ISA sa rason kung bakit tinanggap ni Piolo Pascual ang pelikulang Mallari ay dahil mahilig siyang manood ng horror movies.
Ayon sa aktor nang makausap ng entertainment press sa ginanap na mediacon and contract signing nito sa Novotel, Quezon City kamakailan, “I’m a fan of horror films. I love watching horror.”
Dagdag pa nito, “Since na I got stuck with mga romcom, I had no chance to do any horror film.
“But seeing the project, reading it and finding out the truthfulness of the person, the character that I’m gonna portray, I was like, sabi ko this is something really interesting.
“When I googled the name Mallari, and it came out as the first documented serial killer in the Philippines, sabi ko, hindi siya.
“I mean, of course, it’s a fictional film but it’s based on a true story.
“And sabi ko, there are a lot of films that had been coming out from different countries.
“Because of the streaming platforms, we were able to watch them.
” And I think we should be proud of what we can do as well.
“So sabi ko, this is gonna be really hard for me physically. Exhausting, Emotionally draining portraying three roles.
“But I’m up for the challenge, and I’m happy to be given this privilege to be acting for this film because it’s quite an interesting story, and an interesting character, too,” mahabang esplika ng award winning actor.
