Another round of fake news targets the Pascuals, highlighting the need for vigilance against sensationalized celebrity rumors.

An article circulating online claims that actor Piolo Pascual has spoken out after his son, Iñigo Pascual, allegedly came out as gay. The story, posted on a little-known website, quickly drew attention from fans. However, upon closer review, the report is false.

As of this writing, neither Piolo nor Iñigo has made any such revelation. No credible Philippine media outlet has confirmed Iñigo’s supposed “coming out.” Instead, the claim is another instance of sensationalized clickbait—a pattern that has repeatedly targeted both father and son over the years.

This is not new. Rumors questioning Piolo and Iñigo’s sexuality have circulated online from time to time, with fake stories reemerging to stir controversy. Piolo himself has long dismissed such speculations as “a waste of time,” even confronting bashers who hurled false accusations against them. Despite these persistent rumors, both continue to shine in their respective careers—Piolo as one of the country’s most acclaimed actors, and Iñigo as a rising star in music and television.

Readers are reminded to be cautious when encountering viral celebrity stories. Always verify information with credible news sources before sharing. Fake news not only misleads fans but also unfairly affects the personal lives of public figures.
