Jean Garcia and Angelu de Leon favor meddling with their children’s lives, saying it is their way of “guiding” and “opening” their kids’ minds to what’s right and wrong.
In a recent interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the two actresses revealed that they always “interfere” with their children’s lives and explained that they offer advice because they want them to live a better life.
“Kanina nga nag-uusap kaming dalawa, papano ba tayo nangingielam? Araw-araw. For life kaming mangingielam, I guess,” laughingly said Garcia, to which de Leon agreed.
“Syempre ang magulang naman wala namang gusto sa kanilang mga anak kung hindi magkaroon ng maayos na buhay, may takot sa Panginoon, maging mabuting mga bata. I guess hindi ako titigil kaka-sabi at kaka-advise lalo na kung nakikita kong hindi maganda,” continued Garcia.
The “Pangako sa ’Yo” actress underscored that she will butt in when she notices that there is something negative happening.

Actually alam rin ng mga anak ko, ang tawag nila sakin cool mom kasi ‘yung communication namin very open. Pero ‘yun lang kapag may negative sasabihin ko sa kanila, kapag naman positive cool lang, kumbaga sige go ahead, suporta ‘yan,” she stated.

“May dalawang pangingielam, I think ‘yung pangingielam na walang communication ‘yung negative way which is I don’t think naman ganon kami, well, I hope my children would agree na ‘yung pangingielam naman is only to open their minds of the possibilities of what they are doing right or wrong pero to the point at the end of the day I’m sure pareho kami ni Ms. Jean sa kanila pa rin ang desisyon,” she declared.
Garcia went on to add that their children need “guidance,” no matter how old they are.
“Pero hindi pwedeng manahimik kami sa kahit anong bagay… Guidance talaga, kailangan mo silang i-guide kahit 30 plus na,” she said. “Like tayo dati diba mga bata tayo hanggang sa nanganak tayo nung meron na tayong mga anak sabi natin, ‘Ay lahat ng sinabi ng magulang ko tama. Tayo pala ang mali. Sila ang tama.’”
Garcia has two children, actress Jennica and Kotaro, while de Leon has three kids: Nicole, Louise and Rafa.
Garcia and de Leon are both playing the kontrabida (antagonist) in GMA Network’s “Widows’ War” and “Pulang Araw,” respectively.
