pambili ng pagkain para sa pamilya namin. Paano ang mga normal na tao, 'yung may mas mababang sweldo?” he said. He added: “Sana mahuli [yung mga korap]. Hindi 'yung mga kagaya dati na alam natin kung sinong gumawa pero walang nangyari.” Pascual and Anderson made their comments in light of Monday's protest to abolish the Priority Development Assistance Fund or the pork barrel. Thousands gathered in what has been dubbed as the "Million People March" to Rizal Park in Manila to send across to government officials their common battle cry. Participants from different walks of life arrived denouncing the misuse of pork barrel.

Why Piolo Pascual won't settle down yet

MANILA -- Piolo Pascual brought up a "promise" he made to his son, Iñigo, in explaining why he has opted not to settle down yet at 36. The actor, dubbed the country's "Ultimate Heartthrob," said he intends to devote his attention to his only child with his former non-showbiz partner until he comes of age. "Of course. Gusto ko po sana bago ako mag-40," Pascual said an interview on "Showbiz Inside Report" aired Saturday, when asked whether he still hopes to start a new family. "[Although] I'm at an age na pwede na, not a lot of people know na I promised my son, when he's 18, that's the only time na magko-concentrate ako sa magiging future ko with a family," he said. Iñigo, who is based in California with his mother, is turning 16 on September 14. "So I'm giving myself four years [to settle down]," Pascual said. "I'm 36. I'm not getting any younger." Asked how he feels about being a single dad, Pascual said, "Okay naman. Minsan hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na mayroon akong anak na 16 anyos." "Kasi feeling ko, parang binata pa naman ako. Pero may anak na ako. Pero ang sarap ng pakiramdam," he added. Pascual has said that while Iñigo is based in the United States, he maintains constant communication with him and makes frequent visits there. In an interview in February, the actor said he also remains civil with Iñigo's mother, who updates him on their son's education. Now that Iñigo has expressed interest in joining showbiz -- Pascual would only allow him to go full-time once he turns 18 -- the actor said he tries "to set an example." "You have to make things right for him. Para, at least, you know na 'yung susundan niyang yapak is hindi siya maliligaw," said Pascual, who is approaching his 20th year in showbiz. Pascual is currently doing promotions for his latest film, the crime-thriller "OTJ," which premieres on August 28. He is also filming a Star Cinema movie with actress Toni Gonzaga and director Olivia Lamasan.

Piolo-Claudine reunion film in the works

MANILA -- A new film starring former "love team" Piolo Pascual and Claudine Barretto is in the works, the actress' camp said, as she remains embroiled in a legal feud involving her family. According to her legal counsel, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, Barretto is gearing up for her first co-starring project with Pascual since 2004, when their last film together, "Milan," was released. "I believe may movie siya with Piolo Pascual. Kausap ko si Boss Vic (del Rosario, Viva Films founder) eh... Actually Boss Vic wants me to fix everything para makapag-shooting na sila," the lawyer told ABS-CBN News on Thursday, referring to the actress' court battle with husband Raymart Santiago. The 34-year-old Barretto, who first announced her back-to-back film projects in July, is under the management of del Rosario's Viva Artists Agency. According to the actress, both her comeback movies will be under Viva Films. One of them, she added, will be a co-production with ABS-CBN's film arm, Star Cinema. Pascual, who is an exclusive talent of ABS-CBN, on Friday expressed excitement over working anew with Barretto. He is unsure, however, when the project will start, saying it is up to the management of Star Cinema. "Si Tita Malou (Santos, Star Cinema Managing Director) lang makakasagot no'n, but of course Clau has been a good friend of mine and I hope one of these days, pag nagtugma na 'yung [schedule] namin, magawa namin. I'm very excited for it. "Clau will always be one of the closest friends in showbiz na talagang tumulong sa akin and anytime," the 36-year-old actor told ABS-CBN News shortly after a bloggers conference for his upcoming film, "OTJ." While Pascual brought up factors which may determine whether the project will push through, he said he is more than willing to co-star with Barretto again. "Depende sa schedule namin, depende sa schedule niya, depende kay Tita Malou. But yeah, of course sabi ko kay Tita Malou, 'Oo naman,'" said Pascual, who is currently filming a Star Cinema movie with actress Toni Gonzaga and director Olivia Lamasan. Asked if he is still in touch with Barretto, Pascual said, "Wala pa lately. Nakikita ko lang siya sa news, pero hindi ko siya nakakausap." Barretto and Santiago are in a custody battle over their two children, after the actress accused her husband of "physical, verbal, psychological, and even economical" abuse. Of the controversial tiff between the couple, Pascual said, "Syempre prayers lang. Lahat naman nadadaan sa dasal. But I don't think I'm in the position to comment about it.

