Drew Arellano on maintaining a healthy work-life balance: 'It started with the objective that I wanna be a good father'
Drew is a busy man but his desire to be a good father to his children allows him to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
At a press conference after his contract signing on Tuesday, Drew told reporters that everything he does in his life revolves around his objective to become a good father — an life objective he's long had before Primo and Leon came along.
"I remember back when I was 30 [or] I think it's like 10 years ago, I already knew what I wanted to do, not specifically, but I knew what I wanted to become and that's to be a great father so my life revolved around that objective," he said.
The Kapuso host said in order to become a great father to his children he had to sacrifice a few things.
"Work hours should be relegated, other stuff like wala na yung friendship time. Before when I was still single, you can still actually go on gimmicks I can leave the house at 7pm. For me that's not an option right now. I have to be home by 7pm," Drew said.
He said it all started with his objective to become a good father "so I need to adjust all other aspects in my life so that's the priority."
On the importance of having a healthy lifestyle
In line with his goal to become a great father, Drew said he makes sure he is in his one hundred percent for work and family by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
"I get tired like those people but I make sure that I eat well, I rest. I try to," Drew said.
Drew said he does it by "exercising regularly, trying to eat healthy and getting the much-needed rest that we have but yes we get tired and more importantly we need to rest in order to be a hundred percent the next day."
Drew continues his journey as a Kapuso after 14 years of working with GMA Network as he signed a contract on Tuesday, October 8. — LA, GMA News
