Of course, iteteach ko lahat ng pwede kong iteach pero hindi niya kailangan sumunod sa yapak ko kung hindi niya gusto,” he said. </p><p>Josh assured his future family that he will be devoting his attention to them and that they will have all the things they need.</p><p>“Gusto ko lang talaga ibigay full attention ko kapag nag ka family ako. Doon mag iiba ng konti yung gusto kong gawin. Gusto ko lang ng normal–– na may love, na may respeto para sa bata at magulang without having them to force it,” he maintained.  </p><p>In the same episode, he also expressed his desire to do a session with a therapist to tackle the challenges he faced in the past but admitted that time is an important factor that plays out. </p><p>“Gusto ko rin naman, kinoconsider ko rin kasi marami rin akong struggles… Parang sa dami ng kailangang gawin, may time ka pa ba sa drama? Wala na nga di ba. Sinasabi niyo naman kung masaya ba ako, sa totoo lang masaya naman ako. Pero siyempre kung ikaw nalang, parang tatamaan ka–– iiyak mo nalang. Afterwards, that’s life para sa akin ganun naman. For sure hindi lang ako yung nakakaexperience nito,” he expressed. </p>
