DESIDIDO na talaga si Piolo Pascual na tutukan na lang ang pelikula, partikular ang pagpo-produce, kaya naman mag-aaral siya ng film producing sa New York Film Academy.

Kasama ni Piolo si Direk Joyce Bernal, na kapwa niya producer sa Spring Films.

Nag-scriptwriting workshop na dati si Piolo kay Ricky Lee, pero hindi na iyon na-pursue ng aktor dahil sa kabisihan ng kanyang schedule.

May pangarap ba siyang magdirek ng pelikula?

“Wala po. Producing lang talaga,” sabi ni Piolo.

“I don’t see myself becoming a director. I don’t think it’s on the horizon. I don’t find it appealing for me. I don’t have the knack for it. I’d rather be in front of the camera than be the one calling the shots.

“Producing, it’s different, because it’s business. But I don’t see myself having to, you know, compose my shots. I don’t like to be a director in that sense because it’s too much to handle, yeah.”

Samantala, masayang-masaya si Piolo na naging ambassador siya ng AMA University Online Education.

“I’ve been waiting for this. I’ve been praying for this,” aniya. “If there’s anything I’d like to share about it is that I share the same advocacy with AMA, which is education.

“So, I’m just really happy with this partnership because that means I’ll be able to further my cause with the partnership I’m having with AMA, and that we’ll be able to inspire more people, especially Filipinos, to level up their skills, level up their education.

“I mean, you know, I will always tell my son (Iñigo Pascual), when he wanted to be in showbiz already, back in high school, I said, ‘At least give me a degree. Give me a diploma. Because I don’t want you being in the marketplace looking and feeling dumb. You have something between your ears’.

“I firmly believe that education is the key to be able to advance in life.” pagtatapos ni Piolo.
