Iñigo Pascual and Piolo Pascual
Kapamilya actor and singer Iñigo Pascual has openly accepted that his father, Piolo Pascual, is not only more handsome but also more successful than him in the entertainment industry. This comes as no surprise, given that fans constantly compare Iñigo to his father, many of whom argue that Iñigo will never reach the same level of fame and success Piolo has achieved in showbiz.
In a recent episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Iñigo was asked how he feels about being constantly compared to Piolo. Iñigo explained that he has never been offended by these comparisons, no matter how harsh some of the comments from netizens may be.
“Para sa ‘kin hindi ko siya matatanggal sa buhay ko, sa pagkatao ko, kung sino ako. Kasi wala naman ako sa mundong ‘to kung wala ‘yung tatay ko, magulang ko,” Iñigo shared with Tito Boy.
He further added, “Para sa ‘kin hindi siya obstacle, hindi siya problema kasi wala naman ako sa industriyang ‘to kung wala rin naman ‘yung tatay ko. Para sa ‘kin it’s an honor that I get, it’s an honor to be compared to my dad,” showing his deep respect and admiration for his father.
Iñigo admitted that he is unsure if he can ever match or surpass Piolo's monumental achievements in the entertainment industry. He has also come to terms with the fact that his father is more handsome than him. “Sa mga kaibigan ko, mas ipinagmamalaki ko pa si Papa na parang, ‘Ito ‘yung tatay ko. Can you believe it? This is my dad. He looks like my older brother.’”
“For me that’s more of a bragging right,” Iñigo added, proudly speaking about his father.
Despite the comparisons, Iñigo embraces his own path and feels honored to be the son of such an iconic figure in the industry.
