PAANO KITA IIBIGIN (tentative release date in MAY 2007 – a romance-drama to be directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal – co-production of STAR/VIVA - with Regine Velasquez)

PEX THREAD: http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202046

Starstudio Magazine January 2007 issue

SECOND CHANCES. A tale of two people who deal with problems in different ways. The woman (Regine), whose husband left her for another woman, chooses to be hysterically happy. The man (Piolo), who lost his girlfriend and best friend in a car accident, would rather wallow in depression. These unlucky individuals might just get a second chance at love when they meet at his resort.

MUCH-AWAITED. A Piolo-Regine movie has long been in the pipeline ever since they starred in a top-rating episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya years ago. There were talks that it would be a musical, but that idea has long been scrapped. The concept came from Regine. “Siya ang nag-pitch ng kuwento na tungkol sa isang lalaking mahirap mahalin, yung biglang nawawala, biglang bumibitaw,” Direk Joyce reveals. Regine’s character will be different from the romantic heroines she’s played in the past. “For the first time, she will be a mother to a six-year-old son and there’s going to be a bit more drama,” says screenwriter Mel del Rosario.

DREAM PROJECT. Direk Joyce is neck-deep into the preparations. When we spoke with her, she had been to Batangas and La Union to search for the perfect resort that would be a major location of the film. She was also doing interviews with psychologists and people who lost loved ones to better understand the psychology of grief. She sighs, “Hanggang sa panaginip ko, naisisip ko ang project na ito.”

CHOPSUEY (a full-length digital film) (NO RELEASE DATE YET)

Inquirer - Dolly Anne Carvajal

Piolo Pascual is wrapping up his first full-length digital film “Chopsuey” under Gee Entertainment Production. It’s about a Chinoy family beset with tragedies. Piolo’s role is challenging because he has to show what it’s like to be extremely depressed without much dialogue. His soulful eyes will do most of the talking.

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

April 30, 2007 05:17 PM Monday
People's Journal
By: Remy Umerez

PIOLO Pascual is certainly not just a pretty face. Since he headlined “Lagarista” in 2000, he has been winning acclaim from critics and trophies from many award-giving bodies. Among his many career highlights is the coveted grand slam of the best supporting actor award for his absorbing performance in “Dekada 70.” In “Milan,” he ran away with the FAMAS best actor award.

Over the past few years, Piolo has quietly become one of the hottest-selling recording artists in the country. He has also conquered the concert stage starting with his 2004 solo debut “My Gift” and succeeded by “Heartthrobs” back-to-back concert with Sam Milby.

Piolo is seen again with Claudine Barretto in “Walang Kapalit.” He plays Noel who finds himself unwillingly falling for his stepsister Melanie. Piolo proves that underneath the image of a multi-media star lies a true actor.

On the big screen, Piolo is paired for the first time opposite Regine Velasquez in the big drama event of the year, “Paano Kita Iibigin.” The project almost took three years in the making due to numerous revisions and finalizing who will direct it. Finally, the directorial task was given to Bb. Joyce

When Cosmopolitan magazine decides to celebrate, it does so with a bang!

For its 10th year in the Philippine market, Cosmo—as the mag has come to be called hereabouts—runs a delicious double cover: KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual. It's the first double cover for the leading women's magazine.

Mega-daughter KC Concepcion was long on the wishlist of Cosmo for its anniversary cover, but the staff was just about ready to give up since she was based in Paris and a shoot schedule was difficult to fix.

As luck would have it, KC flew back to Manila for a much-needed vacation, and within that short span of time she gamely posed for the Cosmo cover. Find out what endearingly inspiring thing she'll be doing next. Plus, read about her super kilig updates!

On the flipside of this issue is the handsome Piolo Pascual, marking the first time that a man has graced the cover of Cosmo's Philippine edition. The rise to stardom was not so easy for Piolo, who actually began in showbiz as a gangly 15-year-old in That's Entertainment. Piolo talks about the steady rise to the top after he came back from the United States, and answers all the scandals and allegations thrown his way.

Ever wonder what goes on during a typical day of your favorite celebrities? Find out through an "Informer Exclusive." We tag along with Iza Calzado and we learn that she's even more adorable that we thought and that there are at least ten reasons why she's like the rest of us anyway. Cosmo also spends a day with Christian Bautista, and finds out that he's just as real as the guy next door—but ten times more crushable!