Cameras set to roll for Piolo-Toni movie

MANILA – Cameras are finally set to roll for the upcoming movie of Toni Gonzaga and Piolo Pascual, who first worked together in a television commercial back in 2001. Speaking to “The Buzz” on Sunday, Gonzaga said playing the role of Pascual’s leading lady has been one of her dreams because she got her showbiz breaks after starring with him in a popular beverage ad. “Magshu-shoot na kami ng Piolo movie. First time, 13 years ago, I started out as a fan sa commercial and then now makakasama ko na siya sa isang pelikula as a leading lady,” she said. Gonzaga said she admires Pascual because he hasn’t changed a bit since she first met him. “Isa sa mga napansin ko na hindi ko makakalimutan, ang first impression ko sa kanya napaka-humble niya. Wala siyang special treatment. Up to now ganun pa rin siya. Mahusay siya makisama,” she said. Talk about a movie with Gonzaga and Pascual first surfaced in late 2011. The two Kapamilya stars, however, were given separate projects since then. Gonzaga’s last movie was the box-office hit “Four Sisters and A Wedding,” while Pascual’s latest film is the acclaimed “On The Job.”

Piolo open to doing foreign projects

MANILA – Actor Piolo Pascual would not mind temporarily leaving his career in the Philippines if given a chance to work on a project outside the country. “Pero siguro hindi naman forever kang aalis. Doon lang sa pagkakataon na iyon. If there’s a chance to do something outside, sa tenure lang na iyon [aalis] and then babalik ulit,” Pascual told “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda on Sunday. The topic was brought up after Abunda hypothetically asked Pascual if he also wants to pursue an international career after his film “On The Job” (OTJ) received raves at the recent Cannes International Film Festival. The crime thriller, which also stars Gerald Anderson, received a standing ovation during its screening in Cannes. The Erik Matti-directed film was among the selections of the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs or the Directors' Fortnight, a section at Cannes held independently by the French Directors Guild. In "OTJ," Pascual portrays a National Bureau of Investigation agent whose job puts him at odds with his wife (Shaina Magdayao). Anderson, meanwhile, takes on the role of a "hitman" on the run. However, Pascual stressed that there is no offer for him to do any projects outside the country contrary to rumors. New inspiration? Meanwhile, Pascual shared where he currently draws inspiration. “Nandito ang anak ko. Kasama ko siya every day. Ito lang ang time namin together kapag summer sa States. Para ko siyang anino. Kasama ko siya kahit saan, nagkakahiwalay lang kami kapag nasa banyo kami,” he said. Saying he is not in a relationship at the moment, Pascual said he is more than happy to spend all of his free time with his son. “Talagang I’m excited spending time with him kasi iba ang bonding time ng mag-ama. I really treasure that, I value that,” he said. Pascual’s last relationship was with actress KC Concepcion. While he has remained single since he and Concepcion broke up, Pascual has been linked to actress Shaina Magdayao, although both have denied reports of a blossoming romance.

