"[I’m] very thankful to everyone [who] got me as an ambassador for GMA Excellence Award. It's something na I was aware of [mula] nang nagsimula ang career ko sa GMA. It was something na I followed and [got] interested [in because of] the [people] and connection they have with schools," he said in an interview with GMANetwork.com.

The GMA executive also praised the actor-TV host for being able to relate with the younger generation when he recently shared his educational experience with the interactive students of the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Cavite.
