Social media celebrity Whamos Cruz can only hope that his baby doesn’t take any similarities from him.
On June 20, his partner Antonette Gail del Rosario announced that she was expecting a child after two pregnancy tests came out positive. Cruz was just as surprised as his followers upon hearing the news.
“Sa totoo lang kasi, actually pinag-isipan namin nang matagal ‘to, hindi lang namin basta ginawa ‘to. Pinag-isipan namin nang maigi,” he said.
“May dumating nanamang blessing sa amin. Sa lahat ng blessing na dumating sa amin ito yung pinakamagandang blessing para sa amin. Magkakababy na kami guys,” he added.
The couple also addressed the inevitable bashing that they’d receive. Cruz promised that their child would not suffer the same way they did.
“Syempre sa lahat ng mambabash dyan panigurado ‘yan. Ibabash n’yo kami pero ito lang ang sasabihin namin sa inyo. Go lang, i-bash n’yo lang kami basta wala kaming pakialam sa inyo kasi una sa lahat hindi kayo ang gagastos dito kungdi kami. So go lang, i-push n’yo lang. I-bash niyo lang kami nang i-bash basta alam namin kung ano po yung tama at mali,” Cruz furthered.
“Syempre bago muna namin ito [magkababy] pinag-isipan, sinigurado muna namin at sinecure muna namin yung buhay namin kung ano yung magiging meron talaga kami bago kami magkababy para hindi na mahirapan si baby, hindi niya rin maranasan yung hirap ng buhay na ginagawa ko dati noon,”
Fellow social media personality Xian Gaza jokingly wished that the baby would take more features from her mother. Cruz didn’t hesitate to agree, and Gaza respects him for it.
“JUSKO HUWAG NAMAN SANA NIYA MAGING KAMUKHA ANG BATA IN JESUS NAME,” Gaza wrote.
Cruz said that it is more important to have money than to look attractive.
“Whamos Cruz tama. I agree with you. Pero bakit kailangan maging masayang hampaslupa kung pwede naman pala maging masayang mayaman? Mas madaling maging masaya kung marami kang pera dahil inaalis nito yung 85% ng ating mga problema na humahadlang tungo sa masayang buhay.” Gaza said in a reply.
Cruz, who has millions of followers, is fully aware that his appearance is a common target for good comedy. With full acknowledgment, he also relies on it to entertain his followers.
