Gary Valenciano talked about this role in the lives of his “inaanak”
Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano said that the role of being a “ninong” should not be disregarded as his godchildren should feel that he will be there for them when they need him.
It is quite a common scenario that people would get popular and powerful personalities as “ninong” or “ninang.” For some, it is just part of the custom or tradition and not a big deal at all. However, for Gary, this is something that he really takes seriously.
During the birthday celebration of Mr. Pure Energy on Magandang Buhay, he was surprised when his godchildren Karyll and Yael Yuzon joined the conversation that he was having with hosts Regine Velasquez, Melai Cantiveros, and Jolina Magdangal.
The couple was asked how Gary is said as a “ninong.” Yael said that the OPM icon is fun to be with and he was able to get some dancing tips from his godfather. Until now, the Spongcola vocalist remembers what Gary said to him when they did a dance performance in a video that was shown during his and Karyll’s wedding.
Gary Valenciano shared that he wasn’t able to talk to the couple for quite some time and he would only get updates about them through his son Paolo Valenciano who is Yael Yuzon’s best friend. “But I think, they both know na, kahit kailan, kahit anong oras ng araw, kahit gabi, kahit madaling araw, kung kailangan nila ako, I’m going to be there for them,” the singer-songwriter said.
Regine said that Gary was asked to be the “ninong” because he would be the second parent to his godchildren. Then, Mr. Pure Energy said that there were a lot of people who approached him to be a “ninong” but he would stress to them that we want to portray the role as its best.
Gary Valenciano would tell those people that it is not easy to be a “ninong” because he had to be there all the time. He would also ask those people if they are really sure that they want him to be there. “Pag nalaman na talaga nila ang sistema and they still say ‘yes we want you there,’ then I know just in case talaga na kailangan nila ako, I’m going to make sure na nandoon ako,” he said.
