Actor Piolo Pascual made waves online after reports emerged that he is set to play the father of Kapamilya actress Belle Mariano in an upcoming family drama film.
Fans of Belle were quick to celebrate the news, praising Pascual for his consistent professionalism and warm rapport with co-stars.
Also rumored to be joining the cast is actor Joshua Garcia, further fueling excitement among netizens. While there has been no official announcement from the production team, a post has been circulating online where Pascual allegedly responded “yes” when asked about the project—though this remains unconfirmed.
It is still unclear whether this upcoming film is the same one directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, which has been previously linked to Belle Mariano. However, Mariano’s collaboration with Garcia-Sampana has already been confirmed by ABS-CBN Films.
According to earlier reports, Belle Mariano and director Cathy Garcia-Sampana met in February to discuss a full-length movie. This marks Belle’s first solo feature under Garcia-Sampana’s direction and their third overall collaboration. The director was previously involved in projects featuring Mariano and her love team partner Donny Pangilinan.
This upcoming film is seen as a major milestone for Belle Mariano as she branches out into more mature roles alongside top-caliber stars.
As of this writing, official confirmation regarding the cast and title of the movie has yet to be released.
