Siyempre &#x27;pag may kailangan kong sabihan yan or I&#x27;m trying to guide them to do a certain thing or in school or what. Medyo strict ako sa kanila pagdating dun sa habits and sa school, pero parang barkada ko rin sila. I bring them to their basketball games and kung saan man,&quot; he shared.When asked if he brings his kids to his tapings, he relayed: &quot;They always go to my tapings pag weekends or &#x27;pag sa lock in [taping ako] and weekend, I make sure na pinupuntahan nila ako sa set so parang naging playground din &#x27;yung set sa kanila. Actually sa [Shake, Rattle &amp; Roll], nakabisita yata sila isang beses.&quot;He likewise brought his children with him during his Incognito shoot in Baguio, allowing them to see how productions work behind the scenes. &quot;Sinama ko na sila sa halos lahat ng mga ginawa ko, especially nung Incognito sinama ko sila sa Baguio a few times so nakikita nila how films are done, how TV shows are done, how action scenes are done,&quot; he said.<div><iframe width="966" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gtn644sS8X4" title="Richard Gutierrez Unfiltered: Fame, Family &amp; Life Beyond the Action Star | The B Side Full Interview" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>When asked if any of his children have shown interest in entering show business, Richard noted that his 12-year-old son Zion has recently shown signs of curiosity.&quot;Parang si Zion nagsho-show ng interest recently. Well, he is not telling me directly. And then Zion has been watching a lot of movies recently which is good, di ba? Hindi siya nagi-iPad all the time. I keep telling them to watch movies so ngayon si Zion is watching a lot of films, which is good, good for him. And he is also into singing.&quot;The actor added that he is mentally preparing himself for the possibility of Zion entering showbiz in the future but emphasized the importance of education. &quot;So medyo nire-ready ko na rin sarili ko sa ganun &#x27;pag gusto niya [mag-showbiz] pero gusto ko sana tapusin niya muna &#x27;yung school niya bago siya mag-showbiz,&quot; he said.As for his hopes for his children, Richard shared a simple yet meaningful wish. &quot;I just want them to be good people and hopefully successful in what they do,&quot; he remarked.
