After being a father at a young age, Bugoy Cariño recently opened up about the challenges–he went through.
In a candid interview on April 28, he shared his experiences of adjusting to his role as a father and dealing with the loss of sponsorships and brand deals.
Bugoy shared, “Mahirap mag-adjust talaga, especially nung nagka-baby ako, madaming nawala sakin, isa na dyan yung hashtag, sponsor, mga brands. Siguro ngayon masasabi ko na dapat maging independent ako sa sitwasyon ko ngayon.”
He also mentioned that being a hands-on father was [initially] tough, but now he feels his child has matured and can manage now.
Bugoy also spoke about his future plans with his partner, EJ Laure, who is a professional volleyball player. “Gusto po namin magka-bahay talaga, gusto po namin may goal muna, magpakasal muna bago sundan,” he said.
One of the most striking statements Bugoy made during the interview was about how he dealt with the news of his fatherhood. He said, “Nung una mahirap po talaga, kahit super close friends ko wala po talaga akong pinagsabihan, ang may alam lang family ko at family ng partner ko.”
“Ngayon, sobrang thankful wala akong kahit isang pagsisisi sa buhay ko,” Bugoy added.
Bugoy Carino also acknowledges that his success as an influencer on Facebook was a gift from God. While he doesn’t consider himself entirely- successful yet, he believes that being an influencer has allowed him to explore himself and involve his family in his journey.
