Aga Mulach revealed the monthly school allowance being received by his children, Atasha and Andres Mulach.
In an interview with Vice Ganda on February 4, 2024, Aga debunked the impression that his children were receiving big allowance while studying abroad for college.
According to Aga, Atasha and Andres were wise when spending their allowance, making him a proud father.
He also taught his children to be disciplined when it comes to their monthly budget.
“Akala ng iba, iniisip nila they’re rich kids, spoiled kids. No, no, no, no. Yung baon nila, kunyari yung lalaki ko, pag nagka-inuman silang college students, ganyan. Kung anong ginastos niyo roon at naubos niya yung ano niya, kunyari may ganito siyang amount na ito, wala siyang kakainin. Hindi siya puwede tumawag sa akin,” he said.
Aga disclosed that Atasha and Andres only received 400-600 euros a month, equivalent to 24,000 to 36,000 pesos.
While the said amount could buy many things in the Philippines, Aga explained that it was a different scenario abroad.
“Kasi kung dito mo gagamitin yung PHP36,000, malaki yun. Sa Pilipinas, ha. Pero kung sa ibang bansa mo gagamitin, ang liit nung 36,000 ha. Kasi iba yung value ng pera doon. Iba din yung cost of living,” he said.
“Maliit yun. So, alam namin. Yung food niyo, makibagay kayo diyan. Or matuto kayo gumawa ng paraan kung paano kayo gagawa ng pera diyan,” he added.
