Piolo Pascual on Judy Ann Santos: ‘Siya ‘yung isang tao sa past ko na hindi ko malayuan pero hindi ko rin malapitan’!

Piolo Pascual revisits the classic songs of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s in his latest album Decades under Star Records. During the press launch of his latest musical project, Piolo was asked if there was anyone in his past that he cannot be with for some reason. The Ultimate Heartthrob was honest enough to say that he really misses his former leading lady Judy Ann Santos. “Huwag na nating palakihin pa ‘to. Pero pinagkakautangan ko ng malaking utang na loob si Judy Ann. Siya talaga ‘yung nakasama ko nang matagal. Siya ‘yung isang tao sa pastko na hindi ko malayuan pero hindi ko rin malapitan.”



Piolo further explained why he chooses to keep his distance from Judy Ann. “May asawa na kasi siya kaya baka magka-conflict lang. May mga sasabihin ang mga tao, mga judgment and all. Mabuti nang umiwas na lang ako sa intriga. Alam naman ninyo na nagka-conflict kami before. Mabuti na ‘yung ganito na magkakaibigan na kaming lahat, wala na kaming problema ni Ryan (Agoncillo, husband of Judy Ann), okayna kami ni Judai. Let’s leave it at that.”

While Judy Ann is enjoying her married life, Piolo remains a bachelor but the actor-singer confessed that being single at 32 can be tough sometimes. “Mage-eight years na akong single. A few days ago nasa La Concordia ako and sabi sa akin nung principal, ‘Mag-asawa ka na’ at sabi ko naman, ‘Bakit?’ Naisip ko, ‘Bakit niyo ba ako pinipilit mag-asawa?’”

Piolo explained that despite the pressure from the public, he wants to take his time to meet the perfect woman. “At my age gusto ko kapag nag-settle down ako wala nang ibang kahati, ‘yung tipong wala na akong iisiping trabaho but just ‘yung to spend time with the woman I love. Kung sa sarili ko nga halos wala na akong oras paano pa kaya kapag nagka-relationship ako. Hindi biro ang commitment lalo na ang kasal.”

For now, Piolo wants to enjoy every moment that he is on top of his game in showbiz. “Sa ngayon kasi masyado akong busy. Ilang taon na rin akong kayod-kabayo. Gusto ko kapag nagpakasal ako perfect na lahat. Gusto ko munang i-savor ‘yung mga nalalabing panahon para sa akin dito sa industriya. Hindi pa naman ako ganun katanda para matakot na hindi makapag-asawa.” But when asked if he is giving his bachelorhood a deadline, he said, “I hope hindi naman ako umabot ng 40 years old na wala pang asawa.”
