He said of Sherwin, “Simula nun tumayo na siyang parang kapatid sa akin. Itong taong ‘to ay sobrang dami ng natulungan mapa pamilya niya at sa industriya. Alam kong maraming nagmamahal sa kanya at malalapagsan niya lahat ng ito. Pero mas madali niyang mahaharap ang pagsubok na ito pag may kasama siya.</p><p>“Kaya naisip ko magparaffle ng mga gamit ko.
