Jin even demonstrated some of the things he did as Stretch Therapist to Tito Boy.“Ang gusto ko lang po talaga is to bring my mom here for good,” he said, revealing that his mom is a caregiver in America and he wants nothing but to have her here permanently. Unfortunately, his mom wasn’t able to watch the Grand Finals live since she had to go back to her job but she had the chance to visit and to see his journey in BidaMan. “’Yun ‘yung naging push ko at motivation to give it my all,” he shared, saying that his mom is also one of the reasons why he wanted to win the competition. After the Bidaman Grand Finals, his mom surprised him and flew back to the Philippines to be with him. “I am the man that I am today because of my mom,” he said.Jin also played <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/tonightwithboyabunda" target="_blank">TWBA</a><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/tonightwithboyabunda" target="_blank">’</a>s Fast Talk.
