Kuya Kim


Kuya Kim's son Jose is following his footsteps in the loving luxury scooter brand Vespa.

Kapuso news anchor Kim Atienza unearthed a throwback photo of him with his son Jose taken when he was just one year old. The father and son were posing near Kuya Kim's Vespa scooter. Another photo posted shows Jose in 2022, aboard the Vespa with a bright smile.

He wrote, "2003, Jose at 1 year old and 2022, Jose at 19 years old. Same scoot almost 2 decades later.”

"Old Vespas never die, they're passed on to the next generation. (Patek yata yun hehe),” he continued. "I'm just so happy my son can now ride a manual grip shift scooter which is not an easy task. Most scooter riders still can't do it after many years of riding.”

"The time to let go of that scoot has come. That Vespa is now yours dear son. Take care of it and hand it down to your son when his time comes,” he said. "When Papa is old and gray, please take me on a piggy back ride on that same old Vespa.”

He concluded, "Vespas are forever. #vespaGS160 1966.”
