Robin Padilla says his "ermats," Eva Cariño, is on cloud nine because BB Gandanghari is now on good terms with the Padilla family. He told the press people: "Nababalot talaga [siya] ng kasiyahan, kahit anong oras mo siya tawagan, tawa nang tawa."

 

On the other hand, he's the one who's quite distressed of late because his eldest with Liezl Sicangco, Queenie (inset, top), is now being courted avidly by PJ Valerio (inset, bottom).

And what exactly are his rules?

Robin related, "Yung sa bahay [liligawan]. Ayoko na kung saan-saan kayo magkikita, mababalitaan ko, nakita kayo sa loob ng kotse."

And to underscore his preference, he said "ayoko nun" three times, then added: "Talagang palagay ko, maha-high blood ako nun."

And what exactly is his description of a good boy?

"Dapat respetuhin nung lalaki yung, unang-una, yung kultura natin. Hindi tayo Amerikano, hindi tayo Australyano, may sarili tayong kultura," described Queenie's dad.

In fairness to the "manliligaw or boyfriend" of his daughter, Binoe said that PJ seems to take his rules seriously.

"Talagang pumupunta sa bahay yun. Isang puntos yun para masabi nating okay. Basta ipagpatuloy lang n'ya yung ganung klase na pagka-Pilipino. Ako, ano ako dun, e... Hanga ako dun, e. Ayoko yung tatawagan niya yung anak ko, magkikita sila sa labas, ay 'wag. 'Wag niya gagawin yun, medyo ano ako dun, mapipikon ako doon," he said.

As much as possible, he doesn't want to meddle in his daughter's lovelife. But he would step in the minute he sees that something is wrong.

Robin's fair warning: "Hindi ako puwedeng tumahimik. Hindi puwede... Kakausapin ko yung lalaki kung hindi na ako ayon sa ginagawa nung lalaki, e. Dun ko na siguro papangatawan yung pagiging tatay. Hindi ko naman siya sasaktan, hindi ko naman siya... Kakausapin ko lang siya, 'Hindi ganyan ang gusto ko...' Kasi karapatan ko naman yun bilang magulang. Sumunod sila."

DADDY'S DESPAIR. Early this year, he announced that he's already giving Queenie the go-signal to entertain suitors. But he realizes now that his statement was a bit hasty.

He expressed with a tinge of metaphor, "Siyempre, para sa akin, maaga pa para sa pag-ibig na ganyan. Hindi pa, marami pang mga pangarap na sabay-sabay kaming mangarap, sabay-sabay kaming tumawid sa karagatan na 'yan. Hindi ko akalain nung nasa gitna, e, 'Erpat, balik na muna kami doon, ganun.'

"Bilang lalaki, bilang ama, sa usaping pagkababae nila, siyempre, hindi ko maintindihan yun, e. Kasi 'yang mga batang 'yan, lumaki sa akin 'yan. Ibig sabihin, e, magmula talaga, sila'y nagkaisip, hangga't sila'y nagdalaga, lahat ng ginagawa ko ay ginagawa nila."

Just like their dad, Queenie and younger sister, Kylie, are well-trained in martial arts and self-defense.

Resuming his statement, "Ngayon siyempre, biglang natuklasan nilang babae pala sila. Iba na. Pero okay lang ako, ha, walang mabait na ano [manliligaw]. Talagang ganun ang realidad, hindi sila mga lalaki, sila'y mga babae."

Is he having a hard time accepting the fact that Queenie may soon fall in love and, eventually, leave his side?
