Explaining how difficult it was to navigate those situations at such a young age, Iñigo said, “Every time may issue, sa school ko, ako yung tinatanong ng mga teachers. I was six years old, seven years old. It was not an easy environment to be in.”

Iñigo also recalled that before his relationship with Piolo became widely known to the public, there were people who questioned whether the veteran actor was really his father. He said some of those doubts surfaced during school activities whenever Piolo was unable to attend.

Recalling those moments, he said, “There were times sa school na gusto nilang papuntahin si Papa sa mga events. Tapos pag hindi nakapunta si Papa, sasabihin nila, ‘Baka hindi naman talaga siya tatay,’” he recalled.

Looking back, Iñigo admitted that he struggled to understand why adults would direct such questions toward a young child.

Reflecting on the experience, he added, “I didn’t know how people could have the courage to ask me questions about it when I was really six years old.”

Clarifying his feelings, he said, “I was never mad at my dad for any issues that were thrown at him. I was more bothered by the people who were quick to believe the issues and would judge,” he said.

Despite the difficult experiences he encountered growing up, Iñigo emphasized that he never held any resentment toward his father over the controversies that surrounded him. Instead, he said his frustration was directed at those who immediately believed rumors and judged without knowing the truth.

Iñigo Pascual is a prominent Filipino singer, songwriter, and actor who rose to fame with his 2016 chart-topping hit single "Dahil Sa'yo." Beyond his success in OPM (Original Pilipino Music), he has expanded his career internationally with a starring role in the American musical drama series Monarch and continues to release music across the Philippines and the United States.

In the same interview, Iñigo shared that he expected to be compared with his father, Piolo, when he entered show business, but chose to see carrying their family name as a blessing and a source of motivation. He admitted feeling pressure early in his career, especially because he entered the industry without extensive training. According to Iñigo, finding success as a singer-songwriter helped him build confidence and carve out his own identity beyond being recognized as Piolo's son.

Earlier, Iñigo injured his knee once again after jumping from the stage during a recent mall event. The actor-singer chose to continue performing despite the injury and completed his set. His professionalism earned praise from a social media user, and he later shared updates while undergoing treatment.
