LUCY TORRES-GOMEZ on 17-year-old daughter Juliana experiencing first love:
“Ang palagi kong sinasabi kay Richard, it’s inevitable. Ayoko namang lumalaki si Juliana na may takot. Kasi, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a beautiful thing—to fall in love, di ba? Na may manliligaw. It’s part of a girl’s life.”
"Huwag ka munang magbo-boyfriend, kakalbuhin kita!” jokes Richard Gomez.
Does he prohibit Juliana to have a boyfriend yet?
“Bawal pa! “Bata pa kasi. Seventeen pa lang!
“Every once in a while, alam ko, may nanliligaw. May umiikot sa gilid.”
Until now, Juliana hasn’t introduce any boy that she would say her boyfriend…
“Sabi ng mommy niya, ‘Alam mo ba na maraming nanliligaw sa anak mo?’
“Sabi ko, oh, my God! Eto na po! Eto na yun!”
How does he feel?
“Nanlalaming yung batok ko!hahaha!
Lucy also commented on Richard’s note that he isn’t ready yet “I think, any father kasi, hindi talaga handa,” napangiting pasakalye ni Lucy.
“Ang palagi kong sinasabi kay Richard, it’s inevitable.
“Ayoko namang lumalaki si Juliana na may takot. Kasi, it’s not a bad thing.
“It’s a beautiful thing—to fall in love, di ba? Na may manliligaw. It’s part of a girl’s life.
“So, at some point, she will experience that. And then, ang akin lang talaga, she ends up with the right man.
“I can only pray, di ba?”
What are her advices to her daughter?
“I always tell her, ‘Huwag kang magmadali. Sa ngayon, ang liit-liit pa ng mundo mo. Ito lang yung nakikita mo. When you go to college, you meet more people, and marami ka pang makikilala.’
“No reason to just have one boyfriend when you can have many, many friends! Yun ang line ng lahat ng magulang, di ba?!
He she any idea of Richard’s reaction in case suitors of Juliana come?
“I remember, there was one Valentine’s Day, a few years ago… may dumating,”
“Pagkaganda-gandang bulaklak! Pagkalaki-laking teddy bear!
“So, in my mind, ‘Ay! Ang sweet naman ni Richard!’
“Kasi, feeling ko, tingin ko kay Juliana, bata pa… sweet naman ni Richard… sabi ko, ‘Ay! Halika! Patingin ng card!’
“Sabi ng yaya, ‘Kay Inday Juliana ito, Ma’am, hindi sa ‘yo!’
“Hala! Parang may manliligaw na. Yung daddy niya, that time, tulog.
“Paano ko kaya sasabihin kay Richard noon na hindi siya magugulat?
“Paano ko naman itatago ang teddy bear na mas malaki pa sa akin, di ba?
“Habang tulog siya, ginising ko siya. ‘Honey, huwag kang magulat, ha? Pero paglabas mo mamaya, may bulaklak, may malaking teddy bear… hindi ‘yon galing sa ‘yo, para sa akin.”
Richard’s friends Aga Muhlach and Robin Padilla has their own grandchildren no, woes she feel to become a “lola” soon?
“Ay, hindi pa!
“Seventeen pa lang si Juliana. Ang layo pa nun! Hindi pa pwede!”
“Dapat mag-asawa siya, mga ano na siguro… talagang ganun?! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
“Twenty-plus… basta, huwag siyang magmadali.
“Ang sinasabi ko lang talaga, ‘Juliana, I only want whoever God prepared for you. Kung sino man ang lalaking iyon, gusto kong magtagpo kayo.
“’And then, yun yung mapapangasawa mo.’” she stressed.
