Perfume-maker and businessman Joel Cruz is consistent with his parenting style, not allowing his kids to use gadgets like mobile phones, tablets or iPad.
“Minsan nga, nakita ko sa isang restaurant yung isang pamilya na habang kumakain sila, may kanya-kanya silang celll phone na hawak at di sila nag-uusap. Ayaw kong mangyari sa amin yun,” Cruz said in an interview with Pep.ph.
His oldest twins from surrogacy have just celebrated their seventh birthday. “Masasabi ko na I’m proud of myself na isa akong ama na nakayanan ko palakihin sila na wala pa ring gadget even up to now na seven years old na sila,” Joel added.
The businessman said he does not allow his kids to use cellphones even if they can afford it. “Minsan nakakagamit sila pero hindi yun sa kanila, kahit 10 to 20 minutes, they use the iPad or cellphone ng yaya nila or minsan yung sa akin din na cellphone. Sinasabi ko kasi sa kanila na masisira yung mata nila when they use gadgets,” he said.
Cruz has eight kids.
