"Mr. Pure Energy" Gary Valenciano said he feels that his son, Gab, was not ready when he married blogger-model Tricia Centenera.
Gab married Centenera three times – in a civil ceremony in the United States in 2014, and in Tagaytay and Boracay in 2015.
In an interview on ANC's Headstart hosted by Karen Davila on Friday, Valenciano said he thinks Gab was "trying to keep up with the Joneses" when he decided to tie the knot.
"I had to apologize to him because there were times that I felt even before they got married that perhaps, Gab was trying to keep up with the Joneses. Because Jericho Rosales got married, other friends of Paolo (Valenciano, Gab's brother) got married, Paolo got married, and now Gab was left behind," Valenciano said.
"So when they finally did get married, even before that, I would look at my son Gabriel all the time and just watch him. And I have to trust because he seems to know exactly what he wants. So that's when prayer really became so much a part of my life. As in a different kind of prayer... which was, 'Lord, you just have to guide my son and touch his heart,'" he added.
Valenciano said the things that his son and Centenera went through in their marriage would probably "drive many people crazy."
"Gab and Tricia have both been through so, so much. I mean, many people, it would drive them crazy," he said.
It was in September 2016 when rumors about the couple's marital woes first surfaced. This as Centenera shared on Twitter a quote about "making something new."
She has since confirmed to ABS-CBN News that Valenciano wanted to end their marriage, and claimed that the young singer-dancer has been "emotionally abusive to her."
Gab for his part, has said that he wants to deal with his marriage problems privately.
In October last year, Centenera revealed that her husband Gab has apologized for cheating on her.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit daming nagkakagusto kay gab feeling pogi lang naman.
ReplyDeleteMadame ba? Enumerate. Hmm atleast 1. Haha

DeleteSame rin naman sa girl. Hindi naman maganda and L pa siya before kaya.
Deleteidagdag mo na rin si Rachel Ann Go. buti na lang di sila nagkatuluyan.
Delete12:48 please add Isabel Oli and Rachel Ann Go! Oh yan 4 na sila ha!
Delete12:43 More than one na yan! Hahaha!
12:48 dagdag mo na rin sa Rachelle Ann Go and Isabel Oli
DeleteNakakaloka. Di ready for marriage pero naka tatlong wedding. Oh the irony! But i guess Gab was in love with the concept of love.
DeleteIbig lang sabihin na 4 nagka gusto sa kanya, marami siyang nabola.
DeleteNot ready pero ilang beses inulit ang pagpapakasal. Huwag kami Gary!!!
Deletedi sya ready eh 3x nagpakasal? so si girl lang may gusto ng 3x wedding ganern?? kaloka
Deleteprenup lang Mr Pure Energy, prenup lang, it will Defintely save your sons life, and all the hard earned money you work very hard for
DeleteTrue love is definitely , another matter, hataw na 😸⛵
KULANG PA! DAPAT EVERY YEAR SIYA NAGPAPAKASAL!
DeleteMary Gary V, `wag na po idamay si lord at prayers sa sariling problema ng anak nyo. Basing on your statement, Gab felt left behind and so he was sort of doing it because of that. In other words, your son really is just one insecured brat.
ReplyDeleteANO DAW IYONG MEANING NUNG ENGLISH PART?
DeleteDear, faith ni Gary yun. Dasal nya sa panginoon yun. May sarili kang paniniwala, di nya pinapakialaman. Kung lumabas man sa bibig ni Gary ang dyos, dahil yun talaga ang laman ng puso nya. Wag kang sobrang marunong.
DeleteNabanggit nya kasi nga alam nyang may problema yung anak nya! Syempre bilang magulang ipagdadasal mo naman talaga yung mga decisions ng anak mo! Lalo na kung alam mong mali. Kaloka 'to hindi nagets.
Deleteniyakap ni Gab yung kamunduhan na gianagalawan ng mga magulang niya
DeletePati ba naman pagdadasal ng taong problemado sa anak niya papakialaman pa?! 🙄
Deletegab wasn't ready for marriage but he married tricia not once, not twice, but three 'effin times. Lol! What a joke!
