Gusto ko yung legislative process. Gusto ko mapag-aralan how to preside over a meeting, how to come up with laws, ordinances, resolution. Ngayon nagagamit ko rin yan sa mga trabaho ko, like when I did my teleserye here [in ABS-CBN]. I was a governor, I would preside over a meeting. Nagagamit ko rin siya, natututo rin ako.”On a lighter note, he shared that his favorite leading ladies are, “Nora (Aunor), Vilma (Santos), and (his wife) Sandy.” Asked to choose between lights off or on, he chose, “in between. I want to see.” When choosing between sex and chocolates, he chose, “sex.” And for him the best time for sex is at, “midnight.”
