Piolo Pascual had to deal again with questions from reporters regarding the recent controversy involving his 13-year-old son Iñigo who allegedly posted nasty comments on Twitter against Piolo’s rumored girlfriend KC Concepcion. Piolo had already released an official statement that his son, who’s already based in the US and is only in the Philippines for a vacation, doesn’t have a Twitter account. At his press conference as the endorser of Quickchow instant noodles, Piolo told reporters that he will defend his son against negative intrigues.“It’s been a sensitive issue. It’s something na as much as possible I didn’t want to talk about kaya nga I just released a statement. But then I was told I’ll be doing this press con so wala naman tayong kawala sa mga tanong. Ang sa akin I have to protect my son against issues because first of all hindi naman siya from showbiz. I have to protect his privacy. He’s not based here but it just so happened na umuwi ‘yung bata. It was hard for him,” said the actor.
Piolo also pleaded to those behind the offensive Twitter posts to stop ruining other people’s lives. “Mahirap kasi ang daming pumatol, accusing people of anything. I released a statement to set the record straight that it wasn’t my son. Kung sino man ang naglabas ng mga ‘yun sana lang makonsensya kayo. Relationship ang sinisira niyo.”
He added that he will not let this issue pass and will seek action to find out who is really behind this. “I want to investigate to find out kung sino. I’m positive na malalaman namin. I have a feeling it’s someone from the States. Ang pag-hack sa internet worldwide naman ‘yan. Nafo-forward kasi sa akin ‘yung mga nasulat, inemail sa akin ng mga friends ko sa States, mga nieces ko na nag-Facebook and Twitter. Based sa mga nabasa ko I know na hindi gagawin ng isang bata ‘yun.”
Piolo revealed that Iñigo, who is currently here in the Philippines with him, was deeply affected by the issue which almost caused a rift in their relationship. “He felt bad na feeling niya I wasn’t even defending him. Gusto ko rin naman kasi munang malaman, like what I said in my statement, I have to get the right information kung sino ba talaga ang nagpo-post ng mga ‘yun. Hindi ko pa rin nakukuha but I have to give a statement kasi things are getting out of hand na.”
The actor-product endorser said he was convinced from the very beginning that it’s not in his son’s character to say bad words about anyone. Since his son is not in showbiz, Piolo is trying his best to spare him the intrigues. “Hindi niya gagawin ‘yun. Sa exclusive Christian school siya nagaaral. I’m praying and hoping na may support group siya. Mahirap lang pagusapan because I’m in showbiz where everything is magnified at siya ang naaapektuhan. May mga nanunukso sa kanya, unfair naman sa bata. Hindi naman siya artista. I told him na as much as possible hindi ko siya isasama sa mga interviews ko.”
There are those who suspect that Piolo’s son is just having a hard time dealing with gossip about him dating some other women. “Natural lang siguro na reaksyon ‘yun. Nung nasa edad niya ako ganun din ako. The most important things is that I spend more time with him to give him the attention that he needs and deserves.”
