“Sa akin important because para lang to avoid confusion. When I told her na we wanted to be her legal [guardians] parang siya, ‘Finally I can call you daddy’ parang yun na importante sa akin. Everything else is just for formalities pero yun talaga yung goal ko, I just want her to be ours. She’s such a good ate kay Miggy pati kay Cash,” Chito shared.

The singer-songwriter mentioned that their “Ate P” is a blessing to them and he can’t wait for his daughter to carry his surname.

“We consider her as a gift from God, from heaven kasi lagi namin sinasabi na some children are born of you, galing [sila] sa’yo, and sometimes God chooses the parents for them and I think that’s the role that we’re playing, we consider her as a gift and she’ll be legally ours soon,” he added.

Both of them noted that Pia has been their daughter ever since they met her. She was never different from her two siblings, Miggy and Cash, who have treated her as their older sister.

“She’s such a blessing talaga kasi makikita mo na alagang alaga niya si Miggy and si Miggy also mahal na mahal siya… Since day one name she’s [been] our daughter,” they shared.
