Benjie Paras and Andre Paras


Andre Paras hosted a Q&A session with his dad, Benjie Paras, where the former revealed the reason why he secretly watches his son's basketball game.

PBA legend Benjie Paras appeared as a guest in Andre Paras's talk show, 'Shout Out Andre.'

There, Andre and Benjie did a father-and-son Q&A session.

Andre mentioned how it's pretty cool how they grew up watching their dad play basketball and now, it's Benjie's turn to watch him and his younger brother, Kobe Paras.

Benjie then revealed that he only watches Andre and Kobe's games in secret.

"Pero I don't watch your games 'di ba? I mean I don't tell you that I'm going to watch because I don't want you to get pressured. I don't want people comparing you to me, iba, it's different, you're still young.

"When you were playing in grade school ang ginagawa ko, they will ask me 'Are you going to watch?' [sabi ko] 'I'll try.' Pero I will not show myself pero andoon ako, watching. And then 'pag dumating sila after ng game, [tatanungin nila] 'Did you watch?' [I will say] 'Ah yeah, nakahabol ako,'" said Benjie.

Andre recalls seeing his dad in his games, tucked away in one corner, watching them play while wearing a serious and unmoving face.
