Piolo Pascual is stepping out of his comfort zone as he takes on his most vile role to date in his highly-anticipated TV comeback for “Pamilya Sagrado,” the biggest family drama of 2024 that also stars Kyle Echarri and Grae Fernandez.
Known for his romcom charm and dramatic portrayals in various shows and movies, viewers will see a totally different side of Piolo as Rafael Sagrado, a sly, corrupt politician and a father that is basking in the glory of his family’s power and greed.
“He’s not all good. He starts out really dark. I really brought out the darkest side of him to show his redemption towards the end. I always try to diversify and do roles na alam kong hindi ko pa nagagawa and that would really challenge me as an artist,” shared Piolo about his character in an interview recently.
“Pamilya Sagrado” is a gripping tale on the value of brotherhood and loyalty to one’s family. The story will navigate the complex world of fraternities and hazing and what it means to go against one’s morals for the sake of protecting one’s reputation.
The story will introduce Rafael, an influential governor who is continuing his family’s political reigns. In the same vein, viewers will also witness the clash between Moises and Justine (Kyle and Grae), two boys who come from completely different worlds.
Moises is a simple yet persevering boy with big dreams, while Justine, the son of Rafael, is an entitled boy that feels the innate pressure from his family to succeed in life. Despite their differences, Moises and Justine eventually form an unbreakable bond.
The Sagrado family’s reputation will be put in great danger when a wrongful death of a student due to hazing gets traced to a fraternity group led by Justine. With everything at risk, the Sagrados go great lengths to protect their sacred image and throughout the process, dark secrets come to light and threaten to break their family apart.
“Pamilya Sagrado” premieres on June 17 (Monday) at 8:45 PM on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, Kapamilya Online Live, and TFC. The series also streams 48 hours before its TV broadcast on iWantTFC.
Directed by Lawrence Fajardo, Andoy Ranay, and Rico Navarro, “Pamilya Sagrado” boasts of a powerhouse cast of industry veterans Shaina Magdayao, Mylene Dizon, Rosanna Roces, Aiko Melendez, Tirso Cruz III, John Arcilla, and Joel Torre.
