Recently, Sparkle star and rising boxing champion Eman Bacosa Pacquiao faced the press as an official ambassador for the brand IAM Worldwide.

During the press luncheon, Eman shared his experience working with one of the country's most respected actors, Piolo Pascual, who is also one of the brand's prominent ambassadors.

According to the Sparkle star, he was incredibly excited to work with the actor he once admired from afar and now finally had the chance to collaborate with. He also revealed that Piolo gave him valuable advice about acting.

“Very exciting po! Mayroon din po siya naturo [sa akin] pagdating sa acting,” Eman said during the press luncheon.

Eman also shared that he opened up to Piolo about his nervousness as he enters the world of showbiz.

He recalled the actor's advice to let go of his anxiety and simply enjoy everything he is currently experiencing.

“Nasasabi ko sa kanya na kinakabahan ako kasi hindi pa talaga ako sanay sa mga ganitong bagay. Nag-a-advice din siya na huwag akong kabahan, i-enjoy ko muna 'yung mga moments,” he shared.

“Sometimes, ang masasabi niya lang is be thankful and enjoy lang,” he continued.

Eman was also asked about the type of projects he hopes to collaborate on with Piolo in the future. The young boxing champ said he would love to work with the actor again—whether for another endorsement or possibly an action project.

“I hope na sa endorsement pa rin or if ever sa mga acting. Action, puwede. Hoping!” he shared.

It can be recalled that last year, Eman first met his idol Piolo during an episode of the Kapuso program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho. Their meeting delighted viewers, especially due to Eman's striking resemblance to the actor.
