“It’s nice because she’s only in her 20s. The kind of businesses she’s getting into are still conservative, but in a way, calculated risk. It’s admirable, especially for her age,” he said in an interview.

Despite being long-term friends, the pair has yet to work on an on-screen project. In February, upon her contract signing renewal, Bernardo shared that one of the actors she’s looking forward to working with is Pascual.

“He’s Papa P., sino’ng ayaw na maka-trabaho si Papa P. Safe to say na lumaki ako na kasama sila kasi we have the same handler… Ta’s nagkita kami nung kay Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) na lunch and then nakapag-usap. Of course I’m willing to work with Papa P. Who can say no to that?” said the actress at the time.

The “Hello, Love, Goodbye” actress affirmed that she “respects” Pascual not just as an actor but also an individual.

“I respect him so much as an actor, but then nung nakilala ko siya bilang tao and feeling ko makaka-attest dito lahat ng nandito sa ABS-CBN na he’s so loved by many because of his personality. And ‘yan ‘yung isa sa mga traits na nai-inspire ako. He’s so loved,” she added.

Meanwhile, another close friend of Bernardo, Dominic Roque, recently hit back at the netizens who tend to put “malice” on his friendship with the actress, saying these merely stemmed from claims of “delulu” (delusional) and “toxic” people on social media.
