EXCLUSIVE: ANG REBELASYON NG NANAY NI EJ OBIENA | Bernadette Sembrano

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
- I had the privilege of interviewing the Philippines' Olympian pole vaulter, EJ Obiena. What is it about this guy that has so many Titas crushing on him?
EJ hails from Tondo, Manila. His mother, Jeanette Obiena, admitted that peace and order were one of the reasons she was strict with curfews while raising her children.
Jeanette was a hands-on mom who quit her teaching job at a private Chinese girls' school to focus on her children. Both of her kids were into sports, like she and her husband. Her main event was hurdles, and her husband's was pole vault. For them, sports was a good insurance for their children to receive a quality education. Ironically, pursuing the Olympics didn't initially sit well with EJ's father.
EJ expresses himself in fluent English, thanks to spending ten years in Europe, but you can still see the Tondo boy in him. "I like beating the Europeans in their own sport," he says with pride.
He makes no excuses about his loss at the Olympics. "It's a loss, and sports can be brutal," he tells me. Looking at him, there is no trace of anguish--just grace, grit, and the determination to train and compete again. EJ is set on showing Filipinos that we can dream big and achieve those dreams, because we are GREAT. And yes, WE ARE indeed.

This tall handsome guy EJ Obiena is a complete package to be a model to the new generation. Congratulations MILO, you did the PERFECT MODEL CHOICE. Si EJ ang dapat tularan ng mga kabataan ngayon.😊😊😊😊
@@mikesanguenza9367 how about not getting at least a Bronze Medal in the Olympics?
With the right mindset and attitude, an athlete can win the heart of millions even without medal. God Bless you, EJ!
Ang sarap panoorin na ini interview sya na ang kasama nya ay ang nanay nya , ang sarap nilang panoorin , inspiring.
True parents being there for you is a good feeling, na kung wala sila parang di mo kakayanin.pero dahil,andyan sila sau in good times and bad times manalo matalo sila parin ang number one fan mo,,na di mawawala di ka iiwanan. He’s a real good model a good person and son. Aabangan ko ang winning nya in 2028. Lahat tayo that for sure. I’am sure he will make it..😊
EJ Obiena is a good role model to the Filipino youth.
The parents are also a role model.
Very much agree ❤

Kudos to the parents of EJ Obiena! You raised a beautiful human being. EJ is a national treasure kaya mahal na mahal sya ng mga Pilipino.
Intelligent guy yet humble. And can express himself very well. A real good model to the youth of today.
Ito talaga ang atletang dapat iniidolo at karespe respeto.
I couldn't agree with you more ❤.
EJ is really smart and young people can get a lot of nuggets of wisdom by listening to him.
A very good role model for our modern Filipino youth.Congratulations EJ...a wonderful human being...a true asset for MILO.
MILO knows best. 💚
Gold medals are immaterial..good values w/in you
Will bring you until forever,U will be remembered because of ur good influence to others👏
Agree napaka perfect na role model ng atletang ito.
I agree to that nothing worth than gold and ego
para sa akin siya ang tunay na nanalo kahit wala siyang naiuwing medalya nanalo nman siya sa taong sambayanan dahil sa mabuting tao, mabuting anak at mabuting asal kaya binigyan siya ni GOD ng karangalan yan ay ang MILO congrats
EJ Obiena is a good example to the youth. It is his humility, vulnerability and love for his parents that make people love and support him.
As a son, Europe didn't change him. The accolades and achievements didn't change him. The only thing that "changed" is that he now has greater motivation to give back to the sport and help young, aspiring athletes to believe in themselves and chase their dreams as he did. Truly a real champion.
What a stark difference! EJ said his family cared for him as an INDIVIDUAL and told him things that he needed to hear and not the things he wanted to hear. EJ is 28 years old and those conversations started way back when he was younger. Truly admirable demonstrating not only maturity but also staying grounded and maintaining respect for his family. Mom is so proud and truly blessed to have a son like EJ. She admits to being overly protective and worries a lot for her son but EJ understands. God bless EJ and his family and may the youth of today see the importance of family. It is not a toxic culture. It is a value to be instilled for generations to come as this demonstrates our unique culture which exhibits love for our parents and the elderly. Only in the Philippines where we take care of the old, keep them happy and comfortable until their last breath. At the end of the day, it is all about kindness and respect and not selfishness and ungraciousness.
