PIOLO PASCUAL EMBRACING THE CHANGE, BECOMING THE CHANGE Actor, singer, and producer, Piolo Pascual, is
breaking the barriers and pushing the boundaries
of the Filipino film world. It is amazing to see this market finally get recognition all around the
world. Full of light and passion, Piolo and I had a wonderful discussion about his projects, music career, what it has been like being a producer and what he hopes to accomplish in the upcoming years! So let’s dive in….
ourselves to have an approach which was more universal.” An opportunity which opened many doors for the Filipino film industry, the actor hopes
to continue “pushing the envelope to show more Filipino films that can be appreciated globally.”
You see, Piolo has been in the game for a while now and being part of the progress and
Recently, he was filming the series “Flower of Evil,” an adaption of the original Korean Drama, alongside the incredible Lovi Poe. Excited to get back into the game of acting after “being on
vacation for two years,” Piolo was thrilled to be working side by side with Lovi Poe who he has
seen grow in the last few years. What peaked his
interest was how grayish his character is: not all
good, but not necessarily all bad either. In order to bring his authentic self to the leading role, Piolo
strayed away from the original character. “If you have certain expectations, and understanding of
the character I guess the spontaneity goes away,” he explained. “At least you have an idea of how the
story will go and end but it's better than knowing how the other actor played the original character.” Playing the lead, there is some challenge here but when the nerves kick in, so does the elevation of
his performance! As he put it, “I always love to challenge myself and walk on eggshells because when I am nervous, I can perform better.”
advancements happening through streaming
platforms and more social exposure has inspired him to continue doing so. “We have been working
on a lot of concepts, there is HBO, AMAZON, it’s a good time. Ironic as it sounds, businesses have shut down but filmmaking is having a renaissance
because there is a demand for more content and the streaming platforms can cater to bigger
audiences,” he explained. Being a producer on this film allowed him to see how the business works from different perspectives.
With not just his name but money on the line, Piolo understands there is risk in this...and he is willing to take those risks. “It’s like taking care of a baby.
As a producer you take care of it all, it’s more challenging but it’s fun for me, it’s a fun game,” he exclaimed. It also allows him to have more
control over what gets put out there and how.
As mentioned earlier, the actor hopes to continue
to take on the global market. “Opening different
ideas , different countries and partnering up with
Before this, he starred in MY AMANDA, a Philippine
romantic drama film. This particular project stood
out for Piolo as not only was he also a producer of the film, it was taken on and streamed by Netflix! “It was a bigger platform for us because we are
only used to just showing it here to the Filipino

audiences,” opened up Piolo. “We took it upon
them to connect more and you know, diversify.
We are an Asian country, not a first world country, so budget wise we are always limited,” he shared
candidly. “We want to be able to really expand the
market so that we can do more films with bigger budgets and connect with more people, more countries.”

conflicts, what first world countries go through,” the audiences want. And when you are trying to
tap into a whole new market, it is important to keep those different needs in mind all the while producing the best content possible. “When you
are doing a film you want to inspire people and do better,” he shared with glistening eyes. “Filipino
films are all about showing poverty, the slums, showing how hard life is and we want to do away
with that and show how good life is, how beautiful it is.”
for promoting his beliefs and sense of purpose. Working on an album filled with duets, he released
his first single last year and hopefully we will see more very soon! Working hard to perfect
his message and melody before performing on stage, Piolo shared laughingly, “I am not getting any younger so I want to be able to do my type
of song.” A mindset he channels both in song and film. “I want to be able to be an instigator for
people to do something better, take bigger risks,
Living and breathing this idea of positivity and beauty, Piolo spoke on the spike of negativity around the world: the “cancel culture”, more
strikes, more judgment and more. The disparity between the rich and poor is becoming greater
and the attitude, overall, seems to be heading
down rather than up. Luckily, there are people such as Piolo who see a brighter future and act
on it both through film and song. “I want to be able to remind them that as long as you're living, that you are breathing, it is a chance to make
things better and not judge people. You want to be able to connect people, integrate the cultures
and just make them more compassionate towards
be more challenged,” he opened up. “At the end
of the day, you are not going to be in your prime forever, so just take advantage of what you have right now.” AGREED!
Piolo Pascual is an inspiration to us all and
reminds us that it is never too late to try new things, better yourself and inspire others to do so as well. Working on more films and songs, he
is on a mission to truly expand the Filipino film
industry on a global scale, something I hope to see with all International films! There is so much beauty across the oceans and people like Piolo
are a reminder of this. Piolo, thank you for being you!
