Today, June 19, we are celebrating Father's Day.
This is the third Father's Day we are celebrating while the pandemic rages on.
As such, we still want to give tribute to dads who made an impact on our lives.
'Voltes V: Legacy' star Matt Lozano credits his love for music to his dad.
"Sinabi ko lang sa kanya na, 'Pa, gusto kong matutuong mag-gitara.' Noong tme na 'yun, nakatira kami ng mga kapatid ko sa lola ko sa Gapan, Nueva Ecija. Si Papa pumunta ng Gapan galing sa Manila para ibigay 'yung acoutic guitar ko na 'yun. Doon nagsimula lahat ng hilig ko sa music. It's because of my dad," he says.
Meanwhile, Myrtle Sarrosa owes her confidence to her dad who has always encouraged her love of anime and cosplay.
"Matagal ko na kasing plano at pangarap na gayahin 'yung mga paborito kong anime character. Si Papa 'yung naturo sa akin manood ng anime. Magkasama kami before manood ng anime together. Lumipad kami from Iloilo to Manila, 'tapos sinamahan niya ako mag-cosplay. Kahit mukha akong weirdo na naka-wig, naka-costume, si Papa gandang-ganda sa akin," she recalls.
It was also her father who convinced her to join an anime singing competition.
"Siya pa 'yung pumilit sa akin na sumali sa isang contest kung saan sumali ako na naka-costume at kumanta. Noong time na 'yun, wala talaga 'kong nakahandang song number na anime. Siya pa mismo 'yung umalis and naghanap ng pwedeng makapag-burn ng CD para mayroon lang akong kantahin on stage. Becuase of that, nanalo ako, first place. Credits ko 'yun kay Papa," Myrtle shares.
