Castoff Kiko apologizes to Rob; admits he has a son

Sunday, November 16, 2008

Tenth Survivor Philippines castoff Kiko Rustia on Sunday faced GMA-7’s Showbiz Central’s Central Jury and spilled the beans that he is a single father.

He first apologized to castaway Rob Sy, his former Naak tribe mate. Rob received from Kiko a black pearl. It means Rob is cursed.

“First and foremost kasi maraming nagsasabi na hindi naman si Rob ang traydor. So ako naman nagduda ako… I apologize," Kiko said during the interview.

Before leaving the Tribal Council area, Survivor Philippines host Paolo Bediones asked Kiko to open a small treasure box that has been on Paolo's side since the first Tribal Council.

The box contained a black pearl that Kiko could give to one of the remaining castaways.

The black pearl will serve as a curse to whoever holds it, and the holder will automatically get an extra vote in the next Tribal Council.

Kiko then dished out the black pearl to Rob, believing that the latter betrayed him. Rob, on the other hand, could only look at Kiko with shock and surprise.

Aside from the apology, Kiko, who was considered as one of the toughest contenders, said he harbored no grudge against his tribe mates when he left the reality show.

He likewise said that he already had a feeling he would be booted out of show earlier than he expected.

“The way I played the game malamang naman talaga matatanggal ako nang maaga. And I didn’t care because I didn't want to compromise," he said.

“Mas kinakabahan pa nga ako nung nagkakabilangan pero nung nabanggit na yung name ko parang nagkaroon na ng sense of calm," Kiko added.

Then Kiko made the most shocking disclosure. He opted to answer the killer question, which asked if he has a son.

“I do have a son," proud dad Kiko disclosed. “And I love him very much and he’s the coolest kid. Siya ang kakampi ko. He is nine."

And as for the girls going gaga over him, the hunk castoff gave an advice: “If the girls would love me, they have to love my son."
