“Happy siya dahil nakalipat na siya sa regular room! Isa-isa na tinatanggal yung mga tubes na nakakabit sa katawan niya.  Excited parang bata, nag-gigitara habang papunta sa regular room! Konti nalang at makakalabas na rin siya ng hospital!  May cancer pa rin siya, so tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang laban para makasama na namin siya on the stage soon! Laban pa Gab! Kayang-kaya yan! God is indeed Good,” the official Facebook account of the band stated.

Chito previously auctioned off some of the items that were from his past music videos such as the custom made school uniform he wore in the “Bagsakan” music video. He has raised a total of ₱235,000 from his auction alone which he will give to his bandmate.

“Salamat kay Boss Toyo ng Pinoy Pawnstars 🤟🏼😊 Sya yung nakakuha ng polo na ginamit ko sa music video ng ‘Bagsakan’, and yung puppets na ginamit namin sa album cover ng Halina sa Parokya,” Chito said.
