Rising actor-singer Kyle Echarri has addressed ongoing speculations about his closeness to fellow actor Piolo Pascual.
In a recent interview during the press conference for his sequel film “100 Awit Para Kay Stella,” Kyle spoke candidly about the bond he shares with Piolo, whom he considers not only a mentor but also a brother.
“I never really have to answer what the people say. Mali iniisip ng mga tao. Kapatid ko ‘yan. He is a brother, a best friend of mine. Ano isipin ng tao, sa kanila na. Kami, alam namin magkapatid kami. We are best friends,” he told the media.
Echarri added that Pascual has been a source of strength and comfort during one of the most difficult periods of his life.
“He came into my life at a very significant time when I was losing my sister. Ilan lang po nakaalam sa pinagdadaanan ko noon. One of the brothers that helped me out through the scenes na masakit at mahirap gawin dahil sa nangyari sa kapatid ko,” he shared.
Kyle further stressed that he knows his identity and does not feel the need to prove anything to others.
“I have been asked this so many times. I know who I am. Kapatid ko ‘yan. He is like a brother to me. He has been a mentor to me for the past two years,” he described Piolo’s role in his life.
On the topic of love and relationships, the young actor said he is currently focusing on his well-being and growing career.
“There is always time for love, pag feel mo. Sa ngayon, I am taking my time building a relationship with myself, inner peace, and loved ones around me. Hindi kailangan meron ako agad,” Kyle said.
Kyle and Piolo previously worked together in the ABS-CBN drama thriller series Pamilya Sagrado.
