Robbie Jaworski, Robert Jaworski, Dodot Jaworski at Mikee Cojuangco
NAPAKARAMING fun memories ng pinakabagong Star Magic artist na si Robbie Jaworkski sa kanyang lolo, ang PBA legend at dating senador na si Robert Jaworski.
Naaalala pa rin ng anak nina Mikee Cojuangco at Dodot Jaworski ang kanyang kabataan kasama si Jawo lalo na ang bonding moments nila sa paglalaro ng basketball.
“It was my childhood. I would train with my lolo and my dad to the extent na pinutok niya ang labi ko one time,” simulang pahayag ni Robbie sa YouTube channel ni Karen Davila.
“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.
Baka Bet Mo: Mikee, Dodot nakikialam ba sa lovelife ng 3 anak na lalaki?
“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 (siniko) here (sabay hawak sa labi). 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,” pag-alala pa ni Robbie.
Pagpapatuloy pa ng pinakabagong MYX VJ, “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,” aniya pa.
Naichika rin ni Robbie yung panahon na nalaman niya kung gaano kasikat ang lolo niya sa mundo ng 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,14 (years old) 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,” pag-alala pa ni Robbie.
Samantala, natanong din si Robbie kung mahirap ba ang maging isang Jaworski, “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,” sagot ng binata na handa nang sumabak sa pag-aartista.
Matatandaang pumirma ng exclusive contract sa ABS-CBN at Star Magic last November 22.
