“WITH Iñigo (Pascual), I’ve always believe in his talent.”
Ito ang buong pagmamalaking sinabi ni Piolo Pascual tungkol sa kanyang anak, pagkatapos ng mediacon ng “Sunlife Kaakbay sa Buhay” sa Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila nitong Sabado.
“Hindi ko naman siya isasabak sa isang bagay kung wala siyang ibibigay.
“He had just to find his own niche, he had just to find his brand, to find his own music. So it’s good because we have different genre in music, tapos ngayon focus siya sa singing with the kind of opportunity he has with ABS (CBN).
“We’re just really thankful because he chose to be with me, he chose to be with ABS, same management, as well as Star Magic, and also Cornerstone (Talent Management),” sabi ni Piolo.
Si Iñigo ang maituturing na “kaakbay sa buhay” ni Piolo, at bilang ama ay sobrang proud siya sa achievements ng anak. Lalo na ngayon na gumagawa na ng sariling pangalan sa ibang bansa ang young singer, dahil kamakailan lang ay nag-shoot at nag-record ito ng music video.
“Nakikita ko talaga how he perseveres with his craft and halos araw-araw ‘yun na ‘yung ginagawa niya, at nakikita ko ‘yung growth niya.
“He challenges himself to become a better performer, and with ABS backing, natutuwa ako, at hindi ako kinakabahan, dahil alam kong ABS is with him 100%, especially going international,” pahayag ng proud daddy.
Ano naman ang reaksiyon ni Iñigo na going international na ang singing career niya?
DREAM COME TRUE
“That’s crazy and I feel the pressure right now, I don’t know how to really express, you know, how the way I feel it. It’s crazy!
“When I went there to record songs, iba ‘yung experience. Marami akong natutunan. It’s more of an immersion, iba ‘yung process nila sa paggawa ng kanta.
“We spent 12 hours, and para sa akin, sobrang grateful lang ako sa mga nangyayari, siyempre.
“It’s my dream to be able to create music and that alone just to represents the Philippines and to create music abroad. Sobrang dream ko po ‘yan.
“It’s crazy right now, it’s not sinking it yet, I barely with this with my single option.
“And we have the full album coming out soon, so masaya ako for the people that I have around me, such as my family and even Sunlife.
“This is like my 5th year (as ambassador) and they allow me to create music for them, kaya malaking bagay po para sa akin,” pahayag naman ng binata.
Ang mga ipinakitang video clips testament nina Piolo at Iñigo ay mapapanood sa YouTube thru Sunlife Kaakbay sa Buhay ngayong Hulyo, kasama rin sina Ms Charo Santos-Concio, Matteo Guidicelli, at Enchong Dee.
