The Sparkle star also said that he wanted to immortalize every moment he had with his son, adding that he kept the dried-up umbilical cord as well as the first nail clippings of his son. The actor also shared that it was his mom who named his son.

He explained further, "Xiao Long Bao 'yung tinawag sa kaniya ni Mama kasi 'Xiao,' small; 'Long,' Dragon; 'Bao' is Bao bei, treasure. Tawag namin sa kaniya minsan Bao Bao,” he said.

Benedict also described how much he loved his son even before he was born, "[I] already felt an insane amount of love towards him. I loved him even more from the moment he took his very first breath in this world,” he said.

He also confessed that he would sometimes just cry out of nowhere, then, joked that he's having postpartum moments.

“Sometimes, I would look at his hands and see my own hands in them. And dun ko na-realize na anak nga talaga kita and tatay na talaga ako."
