I think more of moments na I would think to myself, how hard it would probably be to get through the situation or to maybe talk to this person or when you&#x27;re fighting with someone, how you&#x27;ll get through that,” Donny said.</p><p>Donny added that, like anyone else, he sometimes fights with his siblings and how difficult it can get.</p><p>“Growing up, you know, as a kid with four other siblings, we didn&#x27;t really fight a lot. We’re five, (I have) four other siblings, we didn&#x27;t really fight a lot. But when we fought, we would really fight. Kasi, mga alpha kami lahat eh, I would say,” he expressed.</p><p>He went on sharing how pride can also get in the way sometimes.</p><p>“I think those are some of the moments that parang iniisip namin, paano kaya kami mag-uusap dito? Kasi, everyday kami nagkikita, eh, mataas pa yung pride namin. So, those are the moments na iniisip ko, how will we survive this? Kasi, nasa isang bahay kami,” he added.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDrtpSpy-Xt/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A747103.5%2C%22ls%22%3A235591.30000001192%2C%22le%22%3A235977.90000000596%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="588" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Donny also explained how they make an effort to patch things up, especially when a disagreement drags on for a long time.</p><p>“May parang lumagpas na panahon na parang four days, five days kami di nag-uusap ng brother ko. Tapos, yun yung parang sabi ko, paano natin gagawin ‘to? But I think it also boils down to like, putting your pride aside and making sure that at the end of the day, it should be worth it kung ano yung nangyayari. So, I think that&#x27;s one of the instances that came up in my mind,” Donny shared.</p><p>In <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/roja"><em><strong>Roja</strong></em></a>, Donny plays Liam who gets into a feud with Olsen, a character he once considered like a brother.
