“Kasi baka mag ten years old siya, otsenta na ako. Hindi na kaya. Desisyon na. Kasi iniisip ko na masyado na akong may edad para magkaanak pa ngayon. Baka hindi ko na abutin ang pagkabinata niya, pagkaladaga niya, mag-asawa na siya. Gusto ko maabot ko ‘yung mga apo ko eh,” he said.

“In fairness, I’m so lucky kasi ang mga anak ko, ang pag-treat nila sa isa’t-isa, hindi half-brother, hindi half-sister. Sa amin, there’s no such thing as half-brother o half-sister. It’s either brother or sister lang. Ang kagandahan, very protective sila sa isa’t-isa,” he stated.
