Vitto Marquez, Son Of Joey Marquez, Definitely Not A Womanizer Like His Dad, Stars In Another Barkada Movie, 'Petmalu'

VITTO MARQUEZ is happy to be part of the youth movie “Petmalu” that opens in theaters tomorrow. “Magandang-maganda yung role ko as Albert, anak nina Yayo Aguila and William Martinez,” he says. “Ako yung naligaw ng landas sa barkada namin dahil nagkaroon ako ng masamang bisyo. It’s a difficult role kasi in real life, never akong nag-drugs. Hindi ako maka-relate, but with the help of Direk Joven Tan, I think nagawa ko naman nang maayos.”

In real life, the 22-year old Vitto is a straight guy who practices clean-living. At his age, he hasn’t even had a girlfriend so reporters tell him he’s not a chip off the old block as his dad Joey Marquez or Tsong is a certified ladies’ man.

“May minahal na rin naman ako kaya lang, hindi umabot sa point na ligawan ko seriously kasi, at this point, masyadong focused ako sa career ko kasi nagsisimula pa lang ako,” he says. “Ito ang priority ko ngayon. Gusto ko munang mapatunayan sa family ko at sa sarili ko rin na may mararating ako dito sa larangang pinasok ko.”



It’s said that the girl he’s referring to is Kapuso young actress Bea Binene. “Kaibigan ko siya. Mahal ko siya as a friend. Hindi pa ako nagde-decide na pumasok sa showbiz, nakilala ko na siya. Pero sa ngayon talaga, wala akong ibang mahal kundi ang trabaho ko. I’m just starting so I want to prioritize my work talaga.”

What can he say about some of his colleagues in Hashtags who now have kids? Isn’t he envious somehow? “Bakit naman ako maiinggit? Malaking responsibilidad ang maging ama at hindi ko pa kaya. Ni wala pa nga akong napapatunayan sa buhay ko, e. Ang goal ko talaga, maging successful ang career ko sa showbiz. Both my parents (Joey and Alma Moreno) are very successful sa showbiz careers nila. So gusto ko ring ma-achieve kung anuman ang achievements na narating nila sa careers nila. Kaya rito sa ‘Petmalu’, I gave it my all. Panoorin sana ng mga tao kasi masaya siyang barkada movie at may aral pang makukuha tungkol sa mga kabataan.”
