Benjie Paras has a good piece of love advice for son Kobe

“If you want to fall in love, okay lang. If it doesn’t work out, maging matibay ka lang.”

That’s Benjie Paras’ love advice for his son Kobe.

Last Christmas, the younger Paras announced he was in a relationship with Filipino-American singer Gabrielle Current.

Benjie says he approves of her. “Nakilala ko na yun, dati pa. Mabait naman yung bata sa nakikita ko,” he told PEP.ph

But while he’s a-okay with Current, Benjie coupled his love advice with a levelheaded reminder. “Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Alam mo yung rason bakit nandiyan ka — to have a good degree and to play basketball and to improve well, and be ready for college.’”

Kobe plays for the UCLA Bruins, as guard.
