Daniel Matsunaga can totally relate.
The Brazilian-Japanese hunk told News5 on Thursday morning that he was well aware — thanks to his Twitter followers who had kept him updated — that Heart Evangelista’s parents, Reynaldo and Cecilia Ongpauco, had publicly voiced out their disapproval of her new boyfriend, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero.
Daniel admitted that the news was a not a big surprise to him. He had known how very protective Heart’s parents were when he was still dating the actress. He said he felt terrible for both Heart and Sen. Escudero.
“I’m sure he loves her. I feel bad that this is happening once more in Heart’s life because she doesn’t deserve this kind of things. And she’s in love and it’s her decision,” Daniel said.
He said he knew where Heart’s parents were coming from. He also knew they did not like him for their daughter, and it influenced Heart’s decision to break up with him.
“They’re very protective, I understand. They love Heart, and that’s family, and that’s their opinion. So ako I go with it,” he said.
However, Daniel believes that Heart, 28, is no longer a child and should be able to decide for herself whom to love.
“Heart is old enough to fix her life. She’s mature and intelligent. I’m sure she can handle it,” he said.