Piolo's son also wants to join showbiz

MANILA, Philippines -- Actor Piolo Pascual on Thursday vowed to support the dreams of his son Iñigo, who has signified his desire to follow his father's footsteps in show business. "Hindi ko alam kung saan niya nga nakuha 'yon, pero gustong-gusto niyang mag-artista," Pascual said as he renewed his contract with ABS-CBN. Pascual was accompanied by Inigo, who is currently in the country for a vacation. "Susuportahan natin 'yan bata, anak mo 'yan. Kahit anong gawin niya kapag dumating sa punto na kailangan niyang mag-decide for his own, you just have to be there to support," Pascual added. The "Apoy sa Dagat" actor said his only condition is for his son to finish his studies first before pursuing a showbiz career. "Our only deal is for him to at least finish high school," Pascual said, noting that his son is active in his school's theater program. "So, I guess he's been bitten by the bug kasi nagmu-musical siya -- 'Godspell' -- and for this school year, he's gearing up for the next school play. Hindi natin mapipigilan," he said. "That's the only deal I have with him. Kapag 18 na 'yan, hindi mo na mapipigilan 'yan. If you ask me, of course, I want him to finish college first so he will have a degree, something to fall back on. Iba 'yung kahit paano may knowledge ka. Kahit paano marunong kang humarap sa tao na may nalalaman ka," he explained. Pascual said that he is planning to celebrate Father's Day with his only child after "ASAP 18."

Piolo welcomes Judy Ann reunion

MANILA, Philippines -- Piolo Pascual is happy to welcome back former "love team" Judy Ann Santos as the "Queen of Pinoy Soap Opera." The 35-year-old actress is set to topbill her 10th soap opera in 25 years with the drama series "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala," which is set to premiere on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida block on June 17. The upcoming TV series, which also stars Sam Milby and KC Concepcion, is seen as Santos' drama comeback after headlining "Habang May Buhay" in 2010. "I'm happy she's going to have a soap again," Pascual told reporters on Tuesday, shortly before he left for the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival. "Ang tagal nating hinintay 'yan. Queen of Soap Opera 'yan e, kaya magandang mapanood ulit si Judai sa primetime," the actor said. Reunion? Pascual, whose on-screen tandem with Santos is considered as one of local showbiz's most successful, last worked with the actress in 2006 in the film "Don't Give Up On Us" and the TV series "Sa Piling Mo." In the same year, Pascual and Santos' then-boyfriend Ryan Agoncillo figured in a controversial tiff, leading to the falling out between Pascual and his "love team" partner of several years. A year later, both camps reportedly settled their differences. Santos, however, has expressed hesitation to be paired again with Pascual in a project. "Hindi ako makasabi ng oo, hindi ako makasabi ng hindi," Santos said in November last year, referring to reprising her tandem with Pascual. "Hindi ko rin talaga alam kung ano na yung magiging plano. Anything can happen... but not this year, not in two years," she said. Asked on Tuesday if he is still willing to work again with Santos, Pascual said, "I've always been open, alam naman ni Judai 'yon. Walang problema." Ongoing series Currently, the 36-year-old actor is paired on the small screen with actress Angelica Panganiban in the TV series "Apoy sa Dagat." "Maganda, pabigat nang pabigat [ang 'Apoy sa Dagat'], kasi we're more than midway through [the series now], kaya pabigat nang pabigat ang mga eksena," Pascual said. He admitted that taping for the series has become increasingly tiring, "pero at the same time nakakataba ng puso pag nalalaman mong naaapprecaite ng mga tao 'yung [ginagawa] mo." Pascual added: "We're thankful and we're grateful sa mga nakakapanood ng 'Apoy sa Dagat.'"

Shaina Magdayao on Piolo Pascual: ‘Mas nagiging mabuting magkaibigan pa kaming dalawa’

