ITO PALA ANG MGA ANAK NI JOSE MANALO NA TALAGANG NAG PA-PROUD SA KANYA DAHIL SA MGA NARATING NILA!

Did you know that television host and comedian Jose Manalo has five children? It may not seem like it but apparently, he tries to be a loving father to them as much as possible.

Based on Philippine Entertainment Portal’s report, the comedian is actually separated from his wife, Annalyn Manalo. All of his children are staying with her since 2012.

But despite the physical distance, Jose Manalo manages to stay close to them emotionally. He admitted that he does not talk about them that much in interviews.

The comedian explained:

“Ayoko pa, kasi hindi pa masyado maayos lahat. Gusto ko, kapag nagsalita, malinis na malinis na. Kasi sabi nga, ang libro, kapag inumpisahan mo sa first page, malinis na malinis na ‘yan. Maganda naman ang takbo nila, maganda ang takbo ko.”

According to him, the important thing is that he’s in touch with them. Jose said:

“Yung komunikasyon namin ng mga bata, okey naman. So hindi para natin bulabugin, pero God’s will, magiging maayos na rin lahat.” 

The source cited that he is extremely proud of his children, including his daughter Myki. She is now a doctor after she recently passed her licensure exam.

The comedian said, “Siyempre, para makapagpatapos ka ng isang bata, kahit hindi nila ako kasama, pero ipinakita nila na yung taong nagpapaaral sa amin, bibigyan namin ng karangalan. Nakakatuwa yun.”

Jose Manalo revealed that he has already talked to Myki. He said, “Oo, nagkausap na kami. Siya raw ang gagamot sa akin. Gagamutin niya raw ako.”

Myki graduated with a degree in B.S. Psychology from De La Salle University-Manila in 2012. She completed her Doctor of Medicine at the Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) Institute of Medicine.

The comedian joked, “Siguro gagamutin niya ang utak ko.”

Jose shared that he’s also proud of his two sons – Nicco and Benj – who have managed to follow his footsteps in the local showbiz industry. According to him:

“Okey sila, natutuwa ako. Sabi ko nga, noong nag-i-start sila, noong nag-aaral pa lang, sabi ko nga, ‘Kung gusto niyong mag-artista, hindi ko kayo tutulungan. Gumawa kayo… Siguro dahil doon ako nanggaling, hindi ako bigla na lang nandito. At saka, ayokong malalaman na lang na, ‘Uy, anak pala ni Jose.’” “Ayokong kukunin ang anak ko kasi anak ko. So sabi ko, ‘Gumawa kayo ng pangalan kung gusto niyo.’ Pero siyempre, sa maayos na paraan, at ako ang unang-unang matutuwa para sa kanila. At ipinapakita naman nila ngayon. Masaya ako sa mga nangyayari sa buhay nila ngayon.” 

Jose Manalo said that he sees his children from time to time. He added: “Oo, masaya sila para sa akin, sobra. Kapag nagkikita-kita kami, kahit saglit lang, masaya. Iba yung parang konti ang pinagkuwentuhan, pero ang dami-dami na. Puro good, puro paalala bilang isang magulang. Yun lang ang ibinibigay ko sa kanila.”
