Star Magic’s premiere actor Piolo Pascual has a lot to be thankful for as he celebrates his 35th birthday on January 12 and another promising start for the New Year.

Already in his 15th year in showbiz, Piolo has worked very hard to get where is. A certified platinum recording artist, he launched Decades 3, his eighth album under Star Records in December 2012, which is now at the top of the Astro Vision music charts.

A noted celebrity endorser, Piolo continues to be the brand ambassador of a slew of important companies, including Sunlife, Timex, Canon, Bench, BDO Remit, Belo Medical and Sky Travel.

An award-winning actor, he took a break from doing teleseryes in 2012 and focused on doing movies for Star Cinema, including the well-received romantic-comedy Every Breath You Take with Angelica Panganiban, and 24/7 In Love, the anniversary movie of Star Magic. He was also busy behind the scenes by producing the second installment of the box-office hit Kimmy Dora, starring Eugene Domingo.

This 2013, Piolo returns to the small screen with the Primetime Bida soap Apoy Sa Dagat together with Diether Ocampo and Angelica Panganiban. An upcoming movie titled OTJ with Gerald Anderson is also lined up for him this year.

To celebrate his birthday with his fans, ASAP 18 on January 12, will turn into one big party as one of the most important actors of this generation thanks his family, co-workers and friends for their continued support.

ASAP airs at noon on Sunday over ABS-CBN 2.
