Billy Crawford expressed happiness for good friend and former It’s Showtime co-host Vhong Navarro’s temporary release from detention.
“Siyempre naman, sino ba naman ang hindi matutuwa sa balitang ito, especially itong Paskong to’y dapat magkasama ang mga pamilya, di ba?,” Billy, who recently returned home to the country after winning France’s Dancing with the Stars, was quoted as saying in an interview on Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update Youtube channel.
Billy also revealed getting in touch with Vhong after the latter was granted by the court to post P1 million bail amid rape charges filed against him by model Deniece Cornejo.
“I’m just really happy sa kanya na, at least, makakasama niya yung anak niya, makakasama niya yung asawa niya, at magiging buo yung Pasko nila,” said the Tropang LOL host.
“Naging malungkot sa buong industriya at sa sa Pilipinas, actually, nung naikulong siya,” he added.
Billy went on to request prayers for his embattled colleague.
“Pero, at the end of the day, sana ma-resolve nang tama at sana ipagdasal pa rin natin si Vhong kasi medyo mahaba-haba pa rin ang pagdadaanan niya.”
“Siyempre, legal matters na ito, hindi tayo pwedeng makisawsaw lang. So, kung ako lang, natutuwa ako dahil sa kaibigan ko na nakabalik siya sa pamilya niya ngayong Pasko.”
Vhong will be resting and spending time with his family before his expected return to It’s Showtime.
