In a rare instance, actress Meryll Soriano let her fans glimpse of her family life during their trip to Puerto Galera.

On YouTube, Meryll vlogged how she and her half-siblings celebrated Father's Day with popular game show host Willie Revillame.

In the second part of the video uploaded recently, Meryll along with sister Marimonte and brother Juan Emmanuel shared a peek inside Willie's yacht.

The siblings roamed around the front and aft deck, dining area, and the five-room cabin, among others.

Walking in the yacht, Marimonte said that despite Willie's "very busy" schedule, he still makes sure to allot time for her and her other three siblings.

The children also talked about's Willie's pet peeve.

According to the trio, their dad has this obsession with neatness and cleanliness that no shoes would be allowed inside the cabin, and guests can't eat in there.

Meryll said that she is "proud" of what her father has accomplished.

"Napaka-proud bilang isang anak na merong ganito ang Papa ko," she said. "Kasi si Papa nagstart as drummer, so galing siya talaga sa isang hindi naman ganitong klaseng buhay."

Meryll admitted getting shy if spotted at her dad's properties, saying she doesn't want to look "boastful."

The actress pointed out she's just really a "proud" daughter.

"Totoo naman talagang nakakaproud na meron siyang lahat ng ito dahil ang naalala ko nga ni pambili ng toothbrush wala siya," she related.

More than anything, she's thankful that Willie's humble beginnings "inspired" her to reach her goals.

In fact, whenever she's going through some problems, she would just think about the struggles of her dad and how he became successful. "Nabibili niya gusto niya, natutulungan niya yung maraming tao."

Marimonte, on the other hand, said his dad is "deserving" of all the blessings he has been getting.

"Kasi pinaghirapan niya. Hindi yung biglaan lang na naging millionaire siya. Nakakatuwa talaga. He's an inspiration to me," she declared, adding she also learned a lot of things about life.

Juan Emmanuel, son of Willie with Liz Almoro, meanwhile, has nothing but good words.

"I get super inspired by my dad. Every time I visit, I learn something new. And when I come back to my mom's, I learn all these new things na you know, I gotta work hard, even with being OC with my room, being clean, being organized, being very in-order," he said.

"Sometimes people or it may come of na medyo mayabang na we have all these things, but it's just really a result of my dad's hard work. Kasi it decades of work talaga eh, from the bottom."

In the same vlog, Willie was also seen bonding with his apos.

He even deemed Meryll's six-month-old newborn with Joem Bascon as their "big boss."
