"Growing up kasi close family talaga kami. To see my dad, ang pangarap niya kapag kausap ko sila ang sinasabi niya, 'Son, I'm just holding on para makilala ko lang 'yung anak niyo.' Matanda na ang daddy ko and maraming complications. Pero marami akong matutunan at marami akong maituturo sa aming anak [ni Coleen] dahil sa ama ko. And I owe a lot to my dad," Billy shared.
