UMAASA si Derek Ramsay na makakasama uli niya sa darating na Pasko ang kanyang 12 years old na anak na si Austin na nakatira sa ibang bansa. Last year, nakasama niya ito at nakita niyang napakasaya ng bagets.
“You know how close I am with the family, right? My family is the most important thing; he’s part of the family,” bungad ni Derek nang mainterbyu namin sa presscon ng The Escort.
Sana raw ay hindi masamain ng ina ng anak niya ang pahayag niyang ito dahil concerned lang naman siya sa kinabukasan ng anak nila.
“You know what? Whatever I can say, she can perceive it another way and she might think I’m attacking her. So, for my son’s sake, I leave that alone. Ako na lang naglulunok ng mga bagay na mahirap lunukin and I stand strong na lang for my son, because I believe he wants to be with me and one day he will come out and he’ll come to me.
“Nandiyan naman ‘yung suporta ko. I’m giving him the best education, he’s financially stable,” madiing paliwanag ni Derek.
Bagamat nagkausap na raw sila noon ng ina ng bata sa korte na ayos na at anytime ay puwede niyang makita ang anak, dahil nga malayo ang bata ay hindi sila nagkikita.
“As expected, again I don’t wanna say anything because she might come back with the rampage and you know...” sambit ng aktor.
“He loves being with me,” malumanay na kuwento pa ni Derek tungkol sa anak. “He tells me he loves me, he calls me dad, we extended his stay, and when he goes back, parang we have to start from zero again. Iba na ‘yung mga sinasabi sa akin.
“It’s disappointing and it hurts, but it is what it is and I have to deal with it. So, I just want to be positive.”
