by Rommel Placente
Sina Piolo Pascual at Toni Gonzaga ang pararangalan bilang Box Office King & Queen ng Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation (GMMSF), na gaganapin sa Solaire Resort and Casino sa June 14. Ito ay dahil sa pagiging topgrosser ng pelikulang pinagsamahan nila noong nakaraang tao, ang ‘Starting Over Again’ mula sa Star Cinema.
Ayon kay Piolo, sobrang happy siya na tinanghal na rin siya bilang Box Offce King ng nasabing award giving body.
“Finally! I’m thankful of course sa Guillermo. I can’t wait to see that trophy ‘coz I always wanted that.
“Not for anything [else], but it’s one thing na talagang ipinagdasal ko, pinangarap ko, and now it’s there, it’s announced,” sabi ni Piolo nang makausap siya ng Philippine Showbiz Republic (PSR) nung Linggo sa ‘ASAP’, kung saan ay regular mainstay siya rito.
Patuloy niya,”Dream come true for me. It’s a validation. But more than that, it’s like something that you wanted and you get it, sobrang nakakatuwa.
“I think I got Mr. RP for four times, finally ibinigay din sa akin ang Box Office King title.
“So, I’m really thankful and grateful.”
Sobrang happy din si Piolo para sa kanyang anak na si Inigo dahil ito naman at ang naging kapareha nitong si Sofia Andres sa pelikulang ‘Relax It’s Just Pag-ibig’ ang napiling Most Promising Loveteam.
“Grabe, nakakatuwa! He’s on a roll, I’m really happy for him.”
Samantala, may ginagawang pelikula ngayon si Piolo opposite Sarah Geronimo mula sa Star Cinema. Wala pang napipiling title ang kanilang pelikula.
Kamusta naman ang working relationship nila ni Sarah?
“She grows on you. I was surprised kasi, for the first few days, napakamahiyain, napaka-giddy.
“Pero nung last few shooting days namin, nakikita ko talaga she’s a good actress.
“She has this aura na makikita mo na napaka-light, napakagaan, ang sarap lang niyang panoorin.”.
