Mark Leviste proud of Bimby's love for Kris Aquino

MANILA, Philippines — Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste was all praises to Kris Aquino’s son Bimby after Bimby decided to stay in Los Angeles for his mom.

In an interview with the media during the BarakoFest 2024 yesterday, Mark said he admires Bimby for his love for Kris. 

“He decided to stay in Los Angeles with Kris,” Mark said.  

“There are plans for him to explore show business. Alam mo si Bimb talagang hahanga ka sa bata, he's way ahead of his time, even if he's barely 17. He’s turning 17 in April. But he thinks, he acts, and he cares and loves his mom like a bona fide adult.