Nabanggit ni Boy Abunda sa interview niya kay Shaina Magdayao na napansin ng marami na parang ibang Shaina na ang humaharap ngayon sa camera, parang mas palaban na kumpara sa dati. Natawa lamang ang aktres at sinabi na nagkaroon lamang siya ng kumpyansa sa sarili dahil sa mga pinagdaanang unos sa kanyang buhay. “Mas sure lang ako sa sarili ko. Confidence lang ang naidagdag sa kin pero pareho pa din.” Nang tanungin kung tungkol ba ito sa buhay pag-ibig tulad ng sinasabing pagtatangi sa kanya ng aktor na si Sam Milby, ay napangiti si Shaina. Ayaw daw niya magsalita sa bagay na ito. “Pero mas maganda po kung si Sam yung ano, yung magsalita. Pero nagpapasalamat ako na naappreciate nila ako.” Nagbigay naman ng mensahe si Piolo Pascual na napapabalitang special someone niya ngayon sa pagkakaroon ni Shaina ng mga bagong proyekto tulad ng “Juan Dela Cruz” at pelikula sa Star Cinema kasama sina Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga at Angel Locsin. “Shai is really blossoming into a beautiful woman. She is very matured sa edad niyang yun, nakita ko talaga yung growth niya, not just as a performer but also as a person. Shaina what can I say, may bago kang show, of course congratulations sa Juan Dela Cruz. You’re a beautiful person, inside and out. Thanks for the friendship and thanks for always being there for me. Just keep on wowing everyone with your performances and I’ll always be here for you. Alam mo yan.” Nagpasalamat ang dalaga sa narinig at sinabing nagiging mas mabuti pa ang samahan nila ni Piolo. “Maraming, maraming salamat sa napakagandang mensahe , Papa P. He’s always been a good friend naman to me. At ngayon nga mas nagiging mabuting magkaibigan pa kaming dalawa. At nagpapasalamat din talaga ko na mas gusto pa niya ako makilala.” Naging mas malapit ang dalawa dahil na din sa pelikulang “OTJ” kung saan ginampanan ni Shaina ang papel ng asawa ni Piolo. Mas matured na Shaina din daw ang mapapanood dito dahil parang ang love scene daw nila ni Piolo ang highlight ng kanyang pag-cameo sa movie. “Parang ang partisipasyon ko lang ata ay ang love scene naming dalawa…Pinaka…wala na ata akong matatago kina Direk at tsaka kina Papa P habang ginagawa yun. Lakas na lang ng loob sabi ko eto nay un daanin ko na lang po sa confidence.” Samantala masaya naman daw si Shaina sa pagkakasama niya sa “Juan Dela Cruz” at makakatrabaho na niya sa wakas si Coco Martin. Isa daw “honor” ang makasama sa isang serye si Coco dahil isa ito sa magaling na aktor sa industriya ngayon. Nagpasalamat din si Shaina sa management ng ABS-CBN dahil ipinagkatiwala sa kanya ang mga bago niyang proyekto.

Shaina Magdayao on Piolo Pascual: ‘Natutuwa lang ako at naa-appreciate niya ako’

May pag-agam-agam sa pananalita ni Shaina Magdayao nang tanungin siya noong March 12 tungkol sa madalas nilang “bonding” ni Piolo Pascual. Kahapon kasi ay nag-story conference para sa upcoming movie ni Shaina kasama sina Angel Locsin, Bea Alonzo, Enchong Dee at Toni Gonzaga. “Hindi ko talaga… ayokong bigyan ng malisya kung anumang friendship meron kami [ni Piolo],” simula ni Shaina. “But I just want to say thank you dahil naa-appreciate niya ako bilang tao.” Dagdag pa ng dalaga, hindi raw maganda na sa kanya manggaling ang pagbubunyag kung ano ang estado ng kanilang “relasyon.” “Parang pangit na pangunahan or pangit na bigyan ng malisya ‘yung friendship na ibinibigay niya sa akin. Natutuwa lang ako at naa-appreciate niya ako,” pa-safe niyang sagot. 

Nauna rito, sa isang interview ay kinumpirma naman ni Piolo na nagkakasama sila ni Shaina sa mga aktibidad kagaya ng jogging, badminton at yoga. “Kalma muna ako, makikinig muna ako sa lahat,” ani Shaina nang tanungin kung ready na ba siyang magkarelasyon. “I really just want to enjoy para magaan lang ang buhay ko. Working, exercising… lahat ng taong nakapaligid sa akin ngayon magaan kasama.” Bukod pa rito, ipinahayag din ni Sam Milby ang kanyang paghanga kay Shaina, pero sa ngayon ay wala pang balitang pinopormahan na ni Sam ang aktres. Ang tugon ni Shaina, “Alam n’yo nahihiya ako na sa akin manggaling… sa babae manggagaling [ang pagsasabi kung ano na ang estado ng relasyon] but nakaka-overwhelm din siya kasi di ko talaga ine-expect na maa-appreciate nila ako or gugustuhin nila akong kilalanin pa, at they’re good men. Masarap silang kausap, mabuti silang kaibigan. Hindi naman kami lahat ngayon lang nagkakilala… dati pa magkakaibigan na kami.” Nang direkta siyang usisain kung sino kina Sam at Piolo ang mas matimbang para sa kanya, ang sagot ng dalaga, “Ayoko ngang bigyan ng malisya kung anuman ang ipinapakita nila ngayon. Right now I’m just going to appreciate ‘yung friendship na naibibigay nila sa akin at appreciation na ipinapakita nila sa akin. Ayokong isipin or ayokong sa akin manggaling… nagpapasalamat lang ako.”