Living away from his parents/family and friends for a long time in a foreign land for training, he certainly had so many struggles. Pero hindi niya dinahilan ang "mental health" para hanapin sa kung saan-saan pa ang inspirasyon na kailangan niya because he is firmly rooted in his values and love for family. Truly a gem of a son and an admirable athlete.
@@28andee People with depression do have these feelings of being persecuted for their beliefs and often misunderstood. They should be given understanding- however, the other athlete’s utter disrespect to his family is not the action of a person worthy to be admired. To think he allowed another person to disrespect his own mother is insane.
@@candybon101 What I mean is so many people nowadays -- generally speaking and not just a specific person -- often misconstrue the words "depression" and "mental health" and end up overusing it to the point of making it an excuse. Because really the gravity of one's mental health can only be properly diagnosed by a professional. But these days it's being carelessly tossed around as if it's a badge of honor or this easy way out of every argument that even the typical feelings of being sad or disappointed is automatically labeled as being depressed. And many young people today won't admit to this because they are making it their kind of an accessible shield, na pag hindi na nila madefend ang pagiging disrespectful or self-entitled nila or pag pinagsasabihan o pinupuna sila, napakadali na lang nilang sumagot ng, "Eh depressed ako eh!" or "Deserve ko 'to for my mental health!" 😬
@@28andee Agreed!
this is the kind of athletes that we should look forward to.. he has the values instilled in him.. i feel so proud for the parents . thank you for raising a person that come up into this kind of priceless son... congrats sir and mam 🎉🎉🎉
best interview with an athlete walang eme eme may ga problema den sIla along the way but they still chose to support EJ and EJ alsO for loving his parents no matter what milo chose the best role model for their brand congratulations EJ
An interview of Faith, love, hope and humility. Faith because he knows the blessings and talent he has is from above. Love, love of a parent supporting his or her child. A child giving back to his parents. Hope and not giving up. Lastly humility. Giving back and helping others.
Keep inspiring Ej Obiena. Thank you Ms Bernadette. More positive vibes interview in the future.
Ej and family are educated and very professional with their perspective in life.
class❤
Medals or achievement sa buhay ay panlabas na tagumpay lamang.. pero ang values at character ang magla last... You will be remember sa mundong ito hindi sa narating kundi paano ka bilang isang individual.. kudos sa inyong pamilya.. long live EJ
Ang dalawang Ginto sa buhay ni EJ ay ang mama at papa nya💕

Nirequest ko to kay Ogie..Andito pala kay Ate B and idol ng lahat na si EJ Obiena...I never followed him pero when he cried after failing getting a medal in the olympics, my heart broke...😢 He is hardworking and very grounded...Yan ang TOTOONG IDOLO NG LAHAT...Wala pa yang olympics medal...Go lang EJ...I believe that God laid everything perfectly for you...Just wait...Trust in his timeline...😊
Ito dapat ang iniinterview hindi yung Isang toxic sa mga kabataan.
Wait mong interview din dito si Carlos Yulo.
@@Heavenbyyoursideminus dapat ang bruha nyang kapartner!
Congratulations EJ. You’re a true champion in our heart. ❤️
Sobrang mapagmahal sa magulang si EJ.,napakabuti mo ,..i salute you EJ.....GOD BLESS you...i declare na nxt year magiging gold medalist ka....
Amen
Kudos 👏 to ur parents..they raise a good and true heart of a champion..
EJ, you didn't win the medal but you've won the Filipino's hearts. Continue chasing your dreams. Praying that you'll be able to fight in the next olympics with honor and glory.
@@cas2453 truth! Kahit gaano pa kadami ang medal mo kung hindi ka marunong magphalaga or tumanaw sa mga unang sumuporta sayo at nagpapakamatayog ka, malamang malakas ang bagsak mo. Pero good thing good son si EJ! 😉
So proud your a humble person..patuloy molang ang maging mabuting anak.
Ang cute nga ni EJ Obiena. Bagay na model ng MILO
Yesss you’ve raised a champion in mother’s ❤️
I like the interview. Kaiyak naman mommy ej. Laging tandaan mahal Ng mga Nanay Ang anak as always.
alam na naten lahat kung sino ang hindi naten tinutukoy dito 🤭🤭🤭
Hindi lahat, yung iba tinatakwil mga anak 🥳🥳
@@rescued08 In denial ang toxic fans nung isa. Parang bugbog sarado or ginutom or pinalimos sa kalsada ang idol nila nung bata pa kaya abusado or toxic daw ang nanay nung isa. E yun pala di naman ganun kagrabe ang ginawa ng nanay sa pera nya at kaya pala nagsalita nang masasama kasi may nangyari na kinasama ng loob ang ina. Context matters pero ginagawang literal ang sinabi ng nanay (e nanay ko parati akong pinapalayas pag nag-aaway kami hahaha).