The May issue of Cosmo is definitely steaming hot as your favorite Cosmo Centerfolds bare their to-die-for bodies! Feast your eyes on Dennis Trillo, Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo, Luis Manzano, Rafael Rosell, Enchong Dee, Jay-R, Marc Nelson, Jon Hall, Victor Basa, and Will Devaughn—all in various states of undress!

Make sure to grab your copy of the anniversary issue of cosmopolitan magazine—with more than 350 pages, it's the thickest ever! A collector's item, it's a bible that no young Pinay should be caught without!

===

Three reasons why cosmopolitan magazine must be in in our must-buy list this month:
(1) It's the thickest magazine to date—with 350 pages of stories, articles, and photos celebrating 10 years of fun and fearless femininity;
(2) For the first time in 10 years, a handsome hunk—none other than Piolo Pascual—graces the cover;
(3) It features a double-cover—KC Concepcion on one side and Piolo on the other.

CONVERSATIONS With Ricky Lo
The Philippine Star 01/14/2007

I HATE PEOPLE...

Piolo: ...who have no respect for others.

I AVOID PEOPLE...

Piolo:...who try to take advantage of me, who kind of use you.

MY GREATEST PLEASURE IS...

Piolo:...spending time with The Lord. Also, spending time with my family, or even simple gatherings with them. (Piolo’s mom and sister flew in from the US to celebrate his 30th birthday last Friday, Jan. 12. – RFL)

MY WORST MOMENT IS...

Piolo:...oh gosh, it’s too embarrassing to tell...too embarrassing actually. Too disgusting! It happened when I was in high school. Oh no, I’m too embarrassed to recall what it was. Okay, among my worst moments is when I forget the lines of a song that I’m singing.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS...

Piolo:...losing my loved ones.

I PRAY BY...

Piolo:...talking directly to The Lord. I talk to Him as if He’s just beside me, like I would talk to a friend of mine. Also, by singing. (According to the book Powerful Prayers by Larry King, any song that has a spiritual message – such as I Say a Little Prayer For You, I Believe, My Prayer and the like – is a form of prayer. – RFL)

THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE IS...

Piolo:...Jesus!

IF I WERE TO BE REINCARNATED AS AN ANIMAL...

Piolo:...I would be a dog. Dogs are like human beings. They can even be more loyal than human beings. They take care of you and your home.

MY MOST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE WAS...

Piolo:...when my sister figured in an accident last year and I didn’t know if she was okay or not. I saw her at the hospital and I was scared. I was terribly afraid of losing her.

I DEAL WITH GOSSIP BY...

Piolo:...not really ignoring it but looking at it as part of the business.

THE ONE THING I CAN’T DO WITHOUT IS...

Piolo:...The Bible.

AM I AFRAID OF GROWING OLD?

Piolo:...No, I’m not. I’m excited, actually. It’s something I look forward to.

THE TYPE OF GIRLS WHO TURN ME ON...

Piolo:...are the simple ones. Those who are faithful to God and who have self-respect. Traditional girls.

I LOST MY INNOCENCE TO...

Piolo:...Pass! I refuse to answer that.

MY PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE IS...

Piolo:...let go and let God. That has been my motto, my guiding principle, as far as I can remember.

I LOSE MY TEMPER WHEN...

Piolo:...I lack sleep and someone is annoying me or talking too much.

WHEN I’M ALONE IN MY ROOM I FANTASIZE ABOUT...

Piolo:...I won’t say it’s really fantasizing, but what takes so much of my time is thinking about The Lord and how I can serve Him better...spending time talking to Him and being sensitive to whatever it is He wants me to do.

IF I WERE SOMEBODY ELSE I’D BE...

Piolo:...the President (of the Philippines) so I can reform the country.

MY NEW YEAR’s RESOLUTION IS...

