Bimby Aquino, son of actress-host Kris Aquino, recently shared his plans to pursue legal management in college, while acknowledging that a future in politics is also on the table.
In an interview with Ogie Diaz and his daughter Erin, the 18-year-old said he is drawn to studying law because of its wide range of applications.
“Legal management. Magiging lawyer na ako. Imagine mo, Atty. Bimb. Diverse eh. Let’s be honest, sa business, sa politics, show biz also,” Bimby said.
When asked whether he is considering a political career, given the Aquino family’s strong ties to public service, Bimby said it remains a possibility.
“It’s always an option kasi sabi ni lola, my mom said, ‘everyone in the family who entered politics, it is a calling.’ It’s not an easy job but it’s a job that can help so many people,” he explained.
He also reflected on the challenges of entering the political arena, particularly in forming authentic relationships.
“Alam mo naman sa politika. Hindi naman toxic but more of you have to be careful talaga. There’s a saying diba, ‘there’s no permanent friend in politics’ where the wind blows, diba? That’s the sad truth, that’s why if you go into politics, always remember that it’s rare that you get a real friend,” Bimby noted.
Earlier this year, Kris Aquino mentioned that Bimby might explore show business to help support her medical expenses as she continues her treatment for autoimmune diseases.
