“Sobrang loyal ko dito. Minsan nga tinatanong ako ng ibang fans, 'Gusto mo bang lumipat?' Sabi ko, 'dito na ako eh.'

"Dito na ako, kumbaga kung bata dito na ako lumaki sa GMA. 'tsaka 'yung mga tao dito sobrang family na turing ko sa kanila. So sabi ko hindi ko naiisip 'yan, dito ako sa GMA. Loyal ako dito,” he reiterated.
