Which they are completely right, <i>dapat nga talaga tapusin ko ang pag-aaral,&#x27;</i> Diego related in an interview during a recent fashion show with Jane Oineza, Ella Cruz and Nash Aguas.</div><div><br/></div><div>According to Diego, he&#x27;s thinking of pursuing fine arts in college soon. &#x27;<i>Balak ko pa nga pagsabayin ang </i>college<i> ko sa</i> La Salle or <i>sa</i> UP<i> sa</i> showbiz<i> pero</i> we&#x27;ll see how it goes first after this show. <i>Gusto kong makatapos muna</i> <i>ng</i> <i>buong </i>college life<i>. Kasi iba rin ang nakaranas ka ng</i> regular college eh,&#x27; he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>However, he promised to give showbiz 100% of his efforts. <i>“Kung mag-aaral ako</i>, 100 percent <i>akong mag-aaral. Kung magso-</i>showbiz<i> ako</i>, 100 percent<i> ako sa</i> showbiz. So,<i> ngayon na nabigay ko na ang</i> time<i> ko sa pag-aaral</i>, showbiz<i> naman</i>,&#x27; he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Both his parents Teresa Loyzaga and Cesar Montano are support supportive of his endeavors. &#x27;She comes back every three months. <i>Nung nawala ako ng medyo matagal </i>it&#x27;s because I went there for citizenship reasons. I had to go back there for a while<i> kasi hinahanap ako ng</i> embassy,&#x27; Diego revealed about why he flew to the Land Down Under.</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div>Since he stayed in Australia for a while, many said that he had been left behind by his <i>Growing Up</i> contemporaries Teen King and Queen Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo and <i>Ikaw Lamang</i> star Julia Montes, career-wise. “It’s nothing. Everything happens for a reason<i> naman po eh.</i> I’m so happy for them.<i> Seryoso</i>,&#x27; he said, shrugging off the comparisons./</div><div><br/></div><div>Diego said his own time will eventually come saying that, “<i>Sana nga nakasabayan ko sila, pero nauna sila.</i> Okay<i> lang, </i>we will have our own time <i>naman eh.</i> We all have our own time to shine. So, right now, <i>nauna sila</i>, I’m very happy<i> po.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>Meanwhile, Diego was also asked how his father was faring these days after facing a controversial split with his now estranged wife Sunshine Cruz with whom he has three daughters.</div><div><br/></div><div>&#x27;Good, good. My Dad is a very religious man. <i>Anak ako</i> so<i> siyempre</i> typically <i>sasabihin ko</i> he&#x27;s a very wise man. He knows what he&#x27;s doing.<i> Alam niya po ang ginagawa niya,</i>&#x27; Diego stated.</div><div><br/></div><div>Diego claimed that he makes sure to check on his father every once a while. &#x27;Like I said he&#x27;s very religious, he&#x27;s giving back and I like seeing that in my Dad. He really gives back to everybody, &#x27; he ended.</div>
