"The babies had to stay at NICU [neonatal intensive care unit] in Makati Med for 50 days, so it was very stressful, it was very intense going to Makati Med every single day to bring milk… It was very intense, but of course, as parents, you do whatever it takes for kids to be healthy, to be good, so now, thank God, they’re home. They’re strong, they’re beautiful. Maya is 5 kilos already, Luna is 4 kilos, they’re growing stronger." Fabio said.

He narrated, "At night, it’s a little magulo kasi they don’t have the same times so minsan when one baby’s awake, the other baby’s sleeping. Tapos, when you finally put the baby that was awake to sleep, the other one wakes up, so medyo magulo 'yung time nila, pero it’s okay. We’re just enjoying parenthood... It’s just so nice to see them like being home with us so we can take good care of them and, you know, see them grow beautifully, and yeah, it’s been like the best present for this Christmas so far this year."

"My parents just came from Brazil to visit them as well. So, I think for Christmas, we’re just gonna stay here in Manila and maybe go Batangas, something like those. But then hopefully next year, we can bring the kids to Brazil and then the whole family can see them," he answered.
