Papa P-ositivity
There is a Piolo Pascual way of coping
with stress and it’s kinda familiar. Find out.
Piolo Pascual has a lot in his
hands these days. These include the
TV shows “Home Sweetie Home”
and “Since I Found You,” and his
personal commitment to the Marawi
Advocacy spearheaded by Robin Pa-
dilla.
Well, he’s been like this for years
now. And, still, no sign of burnout.
Really?
“Hindi lang halata, masayahin
lang ako,” Piolo said. “Tao lang tayo.
Lalo kapag 20 years ka na sa indus-
triya at araw-araw ka nagta-trabaho
(mararamdaman mo yan minsan).”
He thanks ABS-CBN and his
manager for allowing him breaks
after every project. “It’s not as if we
are asked to work as slaves,” he said.
“We are here to do our job but we
also have our down time where we
can enjoy our private time out of
work.”
So, how does Papa P. cope with
stress and pressure?
“Natutulog po ako,” he laughed.
“Para makare-energize, makare-
charge at makabawi. And pray,
we do that every day – morn-
ing and night just to keep our
heads straight.”
Recently, Piolo’s co-star
in “The Breakup Playlist,”
Sarah Geronimo, had an
emotional breakdown while
performing at Las Vegas. Lat-
er, the singer would say she
was just tired.
Nevertheless,
the actor ex-
pressed his sup-
port for her.
“We get
tired. We get
physically
exhausted,
we’re only human, and we’re entitled
to that. Bilang tao, bilang artista we
have moments like that when we feel
the burnout, but nasa tao naman yan
eh.”
Piolo is tall, handsome, talented,
and a man with a good heart. Many
people see him as someone perfect.
Does that pressure him?
“Hindi, not at all. I mean not for
anything but I’ve come to the point
in my life when I shrug my shoul-
ders when there are things going on
around me, just focus on the good
things and stay positive,” the actor
said.
“Sabi nga, ‘pikon talo.’ Mag-fo-
cus ka na lang sa magagandang ba-
gay for you to be able to appreciate
life better.”
Piolo is the latest ambassador
of Hype, a transport service that al-
lows passengers to book through
SMS for free.
The actor was chosen primar-
ily for his wholesome image which
translates to credibility.
“Piolo is across all ages kasi.
Even the millennials kasi if you
ask them, they still know
Piolo and I think it’s a good
time also kasi meron siya
ngayong teleserye, right?”
said Hype Chief Operating
Officer (COO) Jennifer Silan
The app, available on the
App Store and Play Store by
May 27, also offers Emer-
gency SOS. Can people
SOS Piolo?
“Pwede naman!
Ibigay ko ‘yung num-
ber ko (sa Hype),” the
actor said in jest. ●
