I think she’s applying here in ABS-CBN. Communication Arts graduate <i>kasi siya.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>On the other hand, his daughter Kaila seems to be interested in pursuing a modeling career. “<i>Kamukha ng ate ko</i>. Estrada <i>talaga ‘yan. Ang plano niya dati gusto niya mag</i>model<i> muna. Hindi ko alam kung itutuloy niya kasi marami akong kaibigan na </i>designers <i>na gusto kumuha sa kanya mag</i>-ramp modelling.” </div><div><br/></div><div>Asked if he’d allow his daughters to enter show business, John simply replied, “<i>Wala namang masama sa industriya talaga. Ang maa</i>-advise <i>ko lang, kung gusto nila pumasok, mahalin nila yung industriya at saka yung trabaho nila</i>.”</div>
