Kuya Kim proudly talks about his kids’ achievements: ‘Fulfilled ako kasi parang ako na rin ‘yon’

Kuya Kim Atienza is one proud dad to his three children, Jose, Eliana, and Emmanuelle.

On Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the “TiktoClock” host talked about his kids’ recent milestones, starting with Jose completing his college degree.

"Ang inaanak mo, nag-graduate sa Tufts University sa Boston two weeks ago,” he told Tito Boy. “Nanggaling kami sa America.”

According to Kuya Kim, he's always dreamed of studying abroad, but "hindi ko kinaya eh."

"Hindi ko naabot pero dahil naabot ng mga anak ko ‘yan. Unang-una si Jose, si Eliana sophomore na ngayon, at ‘yung pangatlo naman ay papasok na rin sa America. Fulfilled ako kasi parang ako na rin ‘yon,” Kuya Kim said.

Jose took up economics and studied to become a pilot, so the guy can fly. Last year, he even flew his father and sister from Manila to La Union. How cool is that?

He takes after his father, being into running — he just ran his first 32 kilometers last month — and scooters. Last year, the two went on a long scooter ride to Cavite  

“Si Eliana naman, ‘yung pangalawa ko, iba, [matapang]. Alam niyo naman na nabalita kami,” Kuya Kim continued.

Eliana was recently in the news pages, after getting kicked out of her dorm for joining an anti-Israel protest. 

Says Kuya Kim of his daughter, “May sarili siyang utak. Napakatapang niya at hinahangaan ko siya kahit na kontrobersyal dahil hati ang tao diyan pero may paninindigan at ayan ay proud ako sa kaniya.” 

“Si Emma naman ay napaka-creative! Ay nako, puwede sa Sparkle," he said of his youngest.

Jose, Eliana, and Emmanuelle are his children with his wife, Felicia.

The Atienza family members are big animal lovers. In fact, they have over 30 dogs, koi fish, birds, iguanas, and tortoises.
