Piolo Pascual gears up for new projects this 2010!

Piolo Pascual’s first project for 2010 is the special two-part presentation ofMaalaala Mo Kaya where he will be playing the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Piolo during his taping for MMK and he talked about the transformation he went through to look like Ninoy. “In Lovers in Paris, my hair was really short. After ng show hindi muna ako nagpagupit. Hindi muna rin ako nag-shave. When I showed up for the meeting para dito sa MMK, dun na na-plan ‘yung magiging look ko as Ninoy. Mahirap ang magiging look ko dito kasi ang story magspa-span from 17 years old si Ninoy hanggang 50. Basically, canvas lang ako. I trust the production team kung paano iibahin ‘yung look ko. They know better on how I should look. Sa akin na lang ‘yung acting part. Of course with Direk Jeffrey Jeturian na nakatrabaho ko rin sa Lovers, I’m sure magagabayan niya ako nang husto.”