Piolo:...to be more compassionate, to have more time to spend with The Lord, to do more quality movies and shows

[fujiapple]

Piolo Jose Pascual was born January 12, 1977. The son of a Filipino mother and a German-Spanish father, he is the youngest of six children.
Piolo always wanted to be an actor. His father, Philip, was a casting director for international films shot in the Philippines. "I don't know if that influenced me," says Piolo, "but even when I was really young, I'd go in front of the mirror, act and sing."
Piolo's first TV appearance was in Kuya Germs Moreno's "That's Entertainment." After high school he went to UST, where he studied Physical therapy and joined the UST theater group, Teatro Tomasino. He landed a part on the children's show Atbp and was chosen as a member of ABS-CBN's Star Circle, Batch 3. But before his career had a chance to take off at home, Piolo decided to move to the US. For a year he lived with his mom in California, working in a hospital and at other jobs to support himself while going on acting auditions. Although he didn't land any big parts, while in L.A. he participated in acting workshops where he learned a lot about his craft.
Upon his return to the Philippines a year later, things started to fall into place for Piolo and he began to realize his lifelong dream of becoming an actor. He was cast as Raffy in the ABS-CBN miniseries "Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako," with the popular Judy Ann Santos, and got further exposure in "Esperanza," again with Juday. With his boyish good looks, he soon became a teen idol. While Piolo enjoyed his newfound heartthrob status, he did not want to remain "just another pretty face," with his performances limited to light TV fare. He was serious about his acting and wanted to take on more challenging roles.
He soon got his chance to prove himself as a serious actor when he landed his first starring movie role in "Lagarista." He character, Gregory, was a biker who transported movie reels from one theater to another. His love interest was played by Janna Victoria. Piolo felt a lot of pressure to turn in his best performance, since this was his first major film, and his hard work paid off. The Philippine Daily Inquirer proclaimed in its Aug. 6, 2000 issue, "Not a few people who saw 'Lagarista' during the celebrity premiere last Tuesday have expressed belief that its lead actor, Piolo Pascual, will become the next big star in local cinema. He has the glamorous looks and more important, he can act."
In his next movie, "Kahit Isang Saglit," Piolo's character was part of a love triangle with Judy Ann Santos and Leandro Munoz. "With this movie ang naging challenge ko is more of emotions," Piolo explained in an interview. "It is a heavy drama, a story of love." Passionate about acting, Piolo really gives his all when portraying a character, to such an extent that he often feels physically and emotionally drained after shooting a movie.
Piolo's most critically acclaimed movie so far is "Dekada '70." He portrayed Jules Bartolome, a student activist who joined the New People's Army after martial law was declared. Christopher de Leon and Vilma Santos played his parents. Piolo won the Grand Slam for his excellent performance, sweeping all four Best Supporting Actor trophies from the major award-giving bodies: Metro Manila Film Festival, FAMAS, Star Awards, and the prestigious Urian Award.

IF you ask me to rank who among the celebrities are the nicest, Piolo Pascual will definitely be in my Top 10. The young actor is supernice, every inch a gentleman.

Every time I see him, he acts as if I were his long lost daughter. He would flash a smile that could launch 10 million ships and hug me. He would make it a point to compliment something about me...whether it’s my new pair of shoes or my hair (or what’s left of it).

So it’s no surprise that Regine Velasquez, his leading lady in his new movie for Star Cinema, titled Paano Kita Iibigin, has been open about her crush on the young actor. We talked to Piolo about Regine and many more..........


Tell me about your new movie, Paano Kita Iibigin?
It’s a love story about Lance and Martee. I play Lance, a resort owner who initially clashes with Martee, who is played by Regine, because they have different views in life. Of course, they fall for each other but there are a lot of factors to consider before the two can live happily ever after.

How was it working with Regine? I’ve been told that you have a lot of kissing scenes in the movie....
(Laughs) She’s very great to work with. And, yup, that’s true—we do have a lot of kissing scenes.


Did you have to ask anyone’s permission from Regine’s side for you to do those passionate scenes?
None! (Chuckles) Anyway, those scenes are essential (to the story)—and Regine is very professional. What’s needed to be done, she delivers. Sometimes she doesn’t need prodding or coaxing. That’s how prepared she is.

How about you. Did you have to ask anyone’s permission?
None! (Laughs)

How is she as an actress?
People think Regine is more of a singer than an actress but I think she’s great in both. She’s a thinking actress. She wants everything she does onscreen to have a reason. She reacts instinctively but you can see that there’s a reason why she’s reacting that way.

Based on the trailer, people say you have great chemistry.
Thank you very much. We really worked hard on the movie and I’m so happy that as early as now, we’ve been getting good feedback.

