MANILA, Philippines – Actor Piolo Pascual admitted that he was considering becoming a pastor.
In an interview with Wilson Lee Flores, which was published at the Philippine Star on Sunday, Pascual said he hoped to become a pastor one day.
“Yes, I had wanted to be a pastor, but my church (Victory Christian Fellowship) told me I’m more important where I am now because many are becoming pastors, but to be Christian in showbiz is important,” he said in the interview.
Pascual, 35, said he became a born-again Christian when he was 25.
In the interview, Pascual also revealed that he contemplated joining the priesthood. In fact, after high school, he applied for seminary training but abandoned his plans when he got accepted at the University of Santo Tomas for college.
He said he deals with controversies in his personal life by “lifting up all his burdens to God.”
“One of the things that struck me was Piolo insisting that going to church every Sunday and reading the Bible every day is not sufficient; he urges attending Bible study sessions once a week,” Flores said in his column.
Asked for his advice for success, the actor told Flores: “Positive thinking, have faith in God, love life, avoid things bad for the health or body, keep things simple in one’s life, pray, read the Bible every day.”
