In a recent interview, Awra stated the reason why he decided to buy a van over other any types of cars. “Super laki po siyang tulong sa family ko, kaya naisip kong van na lang kaysa kotse kasi madami kami, para magamit namin out of town, sa province namin, tsaka kapag nagswi-swimming kami,” he said.
Awra also shared that his parents were really happy with his surprise gift to them.
“Happy sila kasi hindi rin nila akalain na sa murang edad ko makakapundar ako ng sasakyan na sa akin talaga and makakapundar din ako ng bahay at lupa kaya happy sila super. And thankful ako kay God kasi binigyan ako”
Awra and his family have been very wise when it comes to spending his earnings that’s why he was able to invest in a vehicle.

This teen actor must be an inspiration to other young people at his age to value what you have and take good care of what you earn.
