Richard Yap's daughter Ashley, who just launched her first ever health and wellness product dubbed Sip2Glow, shared a positive comment when asked for a reaction regarding his dad being a heartthrob.

She said, "Natutuwa naman po ako. Actually, marami pong nagsasabi sa akin na, 'Oh my God, crush ko yung daddy mo,' or 'oh my God ang hot ng daddy mo,' tapos parang natatawa na lang po ako kasi sanay na po ako. And I'm very happy because even at his age may nagkaka-crush pa rin sa kanya." 

(I'm happy about it. Actually, many are coming up to me saying things like, 'Oh my God, I have a crush on your dad,' or "Oh my God your dad is so hot," and it makes me laugh because I'm used to it. And I'm very happy because even at his age many are still crushing on him)

Richard, who was also present at the event, quickly added, "Actually lagi niyang sinasabi sa akin na mas mabuti na may nagkakacrush sayo, kaysa wala [laughs]."

(Actually, she always tell me that it's okay that people are still crushing on you, instead of none)

Ashley is also joining show business, signing up with GMA's talent arm, Sparkle. She dreams of working with her dad someday.

Asked if he is willing to let Ashley join a love team, Richard answered, "I'm okay with it because she's mature enough to do what she wants. If she was eighteen siguro hindi pwede, pero ngayon alam ko na kaya na ni Ashley."

(I'm okay with it because she's mature enough to do what she wants. If she was eighteen maybe I wouldn't, but now I know that Ashley can handle it)

Ashley and Richard are quite close.

It is as such that it was a no-brainer for Ashley to actually pick her dad as endorser of Sip2Glow, the first and only ready-to-sip collagen drink in the market.

During the event, Ashley shared the most important advice  her dad taught her.

"I think one of the most important things I learned from my parents is to really take care of your team and to never forget to be thankful to them," Ashley said.
