While the finale of PinoyDreamAcademy Season 2 meant a new beginning for winner Laarni Lozada, it also marked an ending of sorts for host Billy Crawford. Now that PDA is over, will he be bidding the Philippines goodbye? ABS-CBN.com caught up with the international performer backstage right after the PDA finale to ask him about his plans.

“I’m leaving October 25, after that I’m coming back, then I’m leaving again. My album is done that’s why I’m leaving. I’ll be promoting it and be taking care of my work on the other side of the world. First I’ll be going to France, then London, Belgium, Germany, then back to the States,” shared the 26-year-old singer-dancer. Billy is a well-known recording artist in Europe having released chart-topping singles in France, Germany, and Belgium, among others.

But Billy said that he will always find time to come back and perform for Filipino audiences. “I’m not leaving like forever. I’ll be coming back. I’ll always keep it touch with the people who supported me.” Could fellow PDA host Nikki Gil be one of the people he will keep in close contact with? Rumor has it that a romance has been brewing between the two. Although Billy and Nikki have admitted that they do go out from time to time, either just the two of them or with friends, they said that they are just merely getting to know one another and enjoying each other’s company.

Billy expressed his deep thanks to everyone who watched and supported him every afternoon on Uberture. The three months he spent hosting the show is an experience that this international Kapamilya will treasure wherever his talents will take him. “The experience taught me how to be free, to just be myself. I was given the opportunity to just enjoy what I do. Salamat po sa lahat ng nanood, mami-miss ko kayong lahat.”

When asked if he would like to host PDA Season 3, Billy replied, “If God gives me the opportunity to host again, why not? If they still like my kakulitan, ‘Anu nanyanyari dito?!’ (laughs) It will be great!”
