Joem Bascon feels no pressure coming from his child’s grandfather Willie Revillame.
In a media conference for The Other Wife, he said Revillame has been helpful to him so far. Bascon’s partner Meryll Soriano, the TV host’s daughter, recently revealed that he is the father of her child.
“Ang importante po lang sa akin… basta ang may pressure sa akin kung papaano ko maibibigay yung kailangan ng anak ko. Kung papaano ko siya mapapalaki nang maayos. Kung ano yung maibibigay kong aral para sa kanya,” he said during a conference on the movie The Other Wife.
Bascon said Revillame is always offering advice and he is grateful for that.
“Pero kung regarding kay Sir Wil, wala naman pong pressure kasi all the time po, lagi kaming kinukumusta.
“Lagi kaming binibigyan ng mga advice, ng tulong, so lagi po akong grateful. Yun po yung laging pag-aalaga niya sa apo niya,” he added.
His main goal is to provide for his family now that he is a father.
“Bilang isang lalake, gusto kong mapatunayan na kaya kong ibigay ang lahat sa pamilya ko. Kaya kong magtrabaho nang maayos, maibigay yung mga pangangailangan nila.”
Bascon wishes Revillame to live a longer and healthier life because his service to the Filipinos is necessary.
“Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga ibinibigay niyo sa amin na tulong, advice, at sana maging healthy [siya] kasi ang dami niyang natutulungan na tao.
“Ang dami niyang napapasayang tao, hindi lamang siya sa pamilya mapagbigay kundi sa buong Pilipinas, sa mga taong nangangailangan.
“So, dapat in good and top shape, in good health po siya.” he said.
The Other Wife is one of the highest-rated shows on VivaMax since it aired on July 16.