ReplyDeleteHihi truth!
DeleteSo true baks! Hahaha tell that to the marines
DeleteMaybe the reason why he had to do it over and over again was to convince himself that what he really wants? He was probably trying to take it till he makes it.
DeleteEste fake it till he makes it
Deletenon - sense 12:42 . He's doing it for hype, for the news, for the camera. No way would he spend something just to convince himself that he really wants it. LOL. And this guy comes from a family of God, prayers and all. LOL
Deleteready lang siya wedding hindi sa marriage
Deletelol 1:21 . i can't understand the logic
DeleteAnon 2:38 He wanted the attention of being celebrated in a wedding, the media coverage, prenup videos, etc, but was not ready to put in work sa marriage.
Delete2:38 What 1:21 meant was yung fairytale aspect ng isang wedding ceremony. Syempre you can't help but feel na the couple would stay together. Pero yung married life - another matter na yon.
DeleteIn other words:
Wedding = expectations
Marriage = reality
anon 2:38, wedding is the ceremony while marriage is the lifetime commitment. gets mo na?
DeleteI think 12:42 is right. Gusto nya yung idea na kinakasal sya. Gusto nya yung idea na magkakapamilya na sya but hindi pa sya talaga ready sa ganung level. Daming ganyan ngayon. Yung mga taong malungkot pag mag isa kaya nagpapakasal o nagjojowa, akala nila pag may kasama sila sasaya na sila pero ang nangyayari lang pati yung jowa nila nagiging miserable. Gusto lang nila ng karamay sa lungkot. Kaya nga dapat matutunan muna ng mga tao maging masaya bilang single at buo sya hindi yung broken bago pumasok sa relationship o marriage.
DeleteNarcissist nga yata itong si gab. Diba sinabi din ni RAG na verbally abusive itong lalaking ito?
DeleteNot ready pero twice nagpakasal. Sus
ReplyDeleteThree times kamo
Delete3 times pa nga, pinag-kagastusan ng todo-todo, tapos di pa ready magpakasal, ano yan, lokohan? Sira din tung ama eh, bakit pumayag sa spoiled at mayabang na anakis.
Delete12:45. Si gary pa sira sayo ngayon? His kid made the decision and he is an adult. Even if gary prevented the marriage kung gusto ng may katawan, wala syang magagawa. I'm sure u made decisions in your life that you regret doing later on. Hindi mo pwedeng i blame yun sa parents mo if the decision was purely yours.
DeleteKULANG....DAPAT YEARLY PALA!
DeletePangaralan ang anak Gary huwag takpan.
ReplyDeleteWasn't ready?! He married Tricia for 3 times so yung kasal pala ngayon laro late Lang. Pa cool tin itong si Gab e.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get how that prayer worked or had anothing to do with his son if that was said BEFORE Gab tied the knot.
ReplyDeleteI think what he was trying to say is that there wasnt anything else that he can do. Na ayaw niyang manghimasok and he wanted his child to make his own decisions so all you can do as a parent is pray for your child.
DeleteAnd the way to get out of it was to cheat? Nice!
ReplyDeleteAa much as I want to understand Gary kasi he is just being a father, I can't. Nakakainis na he is trying to justify his son's wrong doing. If he isn't really ready, why marry thrice? Bakit pa nya binuntis then after mabuntis at saka hihiwalayan? Why???? Nandamay pa sya ng buhay na sinira. If he wasn't ready, sana di na lang nya pinakasalan.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I hate about theae people overly professing about their faith is how they hide behind their faith to justify such a bad deed.
buntis b si tricia?
DeleteI agree, except for the "buntis" part. Hindi naman ata buntis si girl.
DeleteAnyway, I pray too and have faith, but this guy's preaching is unbearable at times. His justifications here are pure lies.
12:53 baks di naman nagbuntis si tricia. kalma lang
Delete"One thing I hate about theae people overly professing about their faith is how they hide behind their faith to justify such a bad deed."
