Smokey, nagkwento sa matinding challenge sa anak!

Manila, Philippines – Never too late to be a dad.

Singkuwenta anyos na noong maging ganap na ama si Smokey Manaloto.

Sa kanyang guesting sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Smokey tackled his three-year-old son Kiko’s autism.

Aniya: “He’s in the spectrum, and it’s tough. For a parent who has a kid who’s under the spectrum, small things mean a lot!”

Halimbawa nito’y ang kakayahang idaan sa sign language ang buong alphabet, big deal na daw ‘yon sa mga magulang.

Despite Kiko’s condition, biyaya daw na maituturing ito lalo’t pogi ang nag-iisang anak.

Ke maliit na bagay pa daw ang kayang gawin nito’y napakalaki na para sa kanilang mag-partner.

Smokey describes having been blessed with Kiko as a “welcome accident” at his age.

Na-realiza niya na hindi niya kailangang itago ‘yon, bagkus patunayang there’s a glimmer of hope sa tulad niyang over 50 na noong maging tatay.

Sa ngayon, masaya daw si Smokey with his partner and their only child. Ronnie Carrasco III
