Diego previously said that he was working hard to his daughter the best birthday celebration.

During a press conference for his movie with Coleen Garcia titled Isang Gabi, Diego mentioned his daughter was his motivation to work hard and enter some new projects and businesses.

He said, "In the first week of May, I'm doing... I have five back-to-back rakets just to afford her birthday party."

The actor clarified it was for additional expenses as he already had enough money for the party. As a parent, he just wanted to make sure their financial budget would remain stable because he realized it was as expensive as holding a debut party.

Diego also related how much he learned about parenting when Hailey came to his life. Thus, he promised he would never be an absent father to Hailey and would continue to support and give love to his daughter.

He said, "I just wanna be a very present father and as much possible, everywhere I go, kasama siya."
