He had to find a job there to support them when they migrated.
Ruby said she kept this plan a secret.
He said, "I kept quiet. It's my private life. This is private.
"I was quiet about it because you don't know what will happen, okay. That's why I kept quiet.
"If it is pushed through, they will know. If it doesn't push through, no harm done. Image intact.”
He also said that he did not inform his co-workers at Eat Bulaga!, except for his best friend, Pauleen Luna.
"They didn't know. They didn't know," Ruby emphasized.
"The only person who knew what I was doing that's in this business was Pauleen Luna because she's my best friend.
"And I know she'll keep quiet about it."
Although Pauleen was sad, she did not stop Ruby from what she was doing for her son.
