Former EB Babe member Lian Paz happily shared the academic achievements of her daughters with Paolo Contis, Xalene, and Xonia.
On May 31, 2023, Lian couldn’t hide her happiness after Xalene and Xonia gained the highest honors in their school.
Lian’s current partner John Cabahug also attended the recognition.
Meanwhile, netizens criticized Paolo for being absent from the said event.
Lian then told her followers that Xalene and Xonia already wanted to change their surname because of Paolo’s absence in their life.
“Asking na nga po ang mga bata to have it changed,” Lian revealed.
Netizens agreed that Xalene and Xonia should change their surname.
They believed that the two deserved to carry the surname Cabahug.
“Tama lang na palitan kung yun ang kagustuhan ng anak. Nakakahiya kc sa tatay na feeling binata padin,” netizen Anjelyn said.
“John deserves his last name to be used by these kids. He raised them as his own,” netizen Dee remarked.
It can be remembered that Paolo and Lian separated in 2012 and the former dancer claimed that the actor didn’t send any child support to her since then.
Paolo also admitted that he’s not supporting his children, but claimed that he’s saving for them for the future.
“It’s a mistake na nasimulan ko ever since before na hindi ako nakapagbigay,” ayon sa aktor
“But ever since na nagtrabaho ako ng maayos, unti-unti akong naglalagay ng account para kay Xonia, kay Xylene, pati kay Summer.” dagdag pa niya.
As of writing, Paolo has yet to give a response to the decision of his daughters to remove his surname.
