To Help Promote Their Movie, Piolo Pascual Admits He Once Tried To Woo Toni Gonzaga

OBVIOUSLY TO help promote their movie, Piolo Pascual admitted in the “Starting Over Again” presscon that he once attempted to court Toni Gonzaga. “When she moved to ABS-CBN, we went on date watching Gary V’s concert,” he says. “But then I realized na it’s too unfair para hara­ngin mo o pigilan mo ‘yung pangarap niya to become a certified actress. I know na gusto niyang makilala muna, bilang kaka-transfer lang niya sa ABS. So, may pagpaparaya, kumbaga.”

“Ewan ko kung bakit siya nagparaya. Hindi ko alam,” says Toni. “Kasi, nahihiya ako kay PJ nu’n, eh! Nahihiya talaga ako. Ikaw kasi, e! Inamin mo! Nakakaasar! But actually, parang mas naging okay. Kasi, imadyi­nin mo. Halimbawa, nagkaroon ng something. Tapos, hindi naman na-develop, hindi naman nag-push through, later on magkakaroon kami ng ilangan. Kaya ngayon dito sa pelikula, sobrang comfortable ako kay PJ. Pagdating sa pag-arte, napakakomportable ko sa kanya.”

But she was uncomfortable in their love scene. “First time ko, at dahil lang ito kay Inang (Olive Lamasan). Very naughty ang love scene, but very, very nice. It’s a masterpiece. It’s a work of art, I must say. I’m very proud. Pero hindi puedeng ipapanood sa parents ko at baka lang maiskandalo sila.”
