September is just around the corner, so here come the Jose Mari Chan memes!

On “24 Oras” Tuesday, Chan said he was flattered with the memes featuring him that circulate once the -ber months start rolling in.

“I’m flattered, I’m complimented, and I feel rewarded that after 30 years, the song that I wrote ‘Christmas In Our Hearts’ is still loved and sung by people year after year,” the singer said.

“They reuse the same picture so in a sense, in those memes, I’m forever young,” he joked.
