“Many were saying that I’m into drugs, na nag-te-take ako ng illegal drugs na alam naman natin kung ano yun. Umabot sa puntong ganun na masakit sa akin pero hindi ko na lang sinasagot dahil hahaba lang din yung opinyon nila.”
He further shared based on the report, “Appreciate what you have because even if you know that it’s yours throughout your life, you’ll never know its value until it has been taken from you tulad ng basketball sa akin. I’m thankful there are still many who give their love and support to me.”
