That may still have to wait because as of press time Cloie hasn't seen her actor-father. According to her and mom Jenny Syquia, they only had indirect communication with Gabby through Twitter and her sister KC.
“I'm very excited to bond with my dad,” exclaimed Cloie who already spent time with her sisters KC and Garrie.
So what will she tell her father when she finally meets him?
“I don't know what I'm going to say. It will just be natural. I love to see him and I missed him all these years,” intimated Cloie.
What she remembers about Gabby was the time he brought a Barney mascot to their hotel room.
“I've loved Barney since my childhood. I always watch him. I remember Barney in front of our room with lots of candies,” recalls Cloie smiling.
Time will tell when they'll meet in person and bond. They could have even met by now. Cloie will be busy honing her talents to prepare herself for a showbiz career together with sisters Garie and KC. She inked a three-year contract with VAA yesterday.
Vic del Rosario, head of Viva Films and its affiliates, explained that Cloie will cut a demo for them to gauge her singing prowess. They're doing this so they'd know how to improve her talents.
“Umpisahan muna namin sa modeling then eventually acting. Ayaw naming biglain,” explained Veronique del Rosario who heads VAA, the talent and artist management division of Viva.
So why did Jenny allow Cloie to come to Manila and sign up with Viva?
Jenny shared that when Cloie asked her if she could give modeling a chance, she didn't allow her because her daughter was only 14 then.
“She was too young then to face what kind of life she would be engaged in, plus the gossips and intrigues in showbiz,” Jenny explained further. Showbiz is demanding. It takes a lot of time and you have to be 100% in it!
