PBB Collab 2.0: Heath Jornales jumps for joy at seeing his father Michael

Heath Jornales could not hold back his emotions as he reunited with his father, actor and fight director Michael Roy Jornales.

On Thursday's episode of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” the father and son jumped for joy and hugged each other as soon as they saw each other again.

Michael gave Heath a gift, a framed photo with his dog Max, to always remember him.

When their time together was over, they tearfully said goodbye.

“I was like overwhelmed with emotions, Kuya. I was feeling happy tas naiyak ako, Kuya, tas excited ako Kuya,” Heath said in the Confession Room. “Mostly po Kuya, napakasaya ko po na nakita ko po ‘yung dada ko, Kuya.”

Heath also said that he can’t imagine life without his family.

“Nalulungkot po kasi ako na, nakikita ko po sila, they’re getting old na po, Kuya. Ayoko ‘yun, Kuya. I just want them to be here lang forever,” he said. “Parang dito po sa bahay wala po sila, sa gabi po Kuya, sometimes I cry myself to sleep po Kuya dahil nami-miss ko na po sila.”

Heath added that the visit gave him strength to keep going.

Michael also shared stories about Heath in the Confession Room, saying that he is a kind kid.
 
“Baby pa po ‘yan, sinasama ko ‘yan sa gym when I train,” he said. He taught Heath until he took formal lessons in martial arts.

“And then nung lumalaki siya, naging sparring partner ko na po siya dahan dahan,” Michael added. “Actually ngayon, siya na ‘yung naghahawak ng mitts for me, so nakakapag-training ako dahil tine-train niya naman ako in return dahil marunong na po siya and mas malaki na po siya kesa sa akin.”

Michael said he and Heath are very close like best friends.

Tearfully, Michael added that he is thankful that Heath “is happy with what he’s doing.”
