He then explained how that experience, which many would consider humiliating, became a driving force for self-improvement and exploration:

"Ginamit ko yun as motivation para makapaglibot sa mundo. Not to prove myself to everyone but to prove myself na kaya kong gawing motivation and stepping stone lahat ng mga hindi magagandang pangyayari sa aking buhay. To become the best version ng aking pagkatao."

Xian also lightened the mood with a series of witty remarks reflecting on his growth and observations over time:

"Kung naaalala mo pa 'to, ibig sabihin, matanda ka na."

"Napakabilis ng 9 years ano."

"I realized na cute pala ako paminsan."

"Napansin ko lang today."

While known for his bold and sometimes controversial online presence, Xian’s latest reflections show how past criticisms can be transformed into motivation and personal development.

By turning public ridicule into a stepping stone for self-growth, Xian’s story is a reminder of resilience and the power of turning challenges into opportunities.

He emphasized that rushing into relationships or starting a family due to pressure can lead to long-term unhappiness. Xian encouraged young people to focus on self-growth, stay single to better understand themselves, and trust that the right partner will come at the right time.

Earlier, Xian slammed the DTI’s P500 Noche Buena budget as unrealistic, pointing out that many Filipino households would find it insufficient to cover basic holiday needs.
