Hunk actor Piolo Pascual is teaming up with ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs to relive the legacy of former senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. and his love story with former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino.Pascual will serve as the narrator for "Ninoy sa Puso ng Pinoy" which will be aired on ABS-CBN Channel 2 on August 21, in time for Aquino's 28th death anniversary.
"Gusto naming gawin 'to lalo na para sa henerasyon naming hindi pa masyadong nakakakilala kay Ninoy," Pascual told ABS-CBN News.
"Malaking karangalan sa'kin na mag-narrate ng napakagandang storya. Dito natin makikilala ang ating modernong bayani."
Asked what he admires about Aquino, the actor said, "Bilib ako sa guts niya, dignidad niya, sa mga pinaglaban niya bilang mover noong 80s."
He added that he also wants to be a journalist, just like Aquino.
"I've always wanted to be a newscaster. Gusto ko mag-present ng news," said Pascual, who took up Communication Arts at the University of Santo Tomas.
Last year, Pascual played the role of Aquino in ABS-CBN's drama anthology "Maalaala Mo Kaya."
The episode marked the 77th birth anniversary of Cory Aquino's husband.
