The 19-year old admits his mom Aiko taught him about safe sex.
“Wildflower” actress Aiko Melendez attended the recently concluded 2017 Star Magic ball with her son, Andre Yllana as her date. On his recent interview with PUSH.com during the Kapamilya annual ball, the 19-year old shared how proud he was to be a mama’s boy.
“Eh, ano naman po. Di bale ng mama’s boy, di ba? At least, alam ng tao na close kami,” Andre reacted to those who called him a mama’s boy.
Andre admits being close with her mother and even taught him about safe sex.
“Ano lang naman, tinuturuan niya lang akong mag-ingat ng… kumbaga po do’n sa safe sex… ganun.
“Kasi po, let’s face it, tumatanda na po ako. 19 na po ako, binata na po ako. Yung dating po kasi ng pagturo sa akin ni mommy ng mga ganung bagay po, ano po kasi, hindi po kami nagkikita ni daddy, so kumbaga po, pinipilit po ni mommy na kahit wala po si daddy, maging parang father figure rin siya sa akin.
“Kaya po yung mga ganitong bagay open po talaga kami sa isa’t isa. Wala po kasi talaga akong tinatago kay mommy. Lahat po alam ni mommy,” he explained.
About his showbiz career, he is now happy and don’t want to pressure himself too much. He also shared his downside as showbiz newcomer.
“Kung ano lang po yung ibibigay ng Diyos sa akin. Thankful naman po ako kung ano man yon. Kung meron po, masaya po, kung wala, siguro hindi po para sa akin talaga yon,” he said.
“Alam mo, actually po, yan yung ano, eh, yan po yung isa sa mga downside ko sa pagiging artista. Kumbaga, yan yung weakness ko po kasi ang laki ng expectations sa akin both sides po.
“So, alam n’yo po yon, ayaw n’yo man pong maging negative, pero talaga pong dumadaloy sa utak ko na, ‘paano yan kapag ganito, ganyan… paano kapag hindi ko na-meet yung expectations ng mga tao, paano kung i-bash ako, ganyan?’
“Pero paulit-ulit pong sinasabi sa akin ni mommy na whatever people say about you, as long as you’re doing what you want, hayaan mo sila,” he said.
“Siguro po, hindi man po matapatan yung galing nina daddy at mommy, kumbaga po, I will just do my best. Kung ano po yung kaya kong ibigay, hanggagn don lang talaga. Ayoko naman pong pilitin na magmumukha na akong trying hard,” he answered when asked if wants to follow the footsteps of his parents’ acting career.
