Piolo Pascual not thinking of retirement yet: ‘Not anytime soon hopefully’
Piolo Pascual admitted that the thought of retirement hasn’t crossed his mind yet.
In an interview with MJ Marfori and other local media, the actor said that he wants to continue being part of the entertainment industry and the evolution of Philippine cinema.
“Not [retiring] anytime soon hopefully. I hope I get to be part of the revolution of Philippine cinema. We’re part again of the MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival), MIFF (Manila International Film Festival). And MMFF is celebrating again its 50th year so to be part of that, you’re a clear representation of the industry, so I want to be part of that,” he said.
The actor is also looking forward to being part of more projects from the Philippines for the global audience.
“With MIFF, I hope that there are more projects or more films that we can showcase to the world to really just empower us, to have something that we can be proud of as Filipinos,” he said.
Piolo will be part of this year’s MMFF entry The Kingdom alongside Vic Sotto.
On working with Vic, Piolo admitted that he thinks he would get starstruck working with him.
“I grew up kasi watching him and for me to be acting alongside with a cinematic icon, kailangan kong tanggalin ang pagka-fan ko so I have to deal with it and cross the bridge when I’m already there because we have a lot of scenes together,” he said.
The Kingdom will be an epic drama film according to Piolo. It’s directed by Michael Tuviera from APT Entertainment.
“When [Michael] pitched this concept to Bossing (Vic) he said yes right away. When he pitched it to me a couple of days later, I said yes. Within weeks we were doing pre-production, so it just fell into place. I mean, we’re both busy but if there is a project that you can work on and make things happen to make it happen, it will happen.”
He added: “I thought hindi ako magfi-film fest this year because I did so much last year pero nung pumasok, okay trabaho tayo sa Pasko.”
Aside from Vic, Piolo will be working in the film with Sue Ramirez, Cristine Reyes, and Sid Lucero, among others.
When asked if he has plans to venture into politics in the future, Piolo said that it is not a path that he is considering of pursuing.
“I don’t think nasa fate ko siya or nasa trajectory siya ng buhay ko. Pero if you’re going to ask me right now, it’s a hard no,” he stated.
