So my grandma has cancer right now,” he said.Xian said he wanted to make the video to remind his fans and followers not to take time for granted. “I don’t know why I’m making this video. I guess it’s more for people to take a moment and enjoy the moments you have with family and friends. If you have a moment of your time right now, just stop and go with your mom, your dad, your grandpa, your lola and just say ‘I love you’ to them. Enjoy them while they’re still around,” he said.“She’s still around, malakas pa naman siya,” he continued, referring to his grandma. “It’s just that may mga uncertainties in life and there [are] moments na hindi talaga natin nakokontrol. So don’t take time for granted and love your parents. Love your grandparents. All the money, the world, all the things that you have, wala ‘yang laban sa time. So, just please, reach out to your family now and give them a hug and say ‘I love you.’”In a separate post, Xian shared photos and a clip of his grandmother with their family, with the caption, “Get well soon, mama.” <div> </div><blockquote data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CERQsOAJdof/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CERQsOAJdof/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">View this post on Instagram</a> <div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CERQsOAJdof/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">❤️ Get well soon mama...(just to clarify, hindi ko po lolo yung nasa tabi ni lola, nasa bubong po lolo ko kasama mga pusa.
