In recent weeks, entertainment news and social media have been abuzz with blind items hinting at a supposed incident involving a well-known older heartthrob and a young hunk actor locking themselves in a comfort room (CR) for an extended period. Various names surfaced in the comment sections and online forums, with netizens ultimately zeroing in on Piolo Pascual and Kyle Echarri as the actors involved.
Seeking clarity, a team from Daily News Showbiz, along with other media outlets representatives, visited the set of Piolo and Kyle’s ongoing teleserye Pamilya Sagrado. During this visit, we spoke to members of the cast and production staff, hoping to get insights on the circulating rumors and latest updates about the show.
A senior member of the production team, when asked about the incident, confirmed that the rumors were entirely false. According to this source, Piolo Pascual and Kyle Echarri’s shooting schedules often involve separate unit teams and locations, making it unlikely for them to be in the same place for prolonged periods. Even when their schedules align, Piolo and Kyle reportedly have separate designated areas: Piolo has his own private tent, where he spends most of his time, including meals, accompanied only by his personal assistant and makeup artist. Meanwhile, Kyle shares a tent with other male actors.
The production head also clarified that the restroom facilities on set are individual, gender-segregated portable units that only accommodate one person at a time. With so many crew members, staff, and talents present, any unusual behavior would quickly attract attention. The production head emphasized that Piolo and Kyle, both respected professionals, would not engage in any actions that could harm their reputations or the integrity of the project.
In light of this explanation, the senior production head urges fans and netizens to stop spreading the baseless rumor, attributing it to an attempt to tarnish Piolo and Kyle’s image. They clarified that Piolo and Kyle’s closeness should not be misconstrued, as it is purely professional and amicable.
