“Pangarap ko po talaga dancer dati po. Talent ko po ‘yan eh, magpatawa, sumayaw,” he said.

Asenjo added that he got used to the teasing of other people and learned to just ignore it.

He also has a message to the people who has the same condition as him.

“Huwag po silang panghinaan ng loob. Katulad ko po, hindi po ako pinanghihinaan ng loob kasi maliit na nga po tayo kailangan parang malaki rin po tayo,” he said.

As of press writing, Asenjo’s video has been reposted by several Facebook pages garnering millions of views online.
