Iba talaga gumawa ang ABS-CBN.’ Ang sarap ng pakiramdam na it’s not about you but the whole concept of coming up with something original, something na masasabi mo na came out of nothing, came out of nowhere, but here we are working hand in hand to come out with hopefully something great that people would enjoy watching,” he added.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7jrHaSSQhG/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A297433.90000009537%2C%22ls%22%3A212007.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A212317%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>During the blogcon, the press was able to watch the first two episodes of the show where Piolo’s character, Rafael Sagrado, was seen as a corrupt politician who wants to maintain the clean reputation of their family despite the dirty work they do.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/2/8/piolo-pascual-shares-lessons-he-learned-from-deo-endrinal-1518" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Piolo Pascual shares lessons he learned from Deo Endrinal</u></strong></a></div><p>With a chance to portray a dark and complex character, Piolo revealed that it was one of the reasons he accepted to take on the role.</p><p>“Sabi ko ang sarap paglaruan kasi napakasama niya and maraming paghuhugutan doon sa conflict na pagdadaanan ng character niya with (other characters)... Napaka-complex niya. Ito yung tipo ng istorya na ang sarap bigyan ng buhay kasi hindi ka nakakahon,” he remarked.</p><p>Piolo went on: “Ikaw mismo yung ma-amaze sa pagexpose ng mga conflict and it’s just nice to be in that ride, to go along with the ride, be a collaborator, be a team player. Sabi ko ito na iyon kung gagawa ka ng soap opera.”</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7k0cXPyZD5/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A277544.90000009537%2C%22ls%22%3A212007.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A212317%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Piolo also shared that before saying yes to the project, he made sure that his character would not just be a pure bad and corrupt one.</p><p>“There has to be redemption for the character. He can’t be bad all the way. That’s why I&#x27;m excited for my character because he starts out bad, but through the journey of his story, he’s gonna turn into good. It has to have redemption. If there’s no hope, let’s not do it. That’s my mantra in life. If I’m not going to learn anything from the story which would make me a better person, I would not do it… It has to end on a good note,” he shared.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7i51P1RsSI/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A234522.40000009537%2C%22ls%22%3A212007.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A212317%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="612" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Piolo’s last television series was the Philippine adaptation of the South Korean mystery-crime drama series, <a href="http://ent.abs-cbn.com/foe2022" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Flower of Evil</u></strong></a>, in 2022. The series was supposedly his last television project, as he recalled.</p><p>Now that he is back on the small screen after two years, Piolo shared that he somewhat found it challenging shifting from his previous projects to TV shows.</p><p>“Sobra yung challenge kasi siyempre iba yung acting sa TV. I would tell my director, I would tell my co-actors… ito kasi as you go along it’s slow burn. Ikaw mismo gagawa ng graph ng character mo so TV discipline is different. You tend to have kind of to modify it in such a way na magcompliment sa succeeding scenes na,” he told the press.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7gnCDXx7YN/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A212347.20000004768%2C%22ls%22%3A212007.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A212317%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1257" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div>
