ANG ganda ng aura ni Derek Ramsay ngayong tapos na ang court battle nila ng dating asawang si Mary Christine Joy sa kustodiya at suporta sa anak nilang si Austin, labing-isang taong gulang.
“It really affects, health-wise, the aura, and all the stress is out the doors that’s why I’m very, very happy,” kuwento ni Derek. “It’s always every year that something big happens that test me before the year ends, at ‘pag nage-end ang year, it always end a happy note, so okay na ako sa gano’n.”
Sa kapapatayong bahay ng pamilya sa Palawan niya pinaplanong mag-stay sa Pasko at sa Bagong Taon naman ay may countdown ang TV5 at kasama lahat ang artista nila.
Hindi nga lang niya makakasama ang anak niya sa Pasko.
“Yes, he has to go back (to Dubai) to apply for school and all of that, so uunahin nila ‘yun, but he’s gonna spend. hopefully, so fingers cross on my birthday (bukas, Dec. 7). Siguro kaming dalawa lang to spend the whole day together, kung ano’ng gusto niyang gawin,”
Napagkasunduan nila ng dating asawa na hindi sila magbibilangan kung ilang araw niya puwedeng makasama si Austin.
“We are supposed to see (each other) and watch me play (frisbee), but there are some complications, so babawi this weekend, and tomorrow (last Tuesday), I’m gonna bring him with me in my work, hopefully makasama ko siya sa presscon (ng English Only Please) tomorrow, sana.
“I brought him na to TV5 no’ng nag-ano (voice over) ako, ipinakita ko sa kanya kung ano’ng ginagawa ko, voice over, tuwang-tuwa naman siya. Makulit siya, nakilala na nga siya (ng mga katrabaho at bosses niya).
“He’s a very smart kid, he calls me dad, but there’s still a long way for me to go, a lot of time to catch up in the short time that we spend together, ang laki ng steps na nagagawa namin, but there’s still something that to go to step back, but make sure you go three steps mores.”
Okay na ba sila ng ex-wife niya?
“Civil, for Austin’s sake. A lot of mean words, the allegations thrown on my way, but like I said, truth will prevail, I don’t need to defend myself, so I look what is best for my son and everything will be settled.”
Wala bang problema sa nanay ng bagets na ini-expose ni Derek ang anak sa showbiz o nakikita na siya ng publiko?
“I don’t know what’s her comments on that, but that’s my time, he needs to know who I am, it’s a big thing to know who I am. So it’s not that I’m getting him exposed, just wanted him to see what I’m doing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, if so naman, I’m sure she would given me a phone call and told me what she feels about it, but wala naman, sana wala,” paliwanag ng The Amazing Race Season 2 game master.
Ano ang nadiskubre niya bilang isang ama ni Austin?
“I think, I’ve been ready to be a father for so long, there will always tsismis that I have kids, ‘coz I always have my nephews and my nieces. So, I’ve been ready for the longest time to be a father. I just want to be like how my father is to me; it’s more like of their best friends, rather than father and son relationship, I don’t want my son to be scared of me, I want him if he has a problem, he’s going to run to me, that’s how we are now, buddy-buddy,” pahayag ng aktor.
