Actor Piolo Pascual is definitely a nature person. In a recent virtual press conference, the actor describes how idyllic his life is in his resort-like property in Batangas while in quarantine.
“Every day, I wake up to a breathtaking view of Batangas Bay. I get to appreciate it on my porch. Then, I hear the chirping of birds and crows of chicken in the morning,” the 43-year-old actor says.
Piolo shares that his property doesn’t use air-conditioning. He allows natural air to circulate in the entire property.
“Everything’s open. We’re outdoors. I love to see the horizon. That’s what I wake up to every day. There’s no outdoor activity, no one’s on the beach since it is still prohibited. It’s so peaceful and quiet,” he avers.
During the lockdown, the award-winning actor keeps himself busy by engaging in daily exercises. He has become a familiar face to the residents in the area.
“I do a lot of walking within the interconnected barangays. Usually, I walk in the morning. Sometimes, I try to walk a little earlier and jog fast. But it’s inevitable sometimes when you have to slow down because of the people you meet along the way. They want to take pictures with you. Of course, I oblige. It’s fun because I get to meet and mingle with the locals,” he shares.
“Although I try to leave early so I can cover more ground, there are moments as well when I walk in the evening. This way, I can reach farther since before dawn breaks, there are already lots of people in the streets,” he adds.
It’s not only this COVID-19 pandemic that Piolo sought sanctuary in his Batangas abode. Prior to the outbreak, he was also in his Batangas property during the Taal Volcano eruption in early January.
“It serves as my safe house when there are calamities,” Paolo says.
Speaking of these unfortunate developments in the country, the award-winning actor believes that everything will turn out fine eventually.
“All the tragic events that happened this 2020 are just challenging. Despite these, I am positive that these things shall pass. I just really want everybody to be able to survive and rise above the situation,” he ends.

“We know that there are lots of challenges that we still have to face along the way but I believe we’ll overcome the odds. That’s why I remind her every day that in the future, we’ll get married. I’m simply excited about the things that will still happen to the two of us,” he reveals.
