MANILA, Philippines — Actress Alessandra de Rossi on Monday belied reports that Piolo Pascual has anything to do with President Rodrigo Duterte’s fifth State of the Nation Address (Sona).

De Rossi issued the statement as reports surfaced of Pascual alongside director Joyce Bernal being declined by Sagada local government to shoot in its jurisdiction.

The Sagada local government said it was not ready in terms of health facilities to handle possible cases of COVID-19.

In a Twitter post, De Rossi said Pascual had a “bigger project,” which was not related to “politics.”

“No. He has a bigger project. Not related to politics, but to show the beauty of the Philippines,” De Rossi said, responding to a netizen who asked why Pascual went to Sagada.

“Let them clarify that. It’s not my story to tell. But [definitely], walang kinalaman si Piolo sa SONA at all. Ano gagawin nya doon? Magmomodel?” she said in another tweet.

The President is to deliver his fifth Sona on July 27.
