Piolo addresses his son’s alleged disapproval of KC

Actor Piolo Pascual finally gave a statement about the rumor that his son, Iñigo, disapproves of the former’s relationship with actress KC Concepcion.

Reports came out early July that Piolo’s 13-year-old son allegedly tweeted and even posted a video of himself on YouTube declaring his dislike for KC, whom the actor is said to be courting.

Piolo’s official statement on the matter was aired on “The Buzz” on July 25. It read:

“I’m really sorry for whatever pain or hurt we’ve caused anybody because of the things that have been said about other people. I have to make sure I got the right info as to who was spreading the text messages or tweeting using my son’s name.

“Firstly, my son doesn’t have a Twitter account, his Facebook has been hacked. He never texted anybody to malign Katrina [KC]. He has also received prank calls from different people even while in the States…

“Whoever is using my son’s name to ruin relationships, please refrain from doing so or we may seek legal counsel. My son is still a minor and a private individual.

“I’d like to apologize to Katrina and her family. Thank you for standing by me through this situation. I appreciate your support and maturity in handling this matter. Again, my apologies.”

Piolo’s statement was prompted by KC’s mother, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, who defended her daughter from the rumor on July 22 during the press conference for her forthcoming concert, “Megadrama.”

“I think ang bata, hindi mo masisisi… Ayoko magcomment sa kanila kasi di ko alam ang pagpapalaki sa… ang sasabihin ko na lang, ang pagpalaki ng anak ko…

“It’s unfair kasi disenteng bata si KC. At di pa sila opisyal ni Piolo pero matagal na silang nagkikita. Sana tantanan nila ang anak ko… unfair sa anak ko na wala namang ginagawa kahit kanino… at saka si KC is a very sweet person,” Sharon said.

The Megastar theorized that if the negative tweets about KC were really Iñigo’s, she does not blame him but instead, the “environment” he grew up in.

“I don’t think you can put the blame on someone who has just become a teenager… siguro nasa environment,” Sharon said.

Speaking about KC who witnessed the disintegration of her marriage to actor Gabby Concepcion [KC’s father], Sharon said that she ensured in raising her that “ayokong lumaki ang anak ko na galit sa mundo.”

Sharon called on Piolo to speak up about the issue.

“I’m waiting to see and hear what Piolo has to say about it. Alam kong mahirap mapagitna pero it’s unfair to KC,” she said.

In a rare show of sternness, the Megastar emphasized that she will not take such matters lightly, especially when these concern her daughter.

“Nanay din ako, anak ko si KC… sarili ko, pag nasaktan, pwede ako tumahimik. Pag sumobra na siguro… parang leon na nanay na protective ka sa cubs mo… at wala ng mas magleleon pa sa akin.”

Prompted to share her thoughts on Piolo’s statement, KC broke into tears.

“I know that PJ [Piolo] is a very good father at ginagawa niya ang lahat to be the man that his son needs kasi lumaki si PJ na walang tatay so gusto ni Piolo maging mabuting ama sa anak niya. Hindi pa confirmed na yung anak niya ang nagsulat [pero] naiintindihan ko si Iñigo kung yun talaga siya, kung siya talaga yan.

“Nakikita ko yung batang yan nung bata ako--ako po yung nasa lugar niya. Siyempre, mahirap naman na mahal na mahal mo yung mga magulang mo… mahirap makita na magkahiwalay sila… mahirap din i-accept kung sino man ang napapalapit sa magulang mo…

“Pero I hope it’s not him. Dahil hindi naman ako naniniwala na kayang magsalita ng anak ni Piolo Pascual ng ganyan kasi mabuti namang ama si Piolo,” KC said.

The young actress added: “Ang bottom line lang naman dyan, isa lang ang hinahanap ng…isang anak sa tatay niya, at isa lang ang hinahanap ng isang babaeng pinapalapit mo sa yo, sa isang lalaki.

“At yun ay ang ipaglaban ka at panindigan ka, at ipakita sa yo at iparamdam sa yo na mahal ka niya.”

KC said she hopes the messages against her did not come from Iñigo. “Sana hindi siya. Di ko naman po sinasabi na siya talaga yon kaso masakit po yung mga sinabi.”

She asked those who are behind the issue to stop.

“Sana naman wag niyong sirain ang relasyon ng mag-ama.”

The young actress thanked her mom for raising her well, and Piolo for his statement. She also thanked Iñigo.

“Thank you, Iñigo, sa mga panahong nagkita tayo and you were so nice to me. Yun ang pinanghahawakan ko--yung kabaitan niya nung nagkita kami.”
