Piolo on KC's breakup interview: I wish she didn't do it

MANILA - Three years after his publicized breakup with KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual finally opened up about the controversy in a recent TV special dedicated to his career.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, however, Pascual said he was not aware that his confessions about Concepcion would be shown in the E! News Asia episode that aired internationally last September 28.

"I said what I said. Huwag na nating palakihin 'yon. Para sa akin two years na 'yon," Pascual said during a press conference for his Sunpiology Fun Run event on November 15 at the Bonifacio Global City.

"As much as possible ayaw ko nang magsalita about it. We didn't know what was going to come out. When I was interviewed, no anything about her... I didn't know what they were going to release it," Pascual said.

Aside from Pascual's 20-year career, the E! News special touched on his personal life, revealing that he had his son Inigo undergo DNA testing to confirm their blood ties.

The 30-minute episode referred to Pascual's breakup with Concepcion as a controversy that "rocked the showbiz world." The actress' November 2011 interview about the breakup, it added, "sent the media into a frenzy."

Pascual's sister, Chiqui Gonzales, was interviewed on the subject. She said they were "very sad" about the breakup, especially their mother.

Voice clips of Pascual talking about Concepcion's tell-all interview was also aired. He was heard saying: "Either way, she was going to come out with it, and you know what I felt? I felt bad for her, because she didn't have to resort to that."

"I still love her, you know, with all my heart, but it's just something that she did that I wish she didn't do," he added.

In the on-on-one interview with "The Buzz" host Boy Abunda, Concepcion kept vague the reason behind her split from Pascual. "May mga hinahanap ako na napaka-basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, sa isang lalaki," she said at the time. "Ayaw ko na siguro pumunta sa details kasi parang ayaw kong siraan siya."

According to the E! News special, the interview raised questions about Pascual's supposed infidelity and sexuality.

"That chapter of my life," Pascual said on-cam, "I must have gotten more than 500 support messages. So much, you know? I've never received so much support."
