For actor Piolo Pascual, it's possible to be happily single. Living the best life, he's not worried anymore if fate would tell him to remain single.



During the launch of his latest endorsement for Beautederm held at Luxent Hotel in Quezon City last Thursday, Piolo admitted that he's not on the lookout for a special someone. “Hindi naman natin hinahanap yun. Pag dumating, dun na natin nahanap yun,” said Piolo when asked about having a partner for life.


"Pero sa ngayon ok naman po ako eh. Nasanay na rin sigurong mag-isa. It's not something that I'm excited to have or something that I would want to have. But for now, I just want to focus on myself and see what I can do. Sanay na po talaga akong mag-isa. Hindi ko na alam kung darating yun," he said.


Papa P., as he is fondly called, said that he wouldn't mind if his son actor-singer Inigo Pascual would get married soon.

"I guess my son and me are the same in terms of being career-driven. I know this time he wants to focus on his career and have the opportunity to grow in this business. So kung sabihin niyang gusto na niyang magpakasal, I'd be happy for him. I'll be there to support him through and through," Piolo said.

Inigo co-stars in the latest Fox series, "Monarch," a musical drama about America's first family of country music.

When not busy, Piolo says that he enjoys being a plantito. "Kanina galing ako sa bahay, and my plants were growing. I am able to propagate my plants and transplant because sa sobrang dami nila, kailangan mo na i-distribute. Kanina yung mga bakod naman namin nilagyan ko ng cactus at ibang klaseng halaman para mapuno. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam. It's a therapy for me. When you see them grow, nakakawala ng pagod."

Unfortunately, Piolo said that "Flower of Evil" on ABS-CBN would be his last TV series for now. After that, he will focus on doing movies and a concert tour. He admitted that his upcoming projects would not allow him anymore to shoot another teleserye.

With a career that spans three prodigious decades, Piolo's body of work includes a consistent string of top-rating primetime television series as well as blockbuster and critically acclaimed films that have defined several generations, making him one of the most respected and trusted actors in the history of Philippine entertainment. 


The immense mainstream popularity and accomplishments of the iconic actor in both television and film paved the way for him to pay it forward as a producer of quality films that greatly contribute to the growth of the industry.


Piolo's success as an actor is borne out of hard work and perseverance, which is very much parallel to the story of Beautéderm which has equally inspired countless Filipinos. 

He is endorsing Koreisu Family Toothpaste and Koreisu Whitening Toothpaste, both conceived by Beautederm, as a set of top-tier oral hygiene essentials that are both fluoride-free and triclosan-free with very minimal ingredients that makes the products safe and effective for the entire family to use.


Koreisu Family Toothpaste is formulated with Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) which makes it a safe alternative to commercial toothpaste without sacrificing anti-plaque benefits while fighting tooth decay that causes bacteria. Koreisu Whitening Toothpaste on the other hand is a whitening toothpaste that contains activated charcoal that eliminates stains and unpleasant odor.

Both Piolo and Beautéderm are passionately committed to excellence and the highest standards of quality – making them a perfect match. And Piolo being a certified health buff makes him the ideal artist to promote Beautéderm’s oral care essentials, especially these days when the maintenance of good well-being is extremely important not just to survive but also to thrive in these very challenging times.


“Koreisu Family Toothpaste and Koreisu Whitening Toothpaste are daily essentials of mine in maintaining excellent oral health,” says Piolo. “These are all-natural products that are not only hygienic, but it adds an extra layer of protection against germs and viruses as well. I am so grateful to my Beautéderm family and to Ms. Rei for trusting me to represent these amazing products that I absolutely love.”


Beautéderm’s President and CEO Rhea Anicoche-Tan on the other hand is thrilled to have Piolo on board the fabulous Beautéderm family for the third straight year. 


“Who doesn’t love Piolo? No one could ever argue that he is the ultimate hunk and one of the industry’s top leading men,” says Rhea. “But beyond all the pomp of his showbiz persona is a hard-working man who creates a positive difference in this world through his professionalism, humility, and the goodness of his heart. Plus it really doesn’t hurt that he has a dazzling megawatt smile right? It is truly our pleasure to have Piolo with us in our Beautéderm family.”
