<p>“I’m a disciplinarian.” </p><div> </div><p>This is how veteran actress Mylene Dizon described her parenting style as a single mother. She made this revelation during her recent guest appearance on Bernadette Sembrano’s vlog.  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="670" height="377" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rHTAPdk_0Xo" title="MYLENE DIZON GETS REAL ON WHY SHE NEVER WANTED TO MARRY | Bernadette Sembrano" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div> </div><p>According to her, she needed to be disciplinarian because she juggles being both a mom and a dad to her two sons, Tomas and Lucas.  </p><div> </div><p>But the actress has a deeper reason for it, which she realized from the previous relationships she had.  </p><div> </div><p>“I’m a mother of boys, and I’ve dated many men,” she said. “Hindi naman ganon kadami, but I’ve dated men. But I know some men who don’t know anything about life or don’t know how to navigate their lives because they were too spoiled. I don’t want my children to end up that way.”  </p><div> </div><p>Mylene wants her sons to value the lessons that she has imparted to them and carry them as they grow older.  </p><div> </div><p>“I am disciplinarian [because] I want them na maging maayos bago ko sila pakawalan,” she explained. &quot;Pag pinakawalan ko sila, gusto ko lahat ng tinuturo ko sa kanila nandiyan pa rin, naririnig pa rin nila ako.” </p><div> </div><p>When asked if it has been effective on her sons, Mylene proudly shared a specific scenario with her son that justifies her influence on them.  </p><div> </div><p>“When I would remind them, my son [who is in Australia] would tell me ‘nagawa na, nagawa na’ I did it already. Sabi ko: ‘aba ang galing ah.’ Sabi niya: ‘eh pano naman naririnig kita? I kind of hammered that in my head, ma,’” she shared.  </p><div><br/></div><p>For Mylene, education is the only lasting thing she could give to her children. </p><div> </div><p>“Gigil ako because that’s the only thing I can give. Sige, I can give them five million. What are they going to do with that if they don’t know what to do with it [or] how to manage it? At saka ‘yun lang talaga ang kaya kong ibigay literally,” she said when asked why she is passionate about investing in education.  </p><div> </div><p>Mylene revealed in the same interview that she has no plans of bequeathing any of her properties to her family, even to her children.  </p><div> </div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/2/25/mylene-dizon-builds-another-business-in-la-union-1010" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Mylene Dizon builds another business in La Union</strong></a></div><div> </div><p>“Anong matututunan nila [children] diyan? They are just going to run this to the ground if they don’t have the proper education,” she told Bernadette.</p><div> </div><p>She admitted early in the vlog that the land where her beach houses in La Union stand is on lease and she doesn’t intend to buy it.  </p><div> </div><p>“Unang-una, matanda na ako, 50 na ako eh. Anong gagawin ko [sa property]? Hindi ko naman siya madadala,” she explained. </p><div> </div><p>“Ang policy ko naman talaga sa pamilya ko, hindi ako magpapamana sa mga anak ko. I want them to make it on their own,” she added. </p><div> </div><p>Mylene is proud that she can afford the education of her children, saying that she is contented with her life. </p><div> </div><p>“I am able to provide. I’m able to give my children the best education my money can buy. Ano pang hihingiin ko? Kahit ilang Chanel pa yan... doon ako sa education nila. Tapos bahala na sila sa buhay nila,” she said.  </p><div> </div><p>The actress is proud to be blessed with two sons, whom she described as intelligent.</p><div> </div><p>“Matatalino ang mga anak ko, mga scholar ‘yun,” she proudly said. “Hindi ako matalino ah, matalino sila. Alam nila ‘yung value ng education and alam nila na ‘yun lang ang ipapamana ko sa kanila.” </p><div> </div><p>Similar to her previous interviews, Mylene’s stance on marriage remains the same: it’s not in her vocabulary.  </p><div> </div><p>“Ayoko, I can’t be tied down. I can’t even be in the city. Malikot ako eh. I don’t like the feeling of being locked in one place,” she explained. </p><div> </div><p>In 2024, during her guest appearance in ABS-CBN&#x27;s news magazine program <em>Tao Po</em>, Mylene said that having a husband is not her priority.  </p><div> </div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/7/8/-tao-po-kilalanin-si-mylene-dizon-bilang-isang-ina-1827" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: &#x27;Tao Po&#x27; : Kilalanin si Mylene Dizon bilang isang ina</strong></a></div><div> </div><p>“I am not a person who wants a husband. Hindi siya priority sa akin katulad ng iba. I don’t want to be dependent on anybody,” she told <em>Tao Po</em>. </p>
