Piolo Pascual Plays a Challenging Role and Forms a Love Triangle Between Zaijan Jaranilla and Xyriel Ann Manabay in '24/7 In Love!'

 

 “It’s all about love being 24/7 in love and every minute, every day there’s love in the air, kaniya-kaniyang storya ng pagmamahal.” That is how Piolo Pascual describes the upcoming Star Cinema offering in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Star Magic, “24/7 In Love.”

A true labor of love, Piolo says the movie is a celebration of Star Magic’s growing family in its 20 years of producing home-grown talents for ABS-CBN. “It was timely because we’re celebrating 20 years of Star Magic and kami bilang magkakapatid sa Star Magic, we wanna be able to have more fun and it’s not always about work, so we look forward to this. It’s anticipated because magkakasama kami, so nung pinresent siya sa akin I didn’t think twice about accepting it.”

Piolo shares the limelight in one of the episodes with child wonders Zaijan Jaranilla and Xyriel Manabat, whom he has worked with in the teleserye “Noah.” Piolo is Pipoy, a 35-year-old mentally challenged man who lives in an orphanage and is happy spending his days with his best friend, 10-year-old Jomar. However, their friendship is shaken when new girl Ayie, played by Xyriel, enters the picture.

For Piolo, playing Pipoy is his most challenging role to date. “For me it’s my most challenging role. Akalain mo ba naman na at my age gaganap ako na 7 years old at ka-love team ko si Xyriel and ka-love triangle ko si Zaijian ‘di ba?” he reveals with a laugh. “I level with them. I level with Xyriel and Zaijian. Nakikipagkulitan ako sa set, mas madali kasi walang worries eh. Bata kasi, walang problema, so naisip ko habang nagshu-shoot ako, sabi ko, ‘sarap pala maging bata kasi wala kang iniisip na problema, trabaho ka lang, acting ka lang.’ Ganun lang pala kasimple.”

Zaijan and Xyriel also find working with their Kuya Piolo a lot of fun. “Masaya pong ka-eksena si Kuya Piolo. Magaling, mabait, at saka pag sa eksena focused talaga,” Zaijan says of his co-star. “Nagkukulitan po kami and inaasar ko po siya na siya si Budoy hehe,” Xyriel shares, even adding that her character has a super crush on Piolo.

For the kids, their episode has a very simple message to the audience. “Maging mabuting magkaibigan, huwag magseselos saka laging magbibigayan.”

Piolo, Zaijan and Xyriel’s episode is directed by Dado Lumibao and will be shown on November 21 in theaters nationwide.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Piolo Pascual Sings the Theme Song of the Upcoming ABS-CBN Drama-Fantaserye, 'Little Champ!'

The theme song of the newest drama-fantaserye of ABS-CBN, “Little Champ” sang by singer/actor Piolo Pascual entitled, “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako”, will be heard first at “ASAP 2012” this Sunday (September 9).

Its music video will also be played simultaneously on MYX, Cinema One and DZMM Teleradyo while playing on Tambayan and My Only Radio (MOR) in regional areas.

According to Piolo, the theme song is very special because it’s the first teleserye that has a recorded live performance of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and it’s a first for him as well. “When they said that I will be accompanied by a live orchestra, the first of its kind, I got very excited because we’re pioneering it. I’m so happy to be given this opportunity. This is a milestone for me,” said Piolo.

Having an orchestra play for a TV show isn’t ordinary, said Gerard Salonga, conductor of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra. “This is the first teleserye in our country to be accompanied by a live orchestra. For a TV show to have such music, this means that ABS-CBN really strives to give its viewers only high quality shows.”

The creators of the new drama-fanstaserye, “Little Champ” said that they chose the song, “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako” as it fits the teleserye’s heroic theme.