Kahit itong si EJ, nung una pala ayaw ng tatay maging athlete/Olympiad di ba? So sa iba ang ibig sabihin nun ay walang support nung una ang ama so ang tawag nila doon ay toxic tulad ng batikos doon sa isang nanay lol.
Natural lang nakikialam ang mga magulang natin kasi pinoy culture na sinasabing toxic daw e ganun din naman ang parents ni EJ at inamin pa ng nanay nya na makulit sya.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 kasi nga ung bumubulong sa kanya na GF e “mahusay” rin mag advice! Buti pa si EJ classy to handle a relationship!
@whatevergoesforme5129 that's real talk..
So admirable EJ 🙏🏻🫶🏼💙💙 Genuine winner!! to our hearts.
Right time will come for you EJ. Matalo manalo, malaking karangalan ang binibigay mo sa Pinas. At salamat, hindi mo pinagpapalit ang Bandila natin sa iba. Saludo ako sayo. 🇵🇭🩷
I think the support of Carlos Yulo's parents was the same parents with that of EJ Obiena. To find resources to give everything to their son to become what they want to be in the future. Tingnan mo kahit si EJ pala ay pinagalitan at pinatitigil din ng tatay niya, but he took it positively. Napalayo din naman siya sa pamilya pero hindi ginamit ang dahilang "mental stress" at isisi ang absence ng pamilya sa training. He really was humble, has a good character and love for his parents. Proud parent talaga si Mrs. Obiena.
Sad to say, Carlos became the opposite when he got hooked with Chloe's influence. What a nasty thing to hear from him : " Ang magulang ay hindi niya responsibilidad. Pero responsibilidad ng magulang na siya ay pakainin at alagaan dahil siya ay anak."
What the heck?
Yes! As a parent, I feel for the other athlete's family- sobra and pasakit sa kanila ng anak na kanilang inaruga at ngayon ay binabastos sila. EJ is the best role model for the youth.
Iba kasi approach ng magulang ni yulo kc hindi sila kagaya ng magulang ni ej na mukang educated at may finesse. Pero sa pagmamahal pareho yan mga nanay. Nagsalita man ng masakit si angelica kc naniniwala ko naprovoke sya. Never naman nya minaltrato si caloy. Ginawa lang dahilan ni caloy para makawala at makasama sya kay goldi.
Ung parents kasi ni Caloy Abusado.ginawang bread and butter ung anak unlike kay Ej mayaman ang pamilya nya at may maayos na estado sa buhay.
@@JmSphinx Tama. A mother is a mother no matter what. Depende yan kung ano ang nakayanan ng ina mo na ibigay sa iyo bilang suporta. I grew up in a poor family and my nanay only finished 5th grade and my tatay died when we were young. She worked odd jobs to support us and prioritized our education hanggang makatapos kami lahat ng college. I used to envy my friends with professional parents who seemed to be better in everything than my nanay only to realize that my nanay had to make do with what she had to provide for us because she didn't want us to end up like her- no education, no opportunities for success in life. She did her best and went through all the hardships just to give us a better future and not to make us her retirement plan. Kung walang pagmamahal and magulang e di sana hinayaan ka na lang sa kalye habang ipunin na lamang nila yung kita nila para sa pagtanda nila. It is up to the child to be grateful and just be kind. Now it is my greatest happiness and fulfillment to provide her everything that she needs in her old age. Nakakasaya talaga ng puso na mahalin mo ang iyong nanay at tatay. Enough of that "toxic culture" BS.
@@Heavenbyyourside wag mo compare magulang nila. Kunga busado magulang bi caloy naging sugarol at di na yan sila nagwork. Pero mahal nila mga anak nila nakita mo naman angkikinis ng balatt. Kung pinabayaan sila eh di ginutom na yan pero never mo narinig na gutom si caloy habang nagpapractice. Oo bungangera mama ni caloy ganun naman mga nanay tlaga unless foreigner ka na mother like princess diana. Pero kung asian ka tiger moms tau. Wag mag astang perfect mga nanay dito as if di nyo kinukuha napamaskuhan ng mga anak nyo..
