Jomari Yllana: “Hindi ko naman na-influence yung bata. Hilig lang niya talaga.”
JOMARI YLLANA – The organizing head of Motorsport Carnivale recently spoke about his son Andre’s talent in motorsport racing.
Jomari Yllana, who is a longtime racing enthusiast, said during the official media launch of Motorsport Carnivale that Andre is among the 50 competing racers in the said event.
Andre is the son of Jomari Yllana with ex-wife Aiko Melendez.
The actor-politician shared that he didn’t influence his son to do motor sport but he watched races held at the Batangas Racing Circuit and at Clark. He added that his son wants to do motor sport as well.
“Hindi ko naman na-influence yung bata. Hilig lang niya talaga. It’s in him and yung mga sinasalihan niya in the beginning when he was 18, he tried drag racing sanctioned events,” he said about his son. “So he was enjoying it. I didn’t expect na magugustuhan niya all throughout.”
Jomari added that having a talent in motorsport racing is a “special gift” given to his son and so it’s their responsibility as parents to nourish and develop that talent.
Just like any parent, the actor-politician admitted that it was only natural for him and his ex-wife to be concerned for their whenever he competes. But Jomari makes sure to guide Andre towards becoming a professional and safe driver.
With the Philippines’ biggest motorsport event currently ongoing in Okada Manila until August 6, 2023, the actor-politician shared how excited he is to watch his son Andre compete. He went on to share that his son is “gifted talaga” and his instinct is high when it comes to motorsport and competitive racing.
