Piolo Pascual will train formally to become a pastor


Actor Piolo Pascual says he wants to give more time to the Lord. He is serious enough about this to plan on taking a leadership training course at the Every Nation Leadership Institute at Fort Bonifacio. The course is to prepare him to become a pastor. The realization that he wanted to be a servant of God came to Piolo, he says, when he was 25 years old. Now 30, the actor has this to say, "My hunger is focused now on my ministry rather than my work. I've done so much. The Lord has been very good to me and I am so blessed. I should focus now on other things, not only on my career. I am happy with what I have achieved. Darating yung time na I would slow down and focus more on my ministry." Piolo is a member of the Victory Christian Fellowship. The actor adds, "Hindi ko naman sinasabi na nagawa ko na lahat. But there are things that I need not do anymore just to prove myself." This also does not mean, the handsome actor says, that he will turn his back on his showbiz career. "Siguro, may mga bagay na habang tumatagal puwedeng ‘wag mo nang gawin," the actor quipped at the press junket for Paano Kita Iibigin, Piolo's latest starrer opposite Regine Velasquez, held at ABS-CBN's 9501 restaurant last April 25. In the movie, Piolo and Regine have steamy scenes, but the actor is quick to say that these do not violate his religious beliefs. "It depends on how you handle the scene or how it is executed by the director. There's no need to show things that should not be shown," he explains reasonably. Piolo also wants to capture a wider audience for the movie, which is why he would rather limit his sexy scenes. Paano Kita Iibigin is a co-production venture of Star Cinema and Viva Films under the direction of Joyce Bernal. Ang good news para sa fans ni Piolo at Regine ay ito: both artists have been given the go-signal to promote the movie in select shows of both ABS-CBN and GMA-7. Regine is a talent of the Kapuso Network (GMA-7) while Piolo is a Kapamilya (ABS-CBN). - Philippine Entertainment Portal
