Parang pinabayaan, pinabayaan… bakit naman pinabayaan? May nag-comment pa na bakit naman pinabayaan ni Janno, pinabayaan ng pamilya. Of course not. People are so judging. They think they know you,” he said in an interview with Karen Davila.</p><p>Gibbs said he asked Valdez to live with him after his separation with his wife, and they were together until he died.</p><p>Valdez, who already got cured of prostate cancer, was having dififculty moving due to some form of compression in his spine.

So I cannot leave Bing alone now for a long time. I have to come kaagad. Ako rin, hindi niya rin pwedeng iwanan,” he admitted.</p><p>“Even though we weren’t in this condition, kahit na noong separate kami ng units, I never lost value for Bing. She’s always been a great woman. She’s always been a great wife. Kahit na hindi kami okay, she would take care of me pa rin,” Gibbs added.</p><div><strong>MESSAGE FOR HIS DAD</strong></div><p>If there’s anything he would miss, Gibbs said it would be spending time at breakfast with Valdez, since it’s the time when they can talk about things and enjoy each other’s company.</p><p>“This past year that we were together, our morning breakfast. That was our time together. Aside from eating, ‘yung kwentuhan, honest man-to-man talk,” he shared.</p><p>With his traumatic experience, Gibbs said that although he was “deeply sad” about it, he never felt guilty because he knew he took care of his father.</p><p>“Guilty, no, because I was taking care of him, I was with him everyday. So no guilt, no questions na what if I… what could have been. But deeply sad about it,” he said.</p><p>“Malagim na nga ‘yung nangyari, and then people added to it. The police, the netizens, the vloggers… put salt on our wounds,” he said.</p><p>When asked if he has a message for his father, Gibbs expressed his hope that his father is in a better place now.</p><p>“I know he’s listening, so I’d like to say I hope you’re in a better place, no pain, and thank you for loving me,” he said.</p><p>“He knows he was loved. Not just by me, by his co-actors. Si Kathryn (Bernardo) loves him so much. They love each other very much. His grandkids love him very much. Because nga he’s not the typical father. He was very sweet, for a guy,” Gibbs added.</p><div><strong>Watch Gibbs’ full interview with Davila below.</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315"
