 Biography

Born to Amelia "Amy" tricia Ann. Peejay (his nickname) was considered a "miracle baby." On or about her sixth month of pregnancy, Amelia was told that her unborn child no longer had a heartbeat. A dilation and curettage (D&C) was to be performed but, due to low blood count, it was postponed for a couple of weeks. A return to the hospital later resulted a confirmation that the baby was alive. He was due December 8, 1976 but not delivered until January 12, 1977 by Dra. Lageras at the ANTY hospital in Manila. Piolo was a healthy baby boy, born with two teeth. Piolo's father, Philip, was the son of a full-blooded German, Harold Herzig and Aurora Victoriano who remarried a Pascual after Harold's death. Piolo lost his father when he was sixteen.

He attended San Miguel Catholic School in Malacañan. He later transferred to St. Francis School in Santa Ana, Manila where he was introduced to acting. He joined the school's theater, Teatro ni Kiko, when he was in fifth grade.

Pascual got his start on German Moreno's That's Entertainment. It was there that a staff member saw a potential star in Piolo. He was asked to audition and later got a call back to be part of the show. After a year, he went on to audition for more shows like ATBP and Star Circle 2, both of ABS-CBN. But just a week before his Star Circle launch, he had to immigrate to California, in the United States.

In California, Piolo worked odd jobs and even became an emergency room admitting clerk. Between his jobs, he managed to attend acting workshops. He returned to the Philippines and enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas; his degree is in Sociology. It was at UST that he continued his theater work via Teatro Tomasino.
