Kasi magre-regular school na po siya, para maka-focus siya sa studies niya.&quot; </p><p>The primetime series said goodbye to Pineda, who quickly became a fan favorite portraying the stubborn yet adorable Onyok, last May. The canon story was that Onyok&#x27;s real mother took him back. </p><p>The suddenness of the decision to write off Onyok led to speculations, some saying that the show&#x27;s crew and Xymon&#x27;s mother had a falling out because of &quot;attitude&quot; problems. </p><p>In the same interview with Pep, Nulos dismissed this by saying that her son parted with &quot;Ang Probinsyano&quot; in good terms. </p><p>&quot;Nagpaalam naman po kami nang maayos sa mga boss at kina kuya Coco [Martin],&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;Siguro doon sa mga nang-iintriga, may mga tao po kasi na siguro ay hindi kami kilala.

Si Coco na nga din po ang nagsabi na nagpaalam kami ng maayos, at hindi po kami basta na lang umalis.&quot; </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/07/06/17/coco-explains-why-onyok-left-probinsyano">READ: Coco explains why Onyok left &#x27;Probinsyano&#x27;</a></li></ul><p>But Nulos did admit to feeling a tinge of regret from her decision to pull her son from the serye. </p><p>&quot;Opo, kasi malaki ang naitulong ng show na ito sa amin, sa lahat, sa bata.
