Year 1998 nang maisipan ni Piolo Pascual na permanente nang manirahan sa 'Pinas at i-pursue ang kanyang dream na maging actor. Sa Tate kasi naninirahan noon si Papa P.

Kuwento ni Piolo sa isang panayam, “I was only 21 then. I didn’t know what to expect. I said this might be my one and only shot at it, so I flew to Manila to take my chances. Looking back, I can safely say the risk I took was all worth it."

Naging matagumpay ang aktor sa landas na kanyang napili dahil ngayon ay sikat na siyang aktor, maraming commercial endorsements at nakapagpatayo ng business, kasama na rito ang pagiging producer niya.

Sambit pa ng aktor, nang magkaroon ng COVID-19 pandemic, saka lang niya naramdaman na sobra rin daw na naapektuhan ang entertainment industry.

“It became hard to move around and get to places you’re supposed to go to. You’re stuck at home and worried about the health of your family."

Maging ang kanyang mental at physically health ay naapektuhan daw dahil sa pandemya.

“I’m very fair to myself. I don’t like the feeling of deprivation. I believe in balance. I had just come from a two-week bubble taping for a show. As soon as I came out, I rewarded myself with a bag of chicharon. Once in a while, you have to indulge.”

Kino-consider ng aktor na very lucky ang kanilang pamilya dahil hindi sila dinapuan ng COVID-19.

"God has been so good to us. Resilience—it’s important nowadays to have this quality because we often get affected by what’s happening around us, mentally and physically. It’s important to learn as much as we can about the health crisis. I was there for my mom. I made sure she feels safe and doesn’t feel alone, especially during the series of lockdowns we had.”

Samantala, may payo si Piolo sa tamang pagha-handle ng finances at kung paano mao-overcome ang mga uncertainties.

“Be practical. Be like me. I started saving up early. When you’re young and you start earning your own money, of course, you get excited. You start thinking of things you want to get for yourself. But, first, you need to think of your future. Yes, celebrate the moment but keep a portion of your income, which you can enjoy later on. You’ll see, it will all be worth it. Twenty years down the line, you and your family will be reaping all the rewards," mahabang sabi nito.
