It came from Antonio, my lolo's name. My dad says Antonello is the fifth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Jamaican patties!
F: What are the dynamics between you and your non-showbiz friends?
They're very supportive of what I'm doing and they understand why I'm always busy, but they're guys, so of course they tease me about being an artista.

I think I'm more of the "cool buddy" type than the "protective kuya" type, but if he gets into trouble, I know I'd come to the rescue.

Not yet, and I'm not looking forward to it!
I: Who's the person you say "I love you" to the most?
My parents. I tell them everyday.
J: Tell us your favorite joke. A Filipino and an American are riding an elevator. It stops on a floor, the doors open, and another Filipino asks, "Bababa ba?" The first Filipino answers, "Bababa." The confused American looks at them and asks, "Did you just have a real conversation?"
K: What's your kryptonite?
Fast food! I try to watch what I eat, but I really can't resist unhealthy food. I eat whatever I want - I'm growing boy!

Never forget to flush the toilet before leaving the bathroom! And despite everything, always stay humble.

Having great friends, going to parties, and constantly learning new things.

W: As a kid, what was your weirdest habit?
When I was five, I couldn't fall asleep without rubbing the tip of my cloth diaper while drinking milk from my bottle!

Yes, because there's no reason for two people who were once in love to not be able to forgive each other. I don'tĀ think you can ever completely forget, though.
