Action star Jeric Raval has revealed he stopped being a womanizer because it's a sin.
During the story conference of his upcoming movie "Lanao" held at the Pandan Asian Cafe in Morato, Quezon City on Dec. 7, Jeric admitted her got serious with many women in showbiz and non-showbiz.
"Kasalanan ang mambabae. Na-realize ko na hindi pala tama ang mambabae. Nauubos lang kasi yung panahon na dapat sana ay sa family at anak mo. Narealize ko yan mga year 2004.
(Being a womanizer is a sin. I realized that womanizing is not right. The time that should be spent with your family and children is just running out. I realized that around 2004.)
"Lahat naman in good terms ako sa mga ex ko. Magkakaibigan naman lahat sila. Meron taga-showbiz meron naman hindi.
(I'm on good terms with my exes. They are all friends. Some are from showbiz and some are not.)
"Yung huli magkaka-edad. Sabay-sabay kasi nanganak eh. Alam naman ng lahat yun eh. Dati tinatago ko yun eh dahil nahihiya ako noong araw.
(The last four children have the same age. Because their mothers gave birth almost at the same time. Everyone knows that. I used to hide it because I was shy back in the day.)
"So ngayon malaki na yung mga bata. Twenty-two na sila pare-pareho. Yung 22 ko lima.
(So now the kids are big. They are all twenty-two. Five of my kids are 22 years old.)
"Imagine paano ka natawid lahat yun sa hirap ng buhay kaya until now hindi ako humihinto. I mean hindi ako humihinto sa buhay.
(Imagine how you got through all that with the hardships of life so until now I don't stop. I mean I don't stop in life.)
"Kailangan good provider. Huminto na ako sa pambabae. Semi-retired na ako (sa pambababae). Patingin-tingin na lang ako," said Jeric.
(You need to be a good provider. I've stopped working with women. I'm semi-retired (with women). I'm just looking around.)
Jeric, 47, is the father of Vivamax star AJ Raval.
Aster Amoyo, former talent manager of Jeric, said that the hunk action star has 18 children from different women.
When asked if he got serious with only four women, Jeric simply laughed.
