According to the report of Bandera, father of Miguel Bagtas has rendered 10 years of service to actor Piolo Pascual and resigned as the actor’s personal driver due to health problems.

The young actor’s statement, based on the report, he was just only a child then when his father brought him to the shootings of Piolo which the actor ,on the other hand, permits his driver to do so.

He even said that he has also been with Moi, the personal assistant of Piolo, whenever he stays on the actor’s house.

“Kaya bata pa lang po ako marami na akong artista na nakita. Minsan po nandoon po ako sa loob ng dressing room ng mga host sa ASAP. Tapos ipapakilala po ako ni Piolo, na anak ako ng driver niya,” Miguel Bagtas added.

It is not first time of Miguel to appear on television. He was also included in one of Piolo’s movie entitled “On the Job” where he got the role as the son of the artist Joey Marquez.

And that’s when his journey to stardom started. He got the role of Jairus, the second son of Lotlot de Leon in the film he had auditioned entitled “1st Sem”.
