Paolo’s past relationships and family dynamics have long been a topic of discussion in showbiz circles, often attracting harsh comments online.

In the interview, Paolo shared how netizens react whenever they see him spending time with his children. “Meron akong nabasa nu’ng isang araw, alam naman ng mga tao, nakikita ko ‘yung mga anak ko, ‘di ba (sina Xonia at Xalene)? Sabi nu’ng isa, ‘Ayan, ‘yan ‘yung sinasabi namin. Dapat nagkikita kayo ng mga anak mo,’” he recalled.

While he acknowledged that people see these moments, Paolo made it clear that he does not live his life to please critics. He directly addressed his bashers with a strong message: “Pakialam ko sa ‘yo! At feeling nila naayos ‘yung buhay ko dahil sa mga sinabi nila ‘di ba? No! Kailangan matuto ka lang sumala ng ganu’n.

Paolo also admitted that social media can be extremely toxic and damaging to mental health. According to him, one of the things he is grateful for is growing up in a time when social media did not yet exist. This allowed him to develop a stronger sense of self before being exposed to online judgment.

Now that social media is unavoidable, Paolo shared that he has learned to be more selective about what he absorbs. He said that maturity comes with knowing which voices matter and which ones should be ignored. For him, not everything seen online deserves attention or emotional energy.

Despite the controversies tied to his past, Paolo continues to focus on personal growth and being present for his children whenever possible. His recent statements reflect a man who has learned from his mistakes and is choosing to move forward with clarity and self-awareness.
