Piolo Pascual has turned down all offers to do TV dramas, but promised to be more visible on the big screen, both as an actor and film producer.
“I’m staying away from soaps because I want to be able to do more with my time,” he said.
According to the 42-year-old actor, he is at a point in his life where he is “discovering how else I can use my celebrity status to help the industry.”
By this, he meant starring in or producing more movies via Spring Films, which he coowns with filmmaker Joyce Bernal and businessman Erickson Raymundo.
While he admitted to have considered retiring, Piolo is now saying: “I’ve changed my mind. There are so many things I can still do. There’s no point in retiring. I’m living it one day at a time. I’m thrilled with the idea of creating new films. We’re taking advantage of the fact that there are so many concepts being pitched to us, all of them new and interesting.”
To mark its 10th anniversary, Spring Films is expected to release 13 movies in 2019, starting with the commercial release of James Robin Mayo’s “Kuya Wes” on March 13. Ogie Alcasid plays the titular role.
