According to a source, Cesar was only concerned about his son’s welfare.
“Even if my late dad never pampered me and didn’t buy me material gifts because we were poor, I am still thankful to him. I never lambasted him for the tough life we had. Our struggles made me learn the value of hard work.”

AFTER six years of being couples, Mikael Daez fi nally admits his relationship with 2013 Miss World Megan Young.
“Ano bang words ang gusto ninyong lumabas sa bibig ko?Hahaha! Okey, we’ve been together…wow this is for the fi rst time! I’ve been with Megan Young for six years and first time kong inaamin ‘yan. Magugulat ang mga tao dahil hindi nila alam kung gaano katagal na kami. This is the first time I’m putting it on record.”
Mikael wasn’t able to disclose the truth because at that time he was being paired with Andrea Torres, and Megan was with ABS, until she won the Miss World Pageant.
“Ako, I wanted to respect her space and at the same time, parang nasanay na tayo na hindi ko na sinasabi.”
Wasn’t it hard for him not to admit their relationship?
“Noong maging kaibigan ko na ang mga press, hindi na. Tayu-tayo lang naman ‘to. Ang liit lang ng circle natin and noong maging magkaibigan tayo, there was trust. Naiintindihan niyo kung saan kami nanggagaling.
“Hindi naman bastusan ang dahilan. Hiningi ng network, hiningi ng negosyo. So yun lang and I guess, kahit sa inyo, nasanay rin kayo, nasanay ang press, nasanay ang audience, yung tao, yung fans.”
Ang dami, ang daming nangyari.
“Ang dami niyo ring tanong sa akin, ‘Hindi ka ba nagseselos nang mag-Miss World siya.’
“Alam niyo, proud ako diyan. Sobrang proud ako riyan. And I told you, I told those people that I am close in the business na sobrang proud ako na tumagal kami. Kahit tinatago namin, kahit may mga issues, kahit hindi namin kailangang aminin na tuluy-tuloy pa rin kami dahil honest lang kami.
“Walang pekean. Hindi kailangang sabihin dahil sa work. But otherwise, when we’re together, kung makita niyo kami sa daan, sa mall, sa beach—wala lang. ‘Ahhh, sila pala.’”
Was there any “selosan” in those six years?
“Teka, iisipin ko ha… Meron, meron ‘yan.”
On his part or on Megan’s part?
“I think, sa part niya, kasi nagkaroon ako ng maraming ka-loveteam. Siya naman, nag-Miss World siya. Siyempre, kapag may loveteam, kahit anong mangyari, natural na may selosan.”
Did Megan take it aginst him when he was paired with Andrea Torres?
“Oo, siyempre. First loveteam yun, e. Actually yun, nag-usap kami run. Nagkaroon ng masinsinan kaming usapan tungkol kay Andrea at never na negative outcome ang pagseselos.
“Palagi naming napag-uusapan, and ako naman, if you get to know me, very open naman akong tao, e. Kung gusto kong tanungin, tatanungin ko talaga. Yung openness talaga ang key and honesty.
” When it comes to their roles are there no limitations in accepting roles which would require love scenes?
“Wala. Halikan niya si Dong, okey, go lang. Kung halimbawa, may tanggapin siyang potentially award-winning role na she has to be daring, okey lang. Kung yun ang gusto niya, go for it. I’ll respect it.
“Alam ko naman na mas open ako sa relationship. Siguro dahil siya ang babae, mas emotional siya. Pero alam ko na ibibigay niya rin sa akin yun.”
At this point in their relationship, are wedding plans being talked about?
“Work, work muna. Malaking bagay talaga, e. I think it does affect your work. I think image is very important also. But I think, beyond all that, ang importante riyan, kung ano ang relationship naming dalawa.
“Kahit ano ang label na na isalpak mo sa amin, wala kaming pakialam, e. What matters is kung paano kami nagku-konek sa isa’t isa. I guess, from time to time, lumilitaw. Pero, I think yung stand namin is, okey tayo ‘no?
“Wala kaming pakialam. Kahit anong sabihin nila—hindi kami mag-dyowa, magdyowa kami, magpapakasal na kami, hindi kami magpapakasal ever—it doesn’t matter. Salita lang yun, label lang yun. So para sa amin, wala kaming pakialam sa label,”
In terms of relationship is concerned, is six years not long enough which in the case of other relationships lead to separation?
“May mga nagkukuwento nga sa akin. Nakikita natin. Dito sa showbiz, mas lalo na. I think, that’s a fear. That’s always fear. You’ll never know naman. You’ll never know what’s going to happen. We’re enjoying naman and we’re enjoying each other as of the moment.”
Does he see himself ending up with Megan?
“Ay, noo, naman! Hindi naman ako papasok sa isang relationship na hindi ko nakikitang may long-term potential. Pero at the same time, enjoy every moment. Kasi, kung napi-pressure ka, minsan nga, yung takot dun, yun pa ang nagiging dahilan kaya hindi tumatagal.
“Pero sa totoo lang, wala naman silang problema. So minsan, yung takot pa ang nagiging problema.” he explained.
