Claiming that he’s ready for father roles at this point in his life and career, Piolo Pascual says his new TV series proves he’s ready to move on from romantic dramas from here on.
The country’s leading actor plays father to Zaijan Jaranilla, the star of “May Bukas Pa” in which he was known throughout the world as the miracle wonder boy Santino. Zaijan’s partnership with Piolo in an adventure drama set in the great outdoors and forests of Subic is expected to strengthen their hold on the primetime block starting Monday, July 12.
In an interview, Piolo said Zaijan reminded him of his US-based son, Iñigo. Zaijan, on the other hand, had other ideas in mind.
By now, Piolo must be realizing that working with children, next to animals like dogs, is one of the hardest acts among actors. One never knows what they’ll say or do, on and off-camera.
With his recent statements to media, Zaijan has been proving to be a challenge to Piolo, who’s generally known to be mild-mannered and kind.
When Zaijan was quoted recently by reporters as saying he didn’t want Piolo for a father, it didn’t mean he had no love or respect for his co-actor. He was probably caught off-guard as he answered outright and without as much as a second thought.
Bear in mind also that children are children. They can say the darn-dest, the craziest things without fear or favor. Then again, one must consider. How old is Zaijan Jaranilla? He’s past 12 years old, and no longer really a tot.
One must also understand the context in which Zaijan’s answer must be taken. The boy merely answered a hypothetical question, a favorite fare among some reporters. It wasn’t as if he floated the idea himself out of nowhere, far and away from the fictional island of Noah itself.
