When I need someone to talk to, she's always there, she's a great listener, she's a great person to ask advice for. At saka ang bilis niya pong makapag-lighten ng mood pagdating sa akin. So I'm really just a grateful to have a friend like her," Espanto said.

Espanto's guest appearance on "Magandang Buhay" was also a celebration of his birthday. He turned 22 on May 24.
"I'm excited to experience new things in life. Siyempre you can never stop learning as well. So I just want to see where life takes me at 22," Espanto shared.

Espanto was also surprised when his colleagues and close friends Edward Barber, Shanaia Gomez, and Angela Ken personally greeted him on "Magandang Buhay."
Among the other surprise guests was Jona, to whom he became closer while doing concerts. They're also co-performers on "ASAP Natin 'To."
