“Si Noy ayaw niya talaga na maging pabigat siya, ayaw niya na kami na nag-aalala at ayaw niya na hindi kami nakakatulog ng dahil sa pag-iisip sa kanya,” she added while holding back her tears.
Ballsy said that PNoy was the one chosen by God to continue their parents’ legacy.
“Si Noy ay pinili ng ating mahal na Ama na mauna sa aming lahat na makapiling uli ang aming mga magulang dahil siya ang nagpatuloy ng kanilang mga hindi natapos,” she said.
