Growing up without a father, i have so much respect for pudra he must have been a cool dad! lucky ka parang idol Wil

[gemmagarcia]

Your are so lucky to have a very supportive and understanding dad and mom, you were never alone in times of problems and difficulties you went through they’re always behind you. They let you make your own journey in life. A very nice parent-child relationship that gives you so much self esteem 🤙😘❤️

[donnawasan]

It's very rare to find parents who both value their children's worth. Will and Haley are so lucky to have parents like them despite the fact that they're raised in a community of higher degree, Fast-phased, highly-competitive environment. Their parents are really down to earth and knows how to enjoy life humbly and leisurely... Kudos to all of you guys.

Ang husay ni Pudra magbangon ng question. 👌😮

Long comment alert... Sorry, what you guys said really hit home so hard:

Yes, Pudra, we get dictated upon! And if you don't follow, you're considered ungrateful, bastos, and they'd even tell you that you won't succeed in life because you're going against your parents' plans for you. I wish my mom's point of view was like yours. So positive, so supportive. I come from a very traditional and conservative family, obviously, where I/we always get compared with cousins, neighbors, kids of other friends. Up to this day (and im waaaay into adulthood), i am pressured as to how i am looked at based on how they define success. In short, for them, even when I've had good grades in college, wasn't pasaway, got a job, etc., they say i have not proven anything yet. I am not practicing my profession because it's not what i wanted to begin with. I just finished college because i was an obedient child. As an adult, I try to do the things I love, but for them it's just a hobby phase I'm going thru, or something that's not supposed to be taken seriously. It It's emotional blackmail. 😞

I knew Will’s channel when he was featured in TV Patrol making beki language with his dad. Your Dad really helped you blew up your channel. I think also Will change the track of Haley’s career, I remember we saw her in Will’s vlog looking very shy.

MUDRA AND PUDRA ARE BOTH GOOD LOOKING AT THEIR YOUNGER AGE AND STILL ARE

[daphnelynkryszhiacaganan]

Watching this makes me miss my father more. He's always been there for me. He always support me and in everything I do. He always believe in me 😢

[dreamsanity]

It didn't change. Still the same. Parents dictate what their children careers should be.

[MommyMakesSomething]

You gotta tell your children "you'll go far" and "i believe in you"

[NingasKugon]

I was only given 2 choices... was not bitter but always grateful because I know they have only the best intentions...miss my mom so much!

[serenitybeauty]

I totally agree. It’s so powerful when the people who mean to you tell you you’re going to make it and to believe in themselves. Words are powerful, specially words of the people who matter to you♥️🥰 Great job Mudra and Pudra! I wish I had parents like you.

[sampaguita]

mom is so funny ! mudra and pudra are the best parents .. supportive !!! filipino parents dictate; cuz they expect their children to provide. american mentality is more "go out and do what makes you happy " "not buying any shit !" exactly ...

[mpotane]

I brought up 3 daughters I had a break for 5 years from work and swapped the role with my wife and became a Mr mum, it taught me a lot, and what I learned from being a parent was never judge your children let them learn for themselves, and never tell them something you won't follow through with, always say you are grounded for two days and not a month or year because you lose credibility and never smack your child it is you getting your frustration out on the child, it's not a punishment, grounding them works way better, take a phone or tablet from a teenager today for two days and see the impact that has hahaha I only had two strict rules in their upbringing, respect your elders and manners, outside that they were allowed to do most things and I was there to catch them when they fell, my youngest is a lawyer now my middle daughter runs child minding centers and my eldest it a barrister. at one stage when I was separated I had 5 fostered teenage girls in my house all the way through to graduation. Now many years later I am married to a Filipina and live with her in the Philippnes, life is good .

I remember my very first lecture in college, our instructor asked us one by one, why did we take this career path. 60% said it's because of their parents' decision. That was the first time I realized I was lucky to have parents who let me do what I wanted to do. They were just like "Are you sure? Ok".

[violy]

Options you give as parents are still choices for them to decide. better to plan ahead than to be clueless 👍
