In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, the actor likewise related the most admirable advice his father gave him that he applies in his daily life.

“Ang laging sinasabi ni Daddy, 'wag mo nang sakyan 'yung mali kung ipipilit mo.

“Kumbaga halimbawa, may kaibigan kang mali, kahit kaibigan mo 'yan at alam mong mali 'yung ginawa niya, 'wag mong suportahan. Tingnan mo lagi 'yung tama,” he said.

Kristoffer then shared how his father managed to correct all of his wrongdoings as a child.

“Lagi mo lang tingnan kung ano 'yung tama. 'Pag alam mong mali ka, mali ka. 'Yun 'yung laging principle ni Daddy na na-adopt namin.

“Kahit kami may mali nung bata kami, kahit kapag nagsumbong kami pero nakita niyang kami 'yung mali, hindi niya kami kakampihan, papagalitan niya pa kami. So ganu'n kami pinalaki ng Daddy namin,” Kristoffer added.
