Filipino male celebrities with families are often looked up on by their fans, particularly if they make it a point to spend and bond with their children. This Father’s Day, it’s the chance of the families of these male stars to honor the pillars of their homes. Some of these well-loved male celebrities include Michael “Bitoy” V., Dingdong Dantes, Drew Arellano, Ogie Alcasid and Ryan Agoncillo.
Michael V. shared via Instagram a photo of him and his family today, June 17. The comedian’s family gifted him with two Nintendo Labo DIY kits — a Toy-Con RC-Car and a Toy-Con Robot. He wrote: “PinakamaLABOng Father’s Day gift na natanggap ko sa buong buhay ko! Thanks kids! (And especially where they came from!) #HappyFathersDay” (The vaguest [a humorous word play for Nintendo Labo; Tagalog word labo means vague] Father’s Day gift that I have received in my entire life!)
