He’s my constant source of inspiration and he makes me so happy. I’ve never experienced happiness at this level. Akala ko, hindi posible. Akala ko, na-experience ko noon, kasiyahan dati, but… wow!”
Tom Rodriguez’s Commitment as a Father
Tom also emphasized his pride and honesty about his child. “I wouldn’t want that for me as well. So I wouldn’t want him growing up na yun din ang mararamdaman niya. I’m very proud, I’m very happy. I learned now, biggest learnings from the past few years of my life, that you really have to ano… I love to work, I’m very thankful for it, and I love the industry. Pero you do need now the reason. Para sa kanya din yun,” he explained.
He concluded with a thoughtful message about balancing his professional and personal life: “It’s something I wanna pass down to him. I wanna teach him to have proper boundaries between your main life and your professional life.” This reveals how fatherhood has reshaped his priorities and motivations.
