Cesar Montano Silent About Son's Accusations

CESAR Montano’s son Diego says he’s not in good terms with his dad, complaining that Cesar promised him a car but it never came. He’s obviously sore with his dad that’s why he now prefers to live with Bing Loyzaga (sister of his mom, Teresa) rather than live with his dad and stepmom Sunshine Cruz. Cesar understandably refuses to answer back his son’s accusations against him. He told a friend, “Mas lalaki lang 'yan pag sasagot ako.”

And it’s true. But he cannot prevent his friends from defending him. “Pinalalabas ng bata na pinababayaan siya ng ama niya when Cesar just gave him his tuition fee para sa high school studies niya sa OB Montessori. Ayaw naman talaga ni Cesar na pumasok siya sa showbiz, pero nagpilit sila ng ina niya. Tapos, humihingi sa kanya ng condo unit, pero di niya binigyan. Mahal na mahal ni Cesar ang bata kaya gusto niya, sa kanya ito tumira para magabayan niya nang personal, pero ayaw naman. Mas okay na sa kanyang matira ito kay Bing para may guardian, kaysa sa gusto nito to live alone in his own condo. He never promised a car to Diego. That’s what his son asked from him. He can give Diego a car but ayaw niya as he believes Diego is too young at 16 to drive his own car. Mamaya, mapahamak, siya pa ang masisi. But his son cannot seem to understand this.”
