In the comedy flick, Billy plays the role of Maricel Soriano's son and the fiancé to Andi Eigenmann's character.</div><div><br/></div><div>During the making of the film, talks were ripe that Andi was the cause of Billy's recent breakup with longtime girlfriend Nikki Gil. The 31-year-old actor put the issue to rest during the grand presscon for <i>Momzillas</i> held last September 3 at the Dolphy theater inside ABS-CBN. “Andi became a friend of mine through the film as well. We became close, that's really true and it wasn't Andi's fault<i> kaya</i> I really apologized to Andi<i> kasi nadadamay siya sa</i> personal life <i>ko</i>. And that's<i> bilang respeto ko rin sa lahat ng kasamahan ko dito</i>. I don't mean harm to anyone or for anyone. <i>Pero sa totoo lang, kaya ayaw ko masyado magsalita kasi </i>they already made up their minds and <i>hahaba at hahaba pa yan</i> so I already closed the chapter, closed the book and I'm ready to move on and it's a blessing to be with the people here and that's all I've got to say,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The <i>Momzillas</i> actor said he and Andi became even better friends while working on the set together.  “I already met Andi before when she was doing <i>Agua Bendita</i> with Matteo Guidicelli<i> nung nag-a</i>-<i>ASAP pa siya</i> and of course<i> sa lahat naman dito</i>, we all get to know each other more and more everyday so<i> dun nag</i>-develop<i> yung </i>chemistry <i>namin ni</i> Andi a<i>t pag pinapagalitan din kami ni Direk</i> (laughs) <i>na kailangan mag-usap kaming dalawa.</i> And we had to get to know each other regardless for the movie anyway. <i>Napakabait at kawawa nga siya kasi na</i>-food poisoning <i>yan pero andito pa rin siya ngayon kahit may sakit siya</i>,” he admitted during the presscon.</div><div><br/></div><div>Billy said he has accepted the fact that people have come to think the worst of him after the breakup. “<i>Nakakahiya lang sa mga kasamahan ko kasi </i>when all the news came out, <i>naging bading ako, naging adik ako, na</i>-link <i>ako sa tatlong babae, yun isa buntis daw sabi. Ang masasabi ko lang</i>, people have already made their decision, whatever or whoever they are, and they will speculate <i>kahit anong mangyari kasi talagang </i>open book<i> lahat ng buhay namin,</i>” he shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>When it comes to working with Maricel Soriano, Billy said he already considers her as family and even refers to the Diamond Star as “mama.” Despite their closeness, Billy said they did not discuss matters like his breakup. “<i>Alam mo kami ni</i> mama, on and off set <i>lahat yata pinag-uusapan namin</i>. And actually<i> kinakausap ko si </i>mama <i>hanggang alas-kuwatro ng umaga kasi pareho kaming hindi makatulog</i> and I think for that aspect<i> hindi ako nag</i>-elaborate <i>kung anong nangyari kasi </i>that's a personal decision for my life <i>at saka hindi na niya ako tinanong. Nirespeto ko</i> even more<i> lahat ng kasama ko dito kasi</i> they really treated me like their family for the months that we've been working with each other. <i>Kaya</i> on and off cam, <i>kahit nung hindi na kami nagtratrabaho, nag-uusap usap pa rin kami kaya kahit anong mangyari,</i> I'm here for them and I know they're here for me,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The talented singer-actor also said he is thankful that working with the cast of <i>Momzillas</i> has been a painless process. Aside from Maricel Soriano and Andi Eigenmann, the movie also stars Eugene Domingo, Candy Pangilinan, and Joey Paras. “<i>Alam niyo</i> first time actually <i>na makatrabho ko mga tao na</i> never <i>nagkaroon ng</i> issue. From day one<i> na nag</i>-meet. First time <i>ko rin makatrabaho si </i>Miss Eugene <i>at </i>Miss Maria. <i>Si direk</i> Wenn (Deramas) actually<i> yung</i> <i>pinaka</i>-close<i> ko dito sa lahat</i> and it's such a blessing to walk in s<i>a trabaho at sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam. Lahat naman dito</i> I'm sure <i>may pinagdadaanan</i> and<i> lahat naman tayo may pinagdadaanan sa buhay. Pero pagdating namin sa isa't isa, wala kaming pinag-uusapang</i> problem. <i>Kaya dun ako</i> blessed, that I actually met these people for a reason<i> kaya sobrang </i>happy <i>ako </i>and I would love to work with them again if given the opportunity,” he admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>Watch Star Cinema's newest 20th anniversary offering <i>Momzillas</i> starting September 18, Wednesday in theaters nationwide.
