ICYDK, Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales' two children, Atasha and Andres, are both living in Europe to pursue their college degrees. Atasha is currently taking up a business-related course in the United Kingdom, while Andres is studying in Spain.
In the virtual media conference for his magazine show Bida Ka Kay Aga, the veteran actor shared his thoughts about his children's independence. While the thought of letting their children go to foreign countries all by themselves would scare most parents, Aga said that it was easy for him and his wife.
"Hindi naging masyadong mahirap para sa amin ni Charlene na umalis ang mga anak namin at pumasok sa kolehiyo dahil mula nung nag-asawa kami ni Charlene, napag-usapan na namin iyan," he shared.
He explained that at the end of the day, their children would grow up and have families of their own. "Ang anak natin, paglaki ng mga iyan, mag-aasawa, iiwan din tayo, magpapamilya. [Ang] importante, tayong dalawa magkasama talaga."
The veteran actor also said that his children's independence was of *utmost* importance to him. Since they didn't have anyone to rely on abroad, they were forced to become independent.
"Dahil sila lang ang nandun, natututo silang kumilos mag-isa, mag-ayos ng kuwarto nila, magluto, mag-ayos ng gamit nila, mag-budget ng pera nila, lahat," he shared.
Aga said that he and Charlene can rest easy knowing that their children are responsible—even when they aren't with them. Aww!