Delete----12:53AM, true. Fake talaga. They justify their bad deeds via "pa-preach kunwari" na akala mo totoo talaga. Pastor-pastoran lang talaga ..
12:53 TRUE
DeleteGanyan karamihan ng mga overly religious person, self righteous at sensitive but insensitive to people around them.
Deleteyou da man!
DeleteI agree with Anon 12:53. Why can't Gary just admit his son made the mistake of cheating on the girl rather than justifying about him not ready to be married. 3x and not ready? Asus! Papa don't preach!!! I cannot!
Delete11:20 Hindi naman niya pahihiyain si Gab sa public. Gab went through struggles before and was open about it. Hindi magaling mag dala ng problema si Gab. Pero sana wag nga nila palampasin ang ginawa ni Gab. Gab should work on truly apologizing kay Tricia, hindi naman kailangan maging friends pero proper closure kung hindi pa nangyayari dahil end ng kasal ang sa kanila hindi lang bf-gf relationship. Yun lang ang kailangan ni Tricia dati na makausap si Gab kaya medyo beast mode. Pero matagal na yun at hindi na nagpaparinig si Tricia siguro ok na sila. Dapat lesson learned ito kay Gab at wag niyang ulitin, walang masama kung 40 na siya magpakasal basta talagang handa siya.
DeleteWhat happened to their American Dream? Photos of their house and BMW pa before, di ba? More pa kasi ang photoshoot sa IG instead of working on the "real" marriage.
ReplyDeleteSocmed goals baks hindi naapply as real life couple goals
DeleteFor show lang yung house and car nila sa US just like their 3 weddings. Tapos nabalita rin na hinahabol ata sila nung may ari ng bahay sa US dahil hindi sila nagbayad ng rent.
Delete4:39 So rental pala yung house and not a mortgage? Ngek,ma i show off lng e.
DeleteHindi ready pero three times nagpakasal ! Kakaloka! At pwede ba mr gary valenciano can you just admit na nagkasala ang son mo nag loko nga diba umamin na uy! Kalat na!, wala naman masama feeling kasi nila mighty family sila porket religious pero ang gulo gulo naman sa totoong buhay always mention pa sa name ni God in vain na kesyo God have better plans, maybe God wants this, lords prayer wala naman masama pero they're making it a facade and an excuse to cover up everything, kasi nga Valenciano family daw, wag kame! Charot!
ReplyDeleteHindi ready pero tatlong beses ang ceremony? Nako ha! Palusot pa kayo e simple lang naman, hindi faithful ung anak mo. Tapos!
ReplyDeleteThey made a mockery of marriage and weddings.
ReplyDeleteYour son was the sole reason for the "craziness" that him and his wife went through. He caused the problem, and in the process, caused his wife so much pain!
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't deserve sympathy for the "craziness (as you call it)" that he went through. He caused it! The wife deserves sympathy for getting dragged into the "craziness."
Ito yung mga ipokritong tao!!!
ReplyDeleteSo true 2:51.
DeleteBrat nga si Gab. To think na lalaki siya bakit siya nagmamadali maghanap ng asawa. Dahil lang nainggit sa kaibigan at kapatid, hindi niya naisip na baka may masaktan siya.
ReplyDeletein every family meron talga isa sa mga siblings ang pasaway sabi nga eh black sheep. kya ang mga parents prayers lang ang magagawa pra s mga ganyan anak. A child's fate to learn the hard way while growing up.
ReplyDeleteHinde lahat.
DeleteNo parent would want to put his child on a bad light. Aminado naman sila na may fault si son, maybe he's just trying to downplay what his son did para hindi naman sobrang sama ng image sa public. Siyempre di naman niya pwedeng ipagdiinan na kasalanan talaga ng anak niya.
ReplyDeleteNot ready for marriage is not an excuse. It's like an exam in school, since you're not ready for the test, it can be used as an excuse for failing? It's not bad to admit the mistake and just apologise to the other party.
