Amid a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter and heartfelt stories, they shared their gratitude for the blessings they've received, mused about what lies ahead, and unveiled the thrilling adventures they eagerly anticipate in the upcoming year.

Luis spoke about the concept of "redirection" as a form of protection against something you're not meant to be. Asked whether he wanted to enter politics again, Luis shared, "Honestly, hindi ko na naiisip. After everything we went through, everything that's going on... para sa akin, I found my niche once again."

He added, "Right after the campaign, the election. For a while, I was lost. Pero after, everything fell into place right away. Ayoko na sayangin din 'yun kasi not everyone is given a second chance na manumbalik sa industriya. (I don't want to waste that because not everyone is given a second chance to return to the industry.)"