This is the best interview unlike other😂.Anyway Ej is so smart .U deserve it as Ambassador or endorser.Ur really did well 💛
Ito yung interview sa isang athlete kasama ang treasure niya -- his mom. Yung kabila, ang kasama nung athlete eh treasure hunter. 🤣🤣🤣
SO PROUD OF YOU EJ OBIENA! YOU’RE FUN TO TALK TO, SMART, FAMILY ORIENTED AND FROM TONDO!!!!
Lalo akong humanga Kay EJ, God bless u
We can't wait for you EJ at LA - 2028 Summer Olympics here in California. We will support you all the way. Deep down in our heart you are the real winner that deserve world and national recognition as well like our other 2 - bronze medalists. Thank you very much for being such a good role model to our youth. You and your parents are such an inspiration to everyone. God bless you all.
Ang cute nilang mag ina. Watch how they have the same mannerisms with their hands. Almost sabay pa how they kinda lifted their knees with their intertwined hands. Ang sweet! At siempre, all our support and prayers to EJ. Sana Po may way na maka contribute ang ordinaryong tao sa pagsupporta sa mga atletang Pilipino.
Ej Obiena, made me fall in love to sports, to olympics, to pole vaulting. I love his mindset so much. Whatever path you choose, I'll understand it. You done so many things for the country. You're so amazing ❤
You are the GOLD EJ, stay healthy don’t push too hard!
Good son raise by good parents
Tama... Makita sayo ng anak mo i treasure nila yun at magiging mabuti cla in return
Ito dapat ang bigyan ng more support ng government kasi may advocacy sila Ej and Family.
I love EJ Obiena. Great interview! And I love his mom. As a mom I can feel her love for her son… she raised him well!
Very nice and tagos sa butong interview. Ramdam na ramdam ko c mother kc mother din ako... Go EJ we are so proud of you...
ito ang tunay na idol. soon youll have Gold Olympic medal. Hindi mababaw na athlete..Congrats mommy for raising a real champ who knows his purpose beyond athletics.
I really appreciates his humbleness.congrats EJ👏
At least si EJ naging challenge sa kanya yun hardship as athlete, lahat ng hirap mo kinailngan mong daanan para sa katayuan mo ngayon....
Deserved ang recognition.Mahusay na atleta,disiplinado,me breeding,me respeto sa magulang at sana suportahan ng gobyerno.Inspiring para sa kabataan.All praise sa mga magulang.
We wish and hope you will win gold in coming Los Angeles Olympic 2028. We will support you and pray for your gold success. Good luck 🍀👍.
Salute you EJ! congratulations!!!very professional and loving kids! your more than won a 2 gold medal… keep it up ang praying for your DREAMS CONE TRUE!
Ito ang dapat tularan ng ibang mga Nanay may positive mindset at ma kikita mo talaga si EJ very professional at good manners na bata,kaya congratulations EJ at buong family
Go EJ Obiena....we are proud of you....and thanks to your loving mom
Ej is mature,responsible,deep person and simple as you can see simple lng sya manamit pati mga magulang nya.Good conversationalist too.😍
The difference is EJ OBIENA is educated & raised by educated parents while Carlos has no good foundation in his education esp in younger years even if he studied in Japan it was not enough to hone his values! Sayang si Carlos esp now na napunta sa maling tao!!
Hindi Naman kailangan maging edukado Ang magulang, parents should be supportive, Carlos yulo parents are very different, I follow carlo yulo from behind to fame
@@cielobelarmino8161 ibig bang sabihin walang naiturong maganda kay Carlos mga magulang nya kaya naging ganito ang pagkatao sya
Ms bernadette can u comgratulate me to him and to his parents they raise a good son...di man Gold but he has a gold heart...ilove him as an athlete...❤❤❤
Kudos to his parents! 🥰 The way magsalita si EJO, talagang may puso sa lahat! 💛
Korek! Iba ang family nya, hindi toxic
EJ has a good family support and not toxic
Napaka bait na anak kahit 1M lang ang napanalunan binigay nya ito sa magulang nya. Hindi sya madamot kaya mas marami pang blessings ang ddating sa kanya.
@@misslady2614 Di ba he also donated money to Lydia de Vega? If you are not a self-centered person, you have no issues sharing your money, especially if your own family is not rich and needs financial help. Ang hirap kasi nauso ang word na toxic pero mali ang interpretation ng ayaw mag share ng grasya nila LOL.
