MANILA -- Star Magic's newest artist Robbie Jaworkski opened up about his life growing up with his grandfather, PBA legend and former senator Robert Jaworski.

In Karen Davila's latest vlog, Robbie who was with his mother, Mikee Cojuangco, said that he grew up going to his lolo's house and play basketball with him.

"It was my childhood. I would train with my lolo and my dad to the extent na pinutok niya ang labi ko one time," Robbie recalled.

"Ako po 'yung panganay na apo sa mga lalaki. So I usually try to say na 'let's play one-on-one.' One time, it was close, the first time I was about to beat him. He takes a shot and misses it so I jumped to get the ball but he's taller me, he gets the ball and bam like that (I got elbowed) here (on my lip). I think I still have the scar. During that time it really hurt paiyak na po ako and he went like that to my batok 'ano ka ba it's part of the game, check the ball.' Game again," Robbie said.

Robbie then shared his key takeaway from the experience.

"Going through the motion of the discipline teaches you so much about life. It's not always about the destination it's mostly about the journey and how hard it is that journey, through discipline, face 'yung iba't ibang adversities in order to succeed," Robbie said.

Robbie also recalled  a special moment when he realized that his granfather was an icon of Philippine basketball.

"I actually have a good story for this. So siyempre we grew up everyone's telling you 'wow! your lolo is my idol, he's a legend.' So in that extent we already knew. But there's one day na may in-attend kaming Gilas match. It was in the middle of the second quarter, we were late to the game. I was going with my lolo and we arrived into MOA Arena. They called a time out because my lolo entered the arena. And the entire crowd was chanting our last name. (I was) 14 po siguro so I was shocked. I mean it was not a Ginebra game, it was a Gilas game and yet the entire arena was chanting our last name and I could just remember na kinikilabutan po ako.  And I was just like 'wow this is so surreal.' And the longer that you get to expose to that, the more that you learn also that  as a third generation individual na that there's also a responsibility to carrying such a name as well," Robbie said.

Asked of the responsibility being a Jaworski, Robbie said: "I think in order for us in my family not to complicate anything, it's just a matter of you know striving to be a person of integrity and trying to be a good person. Just spreading goodness where you can and trying to develop ourselves to do our little part in hopefully giving back also one day," Robbie said.

Robbie signed a contract with ABS-CBN's Star Magic last November 22. The son of Mikee and Robert Jaworski Jr.  will be making a name for himself as MYX VJ.
