Comedian Jose Manalo's doctor daughter pays tribute to her understanding dad

Comedian Jose Manalo's doctor daughter pays tribute to her understanding dad

"No words were needed. You understood me. You always stood by my side."

You put your plate on the table and turn the television on to watch Eat Bulaga, the noontime show that has been running ever since you were young.

Most probably, one of your favorite hosts out of all the Dabarkads on the show is Jose Manalo.

We know him as Aldub’s beloved Lola Tinidora in Juan for All, All for Juan’s hit segment Kalyeserye. You have also seen him in some sitcoms and has acted as Vic Sotto’s sidekick in a lot of his movies.

With all his crazy antics on television, one might find it hard to imagine that the 52-year-old comedian’s serious side.

The beloved comedian is an understanding and supportive dad

Jose’s daughter, Dr. Myki Manalo, 26, has always shown her gratitude and love for her father through her Instagram account, where she always lets him know that she misses him. The loving daughter also reminds her hardworking dad to take care of himself.

On June 18, a day after Father’s day, she posted a loving tribute to her dad. It was captioned with a story about one of the times Jose proved himself to be one of the coolest dads in the world.

“I remember this one time back in college when I had personal problems and I was being particularly difficult. I didn’t attend all my classes one day, even missed an exam, and you caught me,” she wrote. 

Myki, who’s now a licensed doctor, was having personal problems one time during college, so she skipped school one day and missed an exam. Her dad caught her, but instead of getting mad, he was very calm as he picked up his daughter off campus. He even brought her to an ice cream place near De La Salle University, where Myki was majoring in Psychology.

“Surprisingly, you didn’t get mad. You were unusually calm…Eventually I cried so hard. I couldn’t stop. You just hugged me. We stayed like that for a long while. No words were needed. You understood me. You always stood by my side. Your mere presence was enough to get me through. I yearn for it daily. I miss you, daddy. Please keep yourself healthy and happy. Happy father’s day!”

Dr. Myki’s story tells us how loving Jose Manalo is as a father. Contrary to his chatty on-cam personality, this loving dad of five knows the importance of silence – that talking is not always the answer. As a parent, he knows how to respect his daughter’s feelings by giving her space and not adding to her problems and overwhelming emotions.
