Siguro ‘yung </i>impression <i>sa kanya na mabait siya na tao, ‘yun talaga ang naiiwan niya</i> [<i>na</i> legacy]. He is thoughtful, he&#x27;s kind, ayon as a son 18 years of his life, he&#x27;s always smiling, bubbly, <i>makuwento, magalang,</i> and that&#x27;s what I miss about him,” he said</div><div><br/></div><div>On the biggest lesson that he learned from AJ, Tito Gerry shared, “He would always say, ‘Dad live the moment, enjoy life, i-enjoy mo.’ You&#x27;ll never know when it is going to end.
