Piolo Pascual in Zaijan Jaranilla’s eyes

Zaijian Jaranilla

Child star Zaijian Jaranilla is all praises for his “Hawak-Kamay” co-star Piolo Pascual, who plays his foster parent in the series.

“Dalawang beses na kaming nagkasama sa movie pero ’di ko pa po siya nakitang nagalit. Nahihiya pa ako sa kanya noong umpisa, pero ngayon magaan na po ang loob ko sa kanya. Napakabait po niya at galante—binigyan po niya ako ng wristwatch. Palabiro po siya at palagi niya akong kinikiliti. (We’ve worked together on two movies, but I’ve never seen him lose his cool and get angry. At first, I felt uneasy around him, but I’m comfortable working with him now. He’s very kind and generous—he gave me a wristwatch. On the set, he is always joking around and tickling me).” Marinel R. Cruz
