» on popularity «

--» "Okey lang if people recognize me, Sometimes I smile at them, but most of the time I feel conscious, especially when you're in the malls. And Girls, okey lang kung may crush sila sa akin. They're fun to work with. Basta ako, trabaho lang muna. I'm still young. Most of the time, If I have no showbiz commitment, I just stay at home and sleep the whole day, if not, I play basketball or watch TV." ---From an article by Maryo B. Labad, Glitter Magazine number 14 volume 4 April 16 - 30, 1996

» on showbiz «

--» "I entered the crazy world of show business because of the money. What I enjoy most about being in showbiz is the monetary reward, special attentiion, talent, recognition, the experience. What I don't like about being in showbiz is the intrigues, staying up late, no privacy." --from abs-cbn.com --» "I started off with commercials. I was six years old then, I barely remember it (Kraft Eden Cheese) and after doing many other commercials (Ovaltine, Purefoods Hotdog, Smart, among others), I entered the show "Ang TV". Then after that, I did a movie. So there, that's how my career in showbusiness started. "

» on girls «

--» "What attracts me to a girl... her confidence, maturity, and intelligence. Love to me is for responsible, matured individuals." --from abs-cbn.com --» "I'm attracted to simple ladies. `Yung walang kiyeme. She has to be mabait and matalino. `Yung may sense and wit in terms of talking to me para masaya... `di ba?" "No, she doesn't have to be very beautiful as long as she's presentable and simple. Kasi there are instances when we sometimes want someone who's beautiful and all that stuff, tapos you fall in love with another person who's the opposite of your dream girl... things like that really happen `di ba?"

» on love «

--» "Sometimes nga, we'd realize na we're falling in love na pala with someone who's crazy, when in fact, we don't know why we feel that way." --from an article by Chanchan Torres, Blitz Magazine number 10 2/25/97 --» "Ayokong pagpiyestahan ng lahat ang anumang gusto kong maging private sa buhay ko. Kumbaga, ‘yung love life ko, I rather keep it a secret hangga’t kaya ko. I mean, kung kaya ko lang talagang itago ‘yun sa lahat, eh, gagawin ko talaga." --» "Ako 'yung tipo na kapag nagmahal ng isang babae, sa kanya lang nakasentro ang buhay at isip ko. Well, of course, hindi ko pa rin naman pababayaan ang trabaho ko, pero kapag in-love kasi ako, grabe talaga." --» "I'm still hoping na 'pagdumating 'yung time na ma-in love ako, she's gonna be the first and the last." --» "I haven't felt that kind of love pa na as in may intensity talaga. I've always wanted na sana my first love would be the last. That's one thing I really pray for. Pero siyempre, if there are lessons na gusto ko talagang malaman at matutunan, sana all the positive things about love lang. Na sana I'd learn how to handle situations na sinasabi nilang mahirap."

--» "I don't wanna say na nagsasalita ako ng patapos, so, let's juzz see if something will happen in the future. But right now, Paula is still young. She's juzz fifteen and I'm eighteen, siguro kapag nag-sixteen na siya. I don't know. Para sa'kin, mas maganda na 'yung ganito na we don't tell lies to anybody na I'm courting her but not naman. What's more important is that we're okay and we can work good together naman. If something comes along the way, then , we'll see." --from March 12, 2000, chismis.ph

--» "Wala lang. She looks mabait. She's got this maamo face. Kasi I believe na sometimes we don't exactly know why we like or love someone, eh. I've told you this na, `di ba? Na when you like someone, it just happens. Ganoon lang." --from an article by Chanchan Torres, idol magazine number 83 10/27/97

» his summer plans «

--» "Well, I go out with my friends. We go to another friend's house at doon lang magkukulitan at magku-kuwentuhan. Sometimes, biglaan lang, we'd decide to go to the beach or sa isang resort. Ganoon lang. Wala akong particular na fave place. Anywhere that's cool and not suffocating, okey sa akin 'yon." (from Pinoy Central)

» his worst intrigue «

--» "Ang worst intrigue ko, so far, eh, 'yung lumabas lang recently. They were accusing me na nagda-drugs daw ako kaya ako pumayat. That's the worst intrigue, but I'm not affected kasi that's not true naman talaga, eh. Kaya lang, apektado ang image ko do'n sa tsismis na 'yon. Kung hindi nila ako kilala, baka nga isipin nila na ganu'n ako. Hindi nila alam na talagang malakas makapayat 'yung gabi-babi, eh, puyat ka. "Ay, meron pa palang isa. Actually, hindi naman siya intriga. It was an observation from the reporters na sobrang atipatiko raw at suplado ang dating ko. Pero na-correct naman kaagad 'yon. "I finally realized na mahalaga pala talaga ang reporters 'coz they are the one who make write-ups para makilala ka ng mga tao."

» on gays «

--» "Never akong papatol sa mga gay. Hanggang role na lang 'yon at huwag sanang ma-misinterpret. Hindi naman ako suplado sa mga gays. In fact, I have lots of gay friends. Okay lang sa akin makipagkaibigan sa kanila pero hanggang doon na lang ang maibibigay ko sa kanila," ---From PinoyCentral.com, May 2000

» miscellaneous «

--» "Hindi naman ako siguro gano'n katanda para maging past tense agad." -his reaction on the emergence of new young stars --» "Hindi. Kasi naniniwala akong everyone deserves to be given a chance. Besides, alam ko namang kahit ano'ng mangyari, my fans will always be there para sa akin. Isa pa, mabait at magaling naman si John Lloyd and we get along fine, okey kasama `yun. Walang problema. --his answer when asked if John Lloyd's coming to showbiz is a threat --» "I can say na naapektuhan talaga no'n ang career ko. In terms of shows, hindi ako nawalan. But I realized na ako talaga ang lumalayo sa press. Now, I just wanna make friends with them (the press) and forget all the neagtive wirte-ups. It was my fault din naman, eh, kasi I was a little suplado before. When they (the press) would interview me I would give short answers. I'm trying to change now and be a better Patrick." --» "What will happen to us still depends on what we do. Hindi naman mangyayari ang isang bagay kung hindi natin gagawin, 'di ba? --thank you to Emgee for this! --» "If I was a kitchen utensil, I'd be a knife. Matalas. Kailangang maayos ang gamit mo or baka mahiwa ka. Verbal assaults sa akin, pinapayagan ko but not yung kasamang physical, lalaban na ako niyan. Akala nila very frail ako but I'm not, I can also fight if I know I am right." --read more comparisons like this here

» his advice «

"My advice to my young friends and supporters out there... if you want to do something, it has to be 100% sure. Hindi p'wedeng 50 - 50. And if you want to combine studies and showbiz, you have to devote time to both; hindi p'wedeng I'll do this pero hindi ka sigurado na matatapos mo. I can always enroll in a regular school, but for the meantime, DECS muna." --from Glitter Special numnber 2 June - July - August 1997
