ON SHOWBIZ AND LOVE. Inah used to be part of the defunct teen magazine show, Candies, alongside Allyna Asistio, Andi Manzano, and Wynwyn Marquez. Rhian Ramos eventually took Marquez's place. The show lasted from November 12, 2005 to June 17, 2006 and was aired by QTV 11.

"I don't know why it [Candies] stopped, pero I'm glad kasi while I was doing the show, I was also juggling my studies and my grades weren't good. So it's good na rin na I'm not working."

Inah added, "My mom, to be honest, ayaw niya talaga ako mag-showbiz kasi magulo and not everything is private."

Janice used to have a similar stance on her daughter's lovelife. Inah's boyfriend was present at her debut party last Saturday.

"When I first told my mom, she was shocked pero she said just take it slow. Okay naman na sa kanya."

John, on the other hand, went "mad," according to Inah. "My dad is very protective but he controls it naman."

Pressed for comment on his daughter's revelation, John said, "I'll be plastic if I say that I'm not hurt. How you wish lahat ng anak mo maging pari 'tsaka madre. But when you're there already and you see your daughters and sons falling in love... Alam mo, 10 years old pa lang 'to si Ina, sinasabi ko na I'll be a harsh father, meaning I'll be strict. But nung naging 15, 16, 17 at wala naman siyang tinatago sa akin, I came to realize that I just really have to understand my children."
