MANILA -- Singer Gary Valenciano appealed to the public to give the space that Billy Crawford needs after his controversial separation with Nikki Gil.
"Sana 'yung mga taong pumapaligid sa kanya, 'yung mga taong kino-consider niya as kapamilya, yung tunay na kapamilya talaga, I hope that kasali na rin ako doon. I hope we can all help and really give him the space that he needs, give him a chance and kung ano man ang binanggit niya sa 'The Buzz,' let's give him that chance to find himself. And then let him be. Because when he comes back naniniwala ako na he will be refined in every aspect of his life,” Valenciano told reporters in a recent interview.
Valenciano shared he had the chance to talked to Gil and Crawford before the latter's interview on "The Buzz." After all that happened, he said that he will always be there to listen to his friends.
"They are very close to me. Napanuod ko nang konti 'yung sinabi ni Billy and I'm really, really concerned about that young man. But I respect that they both know, parang nag-mature na rin sila and noong kinausap ko si Billy, kinausap ko si Nikki, wala silang masamang sinasabi tungkol sa isa’t isa. Billy admits that there’s something going on in him which sabi ko, I will always be around for that. If he wants to talk, kung gusto niyang mailabas lang 'yung kung ano man yun, I’ll even just listen kung 'yan ang kailangan niya, 'yan lang ang gagawin ko,” he added.
Crawford earlier said he will leave the country this Saturday (August 3) to be with his family.
On Tuesday, he got mad when he defended his "It's Showtime" co-host Coleen Garcia, saying that she has nothing to do with the controversial breakup.
