The singer hilariously described his younger self as just a "payat at madungis" 12-year-old and recalled how he ended up at Carmina’s school one afternoon because he tagged along with a classmate who was apparently trying to play it cool in front of her.

"Commercial model na siya nun and super heartthrob talaga siya. Ako naman, wala lang... isang payat at madungis lang na 12 year old," he began. "Naalala ko lang na super bait niya sa akin kahit sabit lang ako," Chito recalled, noting that even though she was a bit "boyish at mataray" back then, her kindness stood out.