 Ang last boyfriend ni Shaina ay si John Lloyd Cruz na karelasyon naman ngayon ni Angelica Panganiban na dating kaibigan ni Shaina. Sinabi ni Shaina na sa ngayon ay wala nang galit sa kanyang puso sa tulong ng paglipas ng panahon. “’Yun ang una kong dinasal, ‘yun ang una mong idadasal, na mawala ‘yon [sakit sa dibdib at galit]. Di ka makakapag-fully move on kung andun ‘yon sa puso mo,” aniya. Masasabi raw ni Shaina sa kasalukuyan na buo na ang paghilom ng kanyang puso. “You have to be free from it, from all the negativity para maging totoong masaya ka,” aniya. Gayunpaman dahil sa kanyang failed relationship in the past ay mas maingat na raw siya bago pumasok sa relasyon. “Gusto mong mas ingatan ang puso mo this time around, but basta nae-enjoy ko lang lahat ng nangyayari.”

Piolo Pascual denies he and Shaina Magdayao are more than friends

Despite the high ratings of the primetime teleserye Apoy Sa Dagat, Piolo Pascual explained that their team cannot be too complacent about their show’s success. “You can never rest on your laurels in anything that you do,” he began in an interview last March 7 at the ABS-CBN Summer Station ID shoot. The other cast members of Apoy Sa Dagat include Angelica Panganiban and Diether Ocampo.

 “You always have to step up and level up, otherwise pag naging complacent ka mahirap [kasi] mahahalata… so it’s a bonus na tangkilikin ‘yung show, it’s a bonus [na] mag-rate ‘yung show, [but] it doesn’t end there.” The actor related that with the hard work they put into the project, many of them are getting sick. “Si Angelica nagkasakit na, so kailangang magtrabaho… otherwise wala kaming ipapalabas. I guess it’s a team effort. Siguro ‘yung pinakamagandang naidudulot ng ratings o feedback is we’re more excited to go to work, we’re more excited to just do what we have to do because we know na napapanood kami, not because napupulahan, di nagugustuhan, but because alam namin na pati mga tao nakikisunod sa istorya. We’re more inspired actually,” he explained.

 Meantime, the actor was also asked about recently being seen with Shaina Magdayao. The two have been lately spotted frequently together, which made some people start thinking that there might be something romantic going on between the two. “Okay naman, okay naman kami… we’re friends. Ah… ang dami naming mga ginagawa, kung ano-ano. Ang tawag namin sa pinaggagagawa namin ‘pagbabakulaw’; takbo, badminton, Bikram [yoga], it’s fun…” Piolo explained. He also clarified that there is nothing romantic going on between them. 

“We’re okay. There are things na you don’t…there are things you just let to happen. For now, Shai and I are good friends.” Piolo and Shaina are both in the indie movie On The Job or OTJ, which also stars Gerald Anderson. Piolo and Shaina have worked together in projects like Lobo (2008) and Marinella {1999). Both are Star Magic artists. “Now lang siguro mas nagkakaroon kami ng more time kasi nga we’re into [the] same sports, we’re in the same activities,” Piolo added. It doesn’t bother him that other people may think that he and Shaina are beginning to become more than friends.

 He continued that some people always have something to say about what they see and they will always have an opinion. Piolo admitted that it is sometimes a good idea not to read news about himself. “May iba na nagsusulat na nakaka-offend. There are things you just want to keep to yourself para ma-prevent ka rin ng mga nakaka-offend na mga bagay,” he said. “Even for Shai, I want her to be able to… di mo rin maiaalis kasi showbiz tayo… pero siyempre gusto ko rin na maprotektahan din siya.”
