JC De Vera Spends Most Of His Time With Family Because 'Hindi Na Ako Binata'

JC de Vera has turned from a heartthrob to a proud family guy, and is taking his real-life role seriously. The actor says his perspective has changed so much since the birth of his daughter, Lana Athena, a year and a half ago.

“Mas serious ako ngayon kasi siyempre, yung responsibility ko on my shoulders, mas iba na compared dun sa before,” the 33-year-old said. 

“It’s still the same, mas nadagdagan lang talaga ng responsibility,” the father of one told Pep.ph.

To illustrate how much has changed, JC said, “Nag-quit na ako ng mga gimik, nag-quit na ako ng mga good time. 

“Mas naka-focus na ako on my responsibility on being a father and being a good husband sa asawa ko.”

Being a parent demands spending a lot of time with your child, especially from age 0 to 6, which are the formative years. A study also describes the impact a father makes in his daughter's happiness as an adult.

“Nabawasan lang yung ano, hindi na ako binata, hindi na ako, alam mo yun, puro akin.

JC understands that raising a child is a job for both mom and dad, and gladly shares parenting duties with his non-showbiz partner, Rikkah Cruz. 

“Most of the time, I spend it with my family. I cook for them, I take care of them, nilalabas ko sila, dinadala ko sila sa ibang lugar.

On his Instagram account, JC frequently shares snaps of his adventures with Rikkah and Lana, as well as things he does for them in a series he calls “Houseband 101.”

“Yung buong buhay ko ngayon, umiikot sa kanila. And lahat ng purpose ko ngayon sa buhay ay lahat dahil sa kanila.”
