Ken Chan says pets are part of his sources of joy amid quarantine
Kapuso actor Ken Chan admits hat his pets are one of his constant sources of joy during the quarantine period.
In an exclusive interview with Unang Hirit on Wednesday, May 27, the actor not just bragged about his adorable pets but introduced a new one, an African Grey Parrot named Pasha.
“May aso ako, may pusa ako. Ngayon naman, mayroon akong parrot bird. Ang pangalan niya Pasha. Ibig sabihin ng Pasha sa Russian word, small.
“Every time na inaalagaan ko sila, nakikita ko sila, nakakatulong sila ngayon sa lockdown. Napapasaya nila ako kahit papaano,” he said.

Meanwhile, the show's host, Lyn Ching, asked Ken about his recent Facebook live for the #HealingHearts online donation campaign and concert, where he burst into tears while giving praise for the modern day heroes.
“Hindi ko po talaga maiwasan na maluha habang nagdadasal ako.
"At habang nagdadasal ako, talagang 'di ko napigilang lumuha kasi naalala ko 'yung mga frontliner and may mga kamag-anak din kasi kami na mga frontliner din.
“'Yung mga sakripisyo na ginawa nila para mapabuti tayong lahat.
"'Tsaka naaalala ko 'yung mga taong sumakabilang buhay dahil sa virus na 'to.
"'Yun talaga 'yung nakahabag ng puso, so hindi ko talaga napigilang lumuha.
“Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng 'yon, everyday sa kabilang ng mga dasal, talagang looking forward ako na lahat ito matatapos din at lahat ng ito pansamantala lang," Ken related.
