But despite this, he has always looked at his life positively. Growing up, he never felt that he was someone who had special needs, and among the biggest reasons behind this perspective were his parents, who never made him feel a certain way.

“They enforced positivity na dahil dito unique ako. As a kid, inisip ko po siya na Ā super power ko siya. Superpowers are what make superheroes unique, that what makes them superheroes and not normal people,” heĀ said.

Despite his ability, he became a good listener. It has become his habit to always listen intently to hear clearly. His father, Neil Arce, has watched this episode, and in an Instagram post, he expressed just how proud he is of her son.

He wrote:

From an accident to a blessing
From having special needs to having super powers
From inspiring me to inspiring millions
Can’t ask for a better son. Love you Child!
