"Nademonyo ako. Natukso, bumigay ako. Nangyari ’yon noong 2023 o 2024. Walang ibang reason yn. Nademonyo ako. Yun lang. Hindi ka mag-away ng asawa ko. Inamin kong mali yung ginawa ko. (I was demonized. I was tempted, and I gave in. It happened in 2023 or 2024. There was no other reason. I was demonized. That's all. I didn't fight with my wife. I admitted what I did was wrong.)
"Noong nangyari ito, unti-unti na akong nagbabago. Alam ng wife ko na nagbabago na ako sa kanya, pero hindi ko pa kayang aminin sa kanya kasi natatakot akong mawala siya. Pagsisisihan ko na lang sa sarili ko. Magbabago na lang ako. (When this happened, I was slowly changing. My wife knew I was changing for her, but I couldn't admit it to her because I was afraid of losing her. I would just feel sorry for myself. I would just change.)"
"Pero last year, may nagsasabi na meron na raw sa Telegram. So sabi ko, wala na akong lusot at darating na talaga ito. Dinedelay ko lang kasi ayokong masira ako sa pamilya ko. (But last year, someone said that there was already one on Telegram. I said I have no way out, and it's definitely coming. I'm just delaying it because I don't want to ruin my family)," Nikko said.
Nikko added, "Tinanong pa niya ako at pinipilit ko pa rin na magsinungaling sa kanya. Kasi ayoko ngang maghiwalay kami. Kaso nga, napanood na niya. Nag-iyakan na lang kami. (She asked me more, and I still tried to lie to her. Because I didn't want us to break up. But she already watched it. We just cried.)"

He revealed that he was praying that the sex video would not leak and vowed to change for the better. "Pero lumabas pa rin. Kailangan ko talagang pagdaanan ito. (But it still came out. I really need to get through this.)"
Nikko recalled, "Natutulog kami; hindi niya alam na nagsasabi ako ng 'I love you'. Noong madaling-araw, nakita niya at nagsisigaw siya. Wala na akong magawa. Hindi ako makaiyak. Nasa isip ko, wala na. Huling pagsasama na namin. Alam ko namang darating ito. (We were sleeping; she didn't know I was saying 'I love you'. At dawn, she saw it, and she screamed. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't cry. In my mind, it was over. This was our last time together. I knew it was coming.)"
"Hindi niya ako sinampal. Walang tigil ang iyak niya. Nakaramdam siya ng awa sa akin, Doon na ako nag-breakdown. Nakokonsensya na ako. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hihiwalayan mo ako ngayon, hindi kita pipigilan. (She didn't slap me. She cried. She felt sorry for me, and that's when I broke down. I felt guilty. I told her, if you break up with me now, I won't stop you)," he said.
But another factor affecting him was his son confronting him. Nikko said his son asked him, "Dad, walang ginagawang masama sayo si Mommy. Bakit mo nagawa 'yon? (Dad, Mommy isn't doing anything bad to you. Why did you do that?)"
Then Nikko said his son texted him, "Dad, I love you. I know God will forgive you." Watch the full interview:
