Hugot ni Drew sa 3 anak bilang tatay: It’s better to be good than to be right

MAS gumagaan at mas dumadali na ngayon para sa Kapuso TV host na si Drew Arellano ang pagiging tatay sa tatlong anak nila ni Iya Villania.

Pahayag ni Drew, ngayong lumalaki na ang mga bata, mas chill at mas relax na siya sa kanyang mga daddy duties kahit pa nga patuloy pa rin ang banta ng pandemya sa bansa.

Kuwento niya sa mga bonding moments nila ng mga anak, “You have like mga siguro a total of 22 minutes, you want to whack them and for 23 hours and so, so minutes, you really adore them and love them. When they are together, they are so awesome. Super cute sila.” 

Si Drew ang guest ni Bianca Gonzalez para sa Father’s Day episode ng kanyang vlog series na “Paano Ba ‘To?” at dito nga nagkuwento ang mister ni Iya kung paano nga ba niya nababalanse ang pagiging working dad.

“People think I am busy but I am actually not. People don’t know this about me, even before the pandemic, I was already a homebody.

“In terms of TV work, it’s just three days in a week and two days for ‘Biyahe ni Drew.’ The other work, I just do a couple of hours and I’m pretty much home all the time. 

“Every morning, I wake up early to exercise, to train and I am done already by 9 a.m. I’m pretty much like ‘Let’s go kids!’” aniya pa.

Samantala, naibahagi rin ng Kapuso host ang isang madamdaming eksena sa pagitan ng mga anak niyang sina Primo at Leon nu’ng minsang ipaalala niya sa kanyang panganay ang usapan nila pagdating sa paglalaro.

“We give Primo some game time as a reward so in the morning, wala pang game time iyan because it’s just too early in the morning. 

“It was a rest day for me so I was there the whole time. For Leon, wala pang game time iyan. And then I see the Kuya using that gadget of Leon,” sey ni Drew.

Kinuha ni Drew ang phone kay Primo at sinabihang hindi pa time para maglaro ng gadget. Kasunod nito, umiyak na si Primo hanggang sa kinuha nga ni Leon ang cellphone at ibinigay sa kanyang kuyang umiiyak.

At dito niya uli kinausap nang masinsinan ang anak, “I said, ‘Most of the time, it’s better to be good than to be right. Look. What your little brother did, hindi naman niya alam na you can’t have game time. 

“But because he felt that you were crying, and he was such a good brother and he wanted you to stop crying, so he got the phone and he gave it to you. Always remember this,’ sabi ko,” paliwanag pa ni Drew sa kanyang panganay.

“He just gave me a stare and then he played again. Ha-hahaha! But that’s pretty much my mindset. And I’ll pretty much remind them every so often being good is always better than being right,” sabi pa niya.

Sa isang bahagi ng video, hiningan ng mensahe si Drew para sa kanyang younger self, aniya nais lamang niyang ipaalala sa sarili na mag-take ng “chill pill.”

“I think every first-time father has that feeling of fear. ‘Oh no what am I gonna do?’ It will come to you. Always listen, take cues na rin from the wife because it’s pretty much their journey more than you as the first-time parent.

“The hard work is actually gonna be coming from them, done by them. You gotta just take the cues. You gotta be more sensitive,” lahad pa ni Drew.
