Actor and Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez said he has no problems allowing his daughter Juliana to be the prom date of Aga Muhlach’s son Andres, explaining that the latter was raised well by his parents.
Entertainment news websites reported that Andres asked Juliana to be his date at his prom which took place at The Bellevue Manila in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
In an exclusive phone interview with PEP.ph, Richard said it was Aga who first asked him if his son can take his daughter to prom as his date.
He added that it was not hard for him to agree with Aga’s request since he knows their family.
Richard also said that even though Andres and Juliana are not close, he is still confident that his daughter is in good hands since he has known Aga for a very long time.
The actor-turned-politician narrated that his daughter even said she had fun at the event with Andres.
“Nagkuwento nang konti. Masaya. Sabi niya okay naman daw. Masaya naman daw. Mabait naman daw si Andres, kasi, siyempre, mabait naman ang tatay nun,” he said.
After the event, photos and videos of Andres and Juliana spread on social media and many netizens couldn’t help but point out that they look good together.
When asked about what he thinks of the netizens’ positive reactions, he only said that he’s happy that the two of them are good friends.
Richard also said that after the school event, Andres and Juliana had a post-prom celebration with some friends.
Even though his daughter was out with some friends late at night, he said he did not worry about her because he knows Andres will take care of her.
“Hindi naman. Maganda naman ang pagpapalaki ni Aga sa anak niya, so no worries,” he said.
Richard ended his story by saying that Aga and Andres thanked him for allowing Juliana to go to prom.
