There’s almost a 10- year gap. So sometimes we even take him to work with us so he can see what we do. You became a doctor, I think. If this wasn’t what I do, my profession would be in the medical field. Yes, we’d be together because sometimes there’s no babysitter. Maybe we’d take turns with his father. He’ll do the day shift and I’ll do the night shift.
How hard was it when you started your career full-time? I was just entering my teenage years, right? After the Voice Kids. So I was 13 at the time. I wasn’t used to it. I wasn’t home in Canada for that long or in general, far from my family. So there are times. Of course, I get homesick, but you’re alone in the Philippines when Daddy and I aren’t together. Oh, I’m with you.
They are their siblings, relatives, relatives, so that they always have company as much as I can. I would try to go back and forth to Canada, especially when I have a concert in Canada. I will extend my stay with us. How is that, Mom? Please accept that he will no longer be here. His life is what he wants.
He said that his job is here. We are like that when he went to church. I mean, the boys are 21. What? I still don’t agree that he will go out alone. He told his father, Dad, I can manage now. He’s 21. Miss. So, he said, that’s why the boys are 21. I said, “You shouldn’t be watching him anymore. That’s his age.” I don’t go out much anymore.
He has other friends. He’s still watching me. Just to make sure we’re okay. Maybe he thinks, “They’re too bossy or something.” But he knows what he’s doing. Everyone needs to know who he’s with. The first thing I’ll ask you is, until now, how old are you? 22, 23, etc. 24 and you won’t be bullied Of course there are times when I also struggle with being independent sometimes on the list that’s what my parents want but It’s a part of you know growing up and trying to understand where each other is coming from So now
my parents and I are at a better place where we meet in the middle also from my perspective because of course we’re probably all going through a bit of a rebellious stage so being in n you’ve been there it’s not Super rebellious But when it seems like he’s not anymore goodbye goodbye or I’ll just do it even though my parents don’t know about things like that when you first started earning money did you help your parents they never asked me for any financial support because for a year they’re still until now They’re still both
working and the first TF I got was for a guesting after the voice kid so for 5,000 only or 3,000 after the voice kids he was just a guesting so I just let my family know just a little lunch After the guesting It wasn’t really a celebration It was just like that Just bonding Yes just saying that I’m really a family guy I’m closer to them When I was a kid Of course but then Growing Up Of course I’ve been here the majority of the time I kind of didn’t have that Bond with them that when I would come back to Canada it’s still like that
nothing has changed But when I’m here sometimes I forget to say hello or call them Don’t you feel bad about that first time it was like oh no they left because I like me even the one who prepares her water like that p I didn’t check sometimes when they washed me they would wash mommmy I know you’re going through something right now with your health How does that make you feel My parents are the same My brother and I don’t know the reason why Mommy goes back and forth to St Lukes like that in the hospital so I’ll ask
her brothers what’s happening like that Are you worried? Of course, there are worries because Mommy sometimes likes to overthink and I keep telling her that it seems like stress in the heart is one of the biggest factors that needs to be avoided. Mommy, what is your condition now? He is under medication.
Okay, his pulse rate is controlled. It’s just that his fists are getting faster. Okay, as a mother, what are you most worried about? Daren, I think his financial state is good. I can see that he is doing well. He was able to save money without a loan when he was a child. He bought a car without a loan. So I can see that now.
It seems okay. Okay. If that’s the side, but of course, we parents still have concerns. Do you know if he has eaten? Are the groups he joined right? What was the best lesson your mom or your parents told you? Humility. My parents really get on my nerves when they see him. He’s a little bit of a lesson that they’ve taught me is to stay h Yes it seems like always look back Where you came from because it’s fast If you get it sometimes everything you want and They tell me that If you lose that humility you have It’s so easy to get it taken back from
you The easy way to get it back so humility is really easy then That’s the root of you know your attitude towards your co-workers at work your Outlook on life everything is really like if you’re just humble enough to accept things then itl be easier for you have you fallen in love Yes next serious long relationship What is it like I went through Poy love like that and then Later on As I got older more recently the serious ones and you tell Mommy they don’t know they just guess but it feels sometimes I’ll go with mommy
I know I’ll buy a gift wait but Did you ever meet a girlfriend anybody Yes he brings her home not introduce not introduce but I know Yes because We were together when the parents OP and now the your heart is okay, he’s not looking for anything, he’s not looking for anything, how is your heart, happy, yeah, content with everything, yeah, but you’re still courting someone at the moment, not right now, nothing, yeah, one day, Mommy, do you want to get married, have children, have a family? Yes, we also want to
answer, yes, we want to see you, where exactly are they, you know, those things, maybe those are the Little Things, huh? Are you strict, you should be the one to choose a partner in life, that’s not the part. I actually support you there. What are you looking for? It’s simple, as long as I can get along, respectful to my family, my parents, especially to me.
