is making a name for himself in the showbiz industry.
In an interview with entertainment website Push.com.ph, Gandanghari
said he is glad that Padilla enjoys his parents’ full support in
showbiz.
“I’m very proud of this boy kasi parang siya ‘yung sumusunod sa yapak
namin, ‘di ba? At least alam mo may sumusunod at maganda naman ‘yung
suporta ng mommy’t daddy niya,” he said.
Gandanghari describes his nephew as a respectful boy.
“We see each other every time na may mga get-together si Rommel and
he’s (Daniel) very respectful, ‘yun ‘yung gusto ko sa batang ‘yan, eh.
He just takes me as I am,” he said.
Gandanghari said he also appreciates Padilla for respecting his decision to stay as “BB Gandanghari.”
Last Sunday, Padilla said he is in no position to reject Gandanghari,
adding that he respects his choice in life for as long as it makes him
happy.
Meanwhile, Gandanghari shared that he is glad to know that his mother Eva Cariño is now becoming more accepting of him.
“Si mama now palagay ko dumarating na siya sa punto na nage-gets na niya. Kumbaga unti-unti na niyang natatangap si BB. In fact manonood siya [ng stage play ko na Halik ng Tarantula],” he said.
Aside from his mom, Gandanghari said his brother Rommel and his nephews will also be watching the show.
“Rommel is actually watching. Ang nakakatuwa n’yan ang sabi nila sa akin… ang manonood si Rommel [at] halos lahat ng pamangkin kong lalaki. ‘Di ba, very interesting?” Gandanghari said.
Gandanghari said seeing this kind of support from some of his family members actually makes him feel loved.
“Masaya. That makes me [keep] going, kasi napakahirap kung hindi. Kasi ‘di ba, kung alam mong ikaw lang mag-isa… ‘yung simpleng gano’ng support, it really means a lot, especially sa ganitong klaseng proyektong [na] ang hirap [gawin],” he said.
