Drew Arellano spoke candidly about his life as a father of five during a recent interview with Bernadette Sembrano.

The television host stated that having five children was something he and his wife, Iya Villania, did not expected.

“Five children, you know what it’s funny that we never really expected that we would have five kids,” he admitted. “We love kids, don’t get me wrong. But the last two, hindi planado yan. Kaya nagpa-snip-snip (vasectomy) na tayo di ba? Pero what a blessing. What a blessing. Super. Lalo na nakikita namin growing up, and how when they wake up meron na silang kalaro,” he said.

Drew described each of his children as follows: “Each kid will have a different personality. Primo the eldest, 9 years old, ano yan he is so into dancing now. G-Force. He is the overthinker but he is such a follower.”

When asked if he has any concerns about raising children in today’s challenging world, Drew responded he remained optimistic.

Drew also stated that they ensure that their children are physically active and exposed to a variety of sports and outdoor activities.

Despite his busy schedule as a TV host for travel and lifestyle programs, Drew emphasizes the importance of prioritizing family. He shared how he manages to balance work commitments with quality time at home.

Drew’s wife, Iya Villania-Arellano, also plays a pivotal role in maintaining a harmonious family life. Together, they strive to nurture a loving and supportive environment for their children.

As their children grow, Drew looks forward to new milestones and adventures with his family. He expressed excitement about guiding them through life’s challenges and celebrations.

“Watching them grow into kind, curious, and confident individuals is the greatest joy. I’m grateful for this journey every single day.”

Fans and followers have expressed admiration for Drew’s honest and inspiring words, applauding his dedication to family amidst a thriving career.