It’s more of the connection and also their overall attitude. I guess yeah, but have you found your true love? You wouldn’t think so when you’re in a relationship, because of course, when you’re in a relationship, you already plan ahead, you start to plan ahead with that person. Yeah, nothing, but you, yeah, how are you and me now, and are friends now, it’s just my time, really.
we didn’t talk for about 6 years during the pandemic That’s when everyone was talking to each other reconnecting That’s when k kind of reconnected But how would you describe what you had with K it was real naman eh parang kahit ng sabihin ng Puppy Love may love pa rin na nandong there was caren all of that it just didn’t work out in the end big factor din Iyung kaingin babata like the the stuff we fought over very petty fights mga ganun lang naman eh Okay another one Jaya was linked to you Yes Why What how did that happen
Well of course a big Factor for that one was music like we’re both very passionate about music and creating music I was very amazed at how she would write her own songs the way she sings all of that and then we were together on ASAP we were in a segment together at one point so That’s how we got closer with one another That’s how we got to know each other more would you say that you were in love there Yes all of us have a romantic aspect to us and j also before Why Yeah ayun So what about Cassie, until now we’re still very good friends
like we’ve always been close friends and people have doubted what we say in interviews, even if you say you’re just close or you’re just best friends. There’s something to that but it’s really just up to that we just there for one another we care about each other when we call each other or when we see each other the connection is always there when you hear the aforementioned women being linked to Darren.
What are you saying, Darren, are you just observing? Miss Karen, far from it, because I know it does n’t seem like anything serious, so we were just there to support each other. Come Close. I love you with all my heart. I don’t C if it is no thanks. Zen wow. You’re welcome to our Kapamilya or our Oregon family. Oregon.

mentor to me now means so much and then to even be slightly compared to him parang it’s too much sometimes na Parang ang dami ko pang kailad gawin sa buhay OP dami ko pang kakaining rice bako ko maratin yung Gary status so this concert you just it sounds so massive Yes, I’m also under pressure It’s something different from my past concert since This is a 10th anniversary celebration It’s A Journey Through My Career for the past 10 years in terms of music and my personal life What made it even bigger was the people I’m celebrating it with
which are my guests including Tito Gary and my coach from the voice Ate Sara Geronimo Kuya Eric Santos Tito Ogie Alcasid they’re also there and then of course Ate Vice Ganda so I feel so loved by the support that theyve given me Mommy what is your message to Daren you must be so proud po I’m really proud, he doesn’t know that because I don’t say it Miss Karen This is what I want to say now, that’s my way of keeping him grounded I don’t like all the praise I watch him all the time even if it’s just on YouTube I don’t
praise him Hey, that’s not what he knows I’m not a PR I sometimes tell my parents it was beautiful when I did my performance today I didn’t hear anything he found it I mean Yes Because it’s like the validation you find validation from your parents but we always do Miss Kar but What message do you have for him today is my birthday you’ve reached Ong 10th year on the showb that happened because what are you listening to your parents Daddy myself and Linel are so proud you don’t even know that we don’t even mention it
but in truth we are very proud even though we are not very vocal because but we are very proud We know what you’re doing and We know how you’re struggling with everything Just think about everything you’re going through I’m there praying Daren Daren is all for me I’m the one who always prays for you You know if Why is it that the world you live in is chaotic? So you need a lot of prayers and you know the [ will be added to it.
Just be calm no matter what storm you go through. God never sleeps. We wonder. Why are you blessed? Maybe you weren’t the one blessed on The Voice, but the Lord SAO has other plans. And yeah, you’re still blessed because you know the reason why. When you’re good, that’s why you always stay humble and kind. Let those who know the trials go.
My question is, why are you here? Because work is really sometimes. Sometimes I’ll leave. Yes, I’ll leave the house before they wake up and then I’ll come. They’ll be asleep. Sometimes it just makes me cry. Of course, as a son, you’re just looking forward to that kind of validation. Again, or what? What does verbal validation need? But what am I? I’m not the one I’m hugging.
I can’t love you like that. Not really. Yes, it’s like, what message? I’m just not of course to my Mom and my Dad. It’s like, that’s all they’ve been through for me. I just want to let them know then that. I’ve never not appreciated anything they’ve done it’s just that sometimes I’m just not enough to say that when I appreciate them or when I show them noun like nothing they do will ever make me hate them they are still my first run you know that but then Sometimes I feel like they are not my first run maybe It also brings with it
