BILLY Crawford returned to the “It’s Showtime” stage on Tuesday, Jan. 30, as they celebrated the birthday of Vhong Navarro.
Crawford was joined by their fellow Kanto Boys member Luis Manzano along with Joshua Garcia and Pepe Herrera to represent John Lloyd Cruz.
“Dapat po, kumpleto po ang Kanto Boys. Sadyang may hindi inaasahang pangyayari kaya si Lloydie ay hindi po nakapunta rito,” Navarro explained.
He added: “Kaya naman Lloydie basta nandito lang kaming mga kagrupo mo, mahal na mahal ka namin. Alam ko malalampasan mo ang lahat ng ito. Miss you.”
After their number, Crawford shared how he missed performing with them on “It’s Showtime.”
“Ilang taon na akong hindi nakaka-Billy Vhong, sobrang na-miss ko si Vhong, sobra-sobrang nakaka-miss,” he said. “Hindi ko makakalimutan, nagsisimba kami ni Vhong habang ongoing ‘yung ‘Showtime.’ Habang may ibang segment dito, hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ‘yung prayer time namin ni Vhong doon sa simbahan.”
Crawford also had this message for Navarro: “It was really a different experience, Vhong. Thank you for always being humble. Thank you sa pagiging totoong tao mo sa lahat ng mga kasamahan mo. Nandito lang kami para sa ‘yo, more success, more love, and more care, and gabayan ka pa sana ng Panginoon.” (ABS-CBN News)
