Two years since he began his career in showbiz, Robbie Jaworski made it a point that he spends his earnings wisely.
In his interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), he revealed how he spent his first talent fee.
An artist under Star Magic, ABS-CBN's talent management arm, Robbie's initial projects include The Alibi (2025) and The Loyalty Game (2026).
He also made his film debut in Meet, Greet & Bye (2026).
"My first major purchase, kasi medyo matipid naman ako bilang tao," he began.
Talking about his day job outside showbiz, he explained, "To give a little background kasi, nagtatrabaho din po ako para sa daddy ko sa hotels niya.
"So he has two branches, provincial hotel siya, Bataan and Tagaytay. So I'm the managing director and business development manager.
"At dahil doon, once a week, kailangan kong bisitahin yung mga hotel niya, which means that every month, umaabot ako ng three thousand kilometers sa biyahe."
This has something to do with how he spent his first paycheck.
He continues: "So, between that and taping when I first started, pagod na pagod ako sa biyahe.
"So the first thing that I bought with my taping fee was nag-ipon ako para sa driver."
Aside from budgeting for a personal driver, Robbie also bought a car to make traveling between hotel visits and tapings easier.
"Well, after that kasi, sumabog yung makina ng kotse ko.
"So naglagay ako ng downpayment sa isang kotse tapos hanggang ngayon hinuhulugan ko pa siya."
Robbie is the son of Pasig City Vice-Mayor Robert "Dodot" Jaworski Jr. and former actress and multiawarded equestrienne Mikee Cojuangco.
ROBBIE JAWORSKI's PURPOSE FOR HELPING HIS DAD'S BUSINESS
When asked about his experience working for his father, the 26-year-old actor said he doesn't get special treatment and doesn't even charge a big amount of salary.
"I've been working for my dad—now it's 2026—I've been working with him for four years.
"The first three years I was doing audits and inspections. I was also doing some purchasing. I was receiving minimum wage.
"And then now that I'm a manager, I am at the minimum manager salary. But, of course, you know, I still find it as a blessing to be working for him, to be learning under him."

Robbie added that he's just happy to help with his dad's business.
"So hindi naman po yung sahod hinahabol ko sa negosyo ng daddy ko kasi may fulfillment din yun kapag nagtatagumpay yung negosyo.
"Mas napapakain ko yung pamilya namin... So that's a purpose for me already."
It is also his way of helping his parents, even though they do not require him to do so.
"I don't share any financial burden sa house, but I know that with my presence in the business, if I'm able to generate sales and income, pupunta din iyan sa pamilya namin. Pupunta din sa akin in terms of sa binibili niyang pagkain."
"Cause right now, I still live with my parents. I might be moving out soon, but there's fulfillment in that with me na ang purpose and mission ko working under my dad in the family business is to contribute to my dad's financials."
How does he make sure that his earnings are properly accounted for?
"I use a financial tracker. So I keep a personal book, a journal of my accounting. And then I separate my accounts. So may isang account ako kung saan yun yung medyo malaking expenses, and that's also where most of my savings are.
"Tapos I have another account na doon, doon galing yung daily, yung mga daily expenses ko."