Pag nagastos ni Nanay ang pera toxic sya. Kapag nag live in at ayaw ni Nanay sa gf toxic din sya. Lahat sa magulang toxic. So yun anak role model ng mga magulang na toxic.
Thanks so much of this interview with EJ and Mommy Jhanet. It's so heart warming to hear from mommy Janet that they were able to help young people to reach there bright and better future. So great full to what you are doing. May God bless always the Obiena Family!
As an athlete myself playing in a watersport outside the Philippines, EJ is my role model and the athlete that I look up to since he started his popilarity in the SEA Games.He is disciplined, well educated, and humble.Nakikita sa kanya how his parents raised him well.Mabuhay ka EJ and I hope you will bring more victories to our beloved country.❤🇵🇭
GOOD SON, GOOD PARENTS. NAGPALAKI NG TAMA, LUMAKI NG TAMA. YAN SI EJ OBIENA
ganyan dapat nag interview magulang ang ksama di tulad nun isa gf na bad influence ang nakabalandra...Kudos to EJ in reality ikaw ang Gold medalist maybe not in Olympics but with the love you showed with your family a good role model to the youth! 👏👏👏
Un nga bakit dun sa isa lagi kasama ang gf hahaha. C jowa ba ang nagluwal kay CY.
@@ErtugrulOttomanpara kay gold boy, ang pamilya nya ay yun gf hindi na yun iniwan nya sa Manila.
Grabe He is a Gold to the Pilipino people no need to win the Olympic sana lahat ng anak tulad nya.
Great job EJ Obiena !Lalo kang I Bless ni Lord at may respeto sa magulang.Hindi na silaw sa Money.... Gbu!
dapat ito ang pinanonood. more viewers pls. very insightful bilang magulang and anak. maraming gems ang interview na to
Hindi ko pa nabubuo ang story, super like ko na. Thumbs up
Yung ume-English pero may humility pa rin. Yung inaming nagkataliwas rin sila ng opinyon ng tatay niya at one point pero they were able to eventually reach a compromise in the end. EJ's journey is truly a success story. ❤️
He is a good son overall.. he deserve an interview bec he can carry the convo well. Unlike caloy cant even defend himself dapat me shadow pa kasama. When you are a good person with a good heart, you know how to position yourself.
EJ deserves all the support & recognition. more power & God bless, EJ!
You are good model for Filipino new generation. Goodluck for your next game. Win for medal! Kudos for EJ’s parents!
Ito ang tunay na ginto!
Good example na dapat pamarisan. Mabuting anak!❤
you both raised your child well.. naiyak naman ako sa inteview na ito. EJ you are blessed to have a very supporting parents and you all know how to give back,
He seems like a good person that needs to be supported in his dreams. He has humility, is respectful, and knows how to look back where he came from.
Ej is a good model in the youth he loves his parents
Ur greatest Olympic Medal is honoring ur parents❤ being greatful qnd humble let u shine in all aspect❤ just keep going,we all supports u❤we love ur heart and the whole u Handsome EJ😘😘💘

EJOblena is a good son. Humble and a good example to the youth.
Sa totoo lng nung mag grocery ako knina..nakita ko ung Milo, naalala ko si EJ kya napabili tlga ako dhl si EJ ang brand ambassador...😊
Proud Man of Tondo! Go EJ show them what you got.
I respect this man for honouring his parents.
Mr. & Mrs. Obiena you did a good job in raising EJ. EJ you’re blessed because you love & honor you parents, stay humble for many young people look up to you a role model to emulate.
Congratulations 👏👏. Tama lang bagay ka sa Milo maging commercial model ng Milo. Be humble always marami pang blessings ang darating.
To the parents of EJ: You have done a
Great job in raising a grateful child. To EJ: ur attitude is worth emulating❤
A very good role model
May respeto sa magulang.
When you listen to EJ, you can learn a lot of nuggets of wisdom. There are a lot of quotable quotes, inspirational words, etc. Ibang iba dun sa isa, very shallow ang answer.
Obiena is really a good role model to the Filipino. Well deserved to be an endorser of Milo and for more products. I’m sure a lot of young kids will follow his example.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏
The epitome of a very good son and an athlete and olympian. Just do what you want to do. Continue being a good son. Always pay it foward whenever possible. God bless you and your family.
A very good son to his Parents/family.God bless you more.
