Early life and education
[edit]
Piolo Jose Nonato Pascual was born on January 12, 1977,[1][2] in Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center located in Malate, Manila. He is the youngest son of Amelia Nonato Pascual and Philip Victoriano Pascual. His father was a casting director for international films that were shot in the Philippines.[3] During his early education, he attended San Miguel Catholic School before transferring to St. Francis School in Santa Ana, Manila. When he was in 5th Grade, he joined the school theater group, Teatro Ni Kiko, where he was introduced to the world of theater and acting.[4]
While he was in third year high school, Pascual began appearing in That’s Entertainment, a popular teen variety show that aired in the 1990s.[5] He eventually left That’s Entertainment, however, to get into college full-time, studying at the University of Santo Tomas (UST), where he studied AB General Education.[6] He later shifted to Physical Therapy in preparation for his immigration to the U.S. Around 1996, however, Pascual put his studies and career plans on hold due to his planned migration to the United States.[7]
Pascual and his family lived in Los Angeles, where he worked as an ER representative in the hospital where his mother worked. When he turned 21, he decided to return to Manila in order to pursue his acting career again.[8]

Pascual has named Will Smith, Johnny Depp, and Robin Williams as three of his most admired actors, stating “They’re all very different actors, but what they have in common is that they can do many different things.”[36] When asked about his favorite performances in his early years, Pascual responded, “I like all my roles but my two best performances were in Lagarista, my launching movie, and in the ABS-CBN soap Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako.”[37]
