John Arcilla on starting a family at 56: ‘Kayang-kaya pa talaga’

Award-winning actor John Arcilla revealed his dreams of still building a family despite his age.

The 56-year-old related that he wants to have a family of his own. 

“Kayang-kaya pa naman. Kayang-kaya pa talaga,” John was quoted as saying in a YouTube interview with comedian and talent manager Ogie Diaz.  

Although he admitted to having second thoughts about it, due to several factors, John is willing to give it a go. 

“Sa dami ng responsibilidad mo ngayon, parang natatakot ka na.

“Tsaka sa age bracket ko, parang nagdadalawang-isip na rin ako, although gusto ko pa rin. Walang problema. Hindi naman ako baog eh,” said John.

The multi-awarded star also recalled the time when he almost started family with his past two relationships. 

“Hindi ako pinalad na [magka-baby] pero almost nandoon na. Nagkaroon sila ng desisyon na hindi ko kayang kontrolin.

Tapos, meron pang isa ulit na non-showbiz. Siguro may ibang plano sa akin ang Diyos,” said John. 

The actor, meanwhile, had this to say about the status of his heart: “Masaya ako [dahil] ang daming mga blessings, ang daming accolades, ang daming recognitions. Maraming challenges pero alam ko na siyang i-hurdle,” 

At the moment, John said he is focused on the welfare of his nieces and grandchildren.
