Rocco Nacino stresses the importance of listening to your elders

24 Feb – Rocco Nacino recently revealed that he has his parents to thank for when it comes to his life decisions, including the decision to finish his studies before focusing on showbiz.

As reported on Manila Bulletin, the "Descendants of the Sun" star, who spoke to students during a journalism seminar at the University of Santo Tomas, stated that a lot of young people do not realise the importance of having the advice of the older generation in their life.

"It's good to have someone in your life who has authority, that you can be afraid of, someone to respect, trust, and follow," he said.

Nacino stated that his parents wanted him to finish college first back when he was a teenager, when there were many showbiz offers coming his way. Thus, he went on and finished his Masters of Science in Nursing.

"I wouldn't be talking to you in this manner with this kind of confidence, were it not for my parents who encouraged me to study," he added.

Asked what he considers his greatest blessing, he said, "To be able to realise my parents' dream for me to graduate college. I knew I made my parents proud."
