"Actually meron kaming similarities ni Makoy na parang gusto ko mapasaya kayong lahat, gusto ko maibigay yung nararapat para sa inyo, gawin ang trabaho ko. I mean si Makoy ganun din siya ang sa kanya lang too much yung pag gawa niya. Kaya mahal na mahal ko si Makoy," he said.

(Actually, me and makoy have similarities in a way that I want everyone to be happy and give everyone what they deserve by doing my job. I mean Makoy is the same but he gives way too much, that's why I love Makoy so much)
