Michael V is married to Carol for 30 years in civil, and 27 years in church.
Bernadette praised the actor’s honesty and loyalty, especially in an industry often associated with temptations.
“There’s no other way to do it. Pag husband ka, yun lang talaga ang dapat mong gawin,” he responded with conviction.
Despite working alongside many attractive stars in showbiz, Michael V emphasized that no one compares to his wife.
“Para sa akin pinaka-sexy pa rin misis ko,” he declared proudly.
The actor also explained the anchor of his unwavering commitment.
“Syempre yung loyalty mo sa partner mo tsaka yung vows na binitawan ninyo, that’s number one,” he said.
He emphasized their marriage in the church, highlighting infidelity as a shameful act to do in front of God. He also noted that comedians are often stereotyped as womanizers but chose to defy that reputation.
“Para maiba lang. Hindi naman kailangan ganun talaga,” he said.
The comedian revealed how his principles influence his work in showbiz. He recounted instances where writers attempted to include romantic or suggestive scenes in his films. However, he would carefully assess whether such scenes were essential to the story.
“Pag tinanggal mo ang eksena na ‘to magmo-move ba yung istorya? Parang pwede naman,” he explained, maintaining his commitment and boundaries even in his professional life.
