At unti-unti kong napupulot ulit — oo nga pala ‘yun nga pala ako. So ang sarap lang. …Ngayon parang sabi ko nga kanina new perspective on life,” Padilla said.

Asked of what he exactly meant by new life, Padilla replied: “Bagong pirma, new projects, gagawin natin ‘yan. Pero beside sa show business, mas malaki ang buhay ko. Meeting people, ang dami ko lang natutunan sa kanila ngayon. At saka ang sarap din muna bumitaw, alam mo ‘yon? Pero siyempre ‘yung mga kailangan kong gawin dito sa industriya ay gagawin ko naman.”

Padilla said he is just excited for all the things that will happen.
