Yung dalawa kong anak na babae kasi hindi lumaki sa akin. Pero sinikap ko na bawat pagkakataon, nadoon ako para sa kanila,&quot; Ogie said.&quot;Lumilipad ako ng Australia para makapiling sila kahit sandali lang. Napakasakit noon para sa kanila––hindi naman nila kasalanan yun,” he added.The singer-host added that he is grateful to his ex-wife and her new husband for being with his children during those times when he couldn&#x27;t be there for them.But Ogie said that he tries his best to become a perfect dad even though it’s hard and impossible to achieve.“We try our best under the circumstances. Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga anak ko dahil lumaki silang magagaling na anak––mga mabubuting anak. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Michelle at kay Mark, ang kaniyang asawa, na pinalaki nila yung mga anak kong babae na mapagmahal at yung pagkakataon na hindi kami magkakasama pinupuno nila yun,” he said.Meanwhile, Jhong expressed how proud he is of his daughter, Sarina. He wore a custom-made suit with his daughter&#x27;s face in it during the Father’s Day special of the noontime show.“Nakakatuwa lang na at the age of 2, nakakapagpangiti na siya, nakakapagpatawa na siya, nakaka-inspire na siya ng maraming tao. Para sakin, isang blessing na napakalaki na binigay sakin yun. Sobrang proud lang ako,” he said.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/6/2/anne-curtis-praises-eat-bulaga-they-have-set-the-benchmark-1324">READ: Anne Curtis praises Eat Bulaga: ‘They have set the benchmark’ </a></div>Jhong admitted that he doesn’t know if he’s a “cool” dad to his daughter but said that he hopes she would see the things he&#x27;s doing right now for her when she grows up.“Gusto ko lang sabihin na napakaswerte ko sa anak ko dahil nakikita ko na masayahin siyang bata. Paglaki mo, wag mong kalimutan maging maka Diyos at makipagkapwa tao,” he said.Vhong, on the other hand, expressed how sorry he was for not being able to spend as much time with his two sons while they were growing up. Vhong explained that it was because he was working hard for their future.&quot;Alam ko nung bata pa sila ang laki ng pagkukulang ko dahil mas nagiging priority ko ang trabaho ko noon. Pero ngayon, ito yung bawi ko sa kanila––kung ano pa yung kaya kong ibigay gagawin ko sa kanila,” he said.The 46-year-old host vowed to make up for the lost time by doing more activities with his two sons.“Hayaan niyo si daddy na bumawi kayo na malalaki na kayo––na makasama kayo [at] mapagbigyan kayo sa anong gusto niyo. Sana wag kayong magsawa at sana nadiyan pa rin kayo kahit na may edad na kayo,” he shared.