How do you compare your tandem with Regine to that with Judy Ann Santos?
It’s hard. You can’t pinpoint what makes my tandem with Judy Ann work. Same thing with Regine. Me, I’m just positive people will enjoy the movie because we’re very proud of it. You can’t plan chemistry but I’m so glad that many people say that we do have it.

There’s something very different about you now. It seems like you’re glowing.
Well, despite my schedule I make sure I still take time to enjoy the finer things in life. I know it’s cliché but it’s true. It has helped me to appreciate God’s blessings more. He has given me a lot and I know I can’t complain anymore because of the abundance. And taking time to reflect of His goodness make my very busy schedule all worthwhile

THE PLATINUM RECORDING ARTIST & ROMANTIC BALLADEER

One of Piolo’s roles as an entertainer is that of a singer. The dashing actor- turned-singer swept even more women off their feet when he started hitting the right notes with ballads and love songs a few years ago. Piolo is pretty psyched about the release of the soundtrack to his movie Paano kita Iibigin. “It was like a dream come true, I’ve always wanted to make a soundtrack album for a movie I starred in,” he said.

Even though he’s had his fair share of platinum and gold record hits before, Piolo intends to explore the music industry even further and make his own mark in the near future, and he plans to do that by producing his very own album by November this year. “The album will consist of songs which are very close to my heart,” he said with a smile.

The music will be an “out-of-the-box” mixture of Christian songs, rock, ballad and pop. He also wrote the lyrics of some songs that will be included in the album. The very busy star was also all smiles when he disclosed that he will be having his first solo concert at the Araneta Coliseum this November, after finishing his tour in the United States.

Piolo Pascual remains Kapamilya’s top draw

By Isah V. Red

Despite efforts to crush Piolo Pascual to smithereens by certain quarters who can’t bear to see this actor’s popularity soaring higher and higher, the guys over at ABS-CBN are all the more convinced that they have the most powerful ammunition to combat the aggression being waged in print by its competitor.

Piolo’s baffling personality keeps everyone in a state of stupor, and the think tank of other networks throwing darts at his photos unable to find ways to keep the mind of millions of Filipinos from watching TV and movies with him playing the lead roles.

Now, he is back on primetime television, reunited with his Milan leading lady Claudine Barretto. The show is called Walang Kapalit. It is also the newest teleserye on the Kapamilya network.

Known for being one of the handsomest men in Philippine showbiz, Piolo is certainly not just a pretty face. From the time he headlined his launching film Lagarista in 2000, Piolo has been in the top tier of Filipino actors, winning both high acclaim from critics and trophies and citations from many award-giving bodies.

Among his many career highlights are: Dekada ’70, which got him a coveted “Grand Slam” of the Best Supporting Actor awards starting with the Metro Manila Film Festival, and including the Famas, the Star Awards, the Gawad Urian, the Film Academy of the Philippines and the Young Critics’ Circle trophy in 2003; and Milan, where he took home the Famas Best Actor award and racked up nominations from the Star Awards, the Golden Screen Awards and the Gawad Urian. In between, Piolo’s also starred in hits like Don’t Give Up On Us, Dreamboy, ‘Til There Was You, 9 Mornings, Bakit ‘Di Totohanin, and Kahit Isang Saglit.

And it’s not just his work in films that sets Piolo apart. If anything, he’s just as well-loved for his TV work in shows like Sa Piling Mo, Bora, Mangarap Ka, Sa Puso Ko, Iingatan Ka, Buttercup and Esperanza, as well as his weekly hosting stint for ABS-CBN’s Asap ’07.

And the Piolo brand extends to the recording studio and concert stage, as well. Over the past few years, Piolo has quietly become one of the hottest-selling recording artists in the country, with hit records including his debut, Piolo, followed by My Gift, Renditions: Songs of Louie O and Piolo Pascual: Platinum Hits. Most recently, Piolo’s also conquered the concert stage, starting with his 2004 solo debut My Gift, and succeeded most recently by his hit Heartthrobs back-to-back concert alongside Sam Milby.

Four years after Milan, how explosive will his chemistry with Claudine be? And will audiences again fall under the spell of two of the best actors of their generation, paired up again in what promises to be one of the biggest hits of the second quarter of 2007?
