What prompted the change in lifestyle?
Billy began to take his health seriously when he saw his father’s deteriorate because of cigarettes and alcohol.
“This is really for health purposes because gusto ko magkaroon ng pamilya in the future. When God gave me Coleen (Garcia, his wife), I was born again.

Speaking of Coleen, Billy didn’t miss the chance to commend her for being patient with him.
“In fairness to her naman, she never forbids me to do anything. You know, throughout the whole process, hindi naging madali eh. May mga times na iritado ako, pikon ako at gutom. That happened for six months and I know that it’s really painful for Coleen,” he said. “Coleen was not a patient woman until that moment. She adjusted for me and became super patient.”
